Hair Removal

[deliciouslyebil.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm a girl and I go to college and live away from home, so it's inconvenient for me to find the resources or time to wax. I seem to have alot of hair for a female. My facial hair grows pretty quickly. I usually wax at home, and that works pretty well, but my upper lip hair returns after three weeks, and I also have hair on my stomach. Unfortunately, I have dark hair, so it's noticeable. Is this normal? Is it a hormonal issue? Is there a certain hair removal cream or wax or method I could use to impede hair growth altogether, or at least prolong the hair growth period to longer than 4 weeks? It's so inconvenient. Thanks!

It could be a hormone issue, but it also could be really normal. I have dark body hair, and lots of it; I get dark hair on my breasts, lip, chin, cheeks, and butt... and I get a treasure trail. :) No hormonal issues here, I'm just a naturally hairy girl.

If you're concerned about it, it's certainly not a bad idea to try some hormone testing, but it may very well be perfectly normal. More particularly, the growth you describe doesn't sound abnormal at all -- I don't wax my facial hair (I pluck or shave), but it's usually back within a week.
