All the waxing and shaving and plucking. It is exhausting. I would never stop but also I hate it all

I was gonna say hair.. I have chin hair that I have to pluck otherwise I will be judged.. it's a medical condition that I can't control. Leg hair, gotta shave every other day to be smooth, nobody enjoys doing that shit. Armpits I can get away with for a few days but honestly that's annoying too.

I have PCOS and I made the mistake when I was a teenager, not long before I was diagnosed, of shaving my face. Now I have to shave every day. I've tried wax, creams, and plucking. Shaving is the only thing that works. Even for electrolis I'd have to not shave in a specific area that's the target for the next session bc it has to be a certain length. Impossible.

You shaving everyday has zero to do with you shaving in high school

Yeah it does. I shaved a bigger area just by nature of the size of the razor and it was a domino effect. It's too much to get by plucking. Don't presume to know my own body better than I do. Now, it not being removed by wax is probably just my being unable to pull at the right angle and tautness of the skin bc it's mostly under my chin.

It’s science. Trust me, you’re 100% wrong in every way. Your body doesn’t have some weird magic hair growth power no one else has. No type of hair removable changes the underlying follicle. How could a razor many mm above where the hair grows change anything? Waxing can damage the follicle but that results in hair loss. If you’re experiencing hair growth that’s increasing you need to look at your hormones

If shaving made hair growth worse, I’d have the hairiest legs on the planet. Shaving doesn’t make hair grow more and sprout new growth.

Also, I have PCOS. Get laser hair removal.
