HEALTH

Your Bod

Hair, hair, everywhere!

I have hair growing about almost everywhere on my body. Is that normal?

Let’s take a trip back to bio and think about the animal kingdom. Humans are mammals, right? And a defining characteristic of mammals is body hair. Just ‘cause you’re more teen queen than Planet of the Apes doesn’t mean you’re exempt from the rules of nature, so body hair is pretty much a given.

Yeah, yeah, it sort of stinks, but the hair that covers pretty much your entire bod protects you from the elements and keeps you warm. If you want to get rid of it, you have lots of options, but aside from the hair under your pits and coating your legs, most of it is 100-percent socially acceptable to leave as-is—and you don’t have to de-fuzz at all unless you want to. Nobody should be sizing you up based on your body hair, so stopping worrying about it, sweetie!

We want to hear from you! Send us your weirdest body questions here (seriously, we'll answer anything!) and it just might get featured.
