I'm 19 and summer is here, which means lots of water parks and hanging out with friends and such. I would like to look a bit more "normal". My legs are bright white because I pretty much only wear jeans, but then that is only if you can see the skin through the hair. Anyone have some tips on getting it under control? Is too much leg hair a result of unusually long hairs, or more hairs per square inch? Would using hair clippers with a certain length guard look normal? Once I trim it, I'm going to try and get some sun to darken up my legs. If there were some way to make the hair thinner or finer that would be good too.

Thats what i do and get a fairly natural look. Don't go too short though, then it becomes noticeable that that is what you're doing Post Extras: RJC2001 Top Ten Contributor Reged: 05/02/02 Posts: 1298 Loc: USA 3 Photos Re: "trimming" leg hair # 3374 - 06/06/03 08:40 PM Edit Reply Quote Quick Reply I used to do that before I decided to shave mine clean. Try the 3/8" inch setting first and if you're not satisfied try the 1/2" setting. It is a viable method and will give you good results. The good thing about it is you only have to do it about every 2-4 weeks. My legs are not extremely hairy though just average so you may have to trim more often. I eventually got tired of that and decided to just go clean shaven and I have never regretted it. Going clean shaven makes the muscles look much bigger and well defined. RJC2001 Post Extras: Patrick Contributor Reged: 07/31/02 Posts: 97 Loc: N. CA. Re: "trimming" leg hair # 3375 - 06/14/03 03:49 PM Edit Reply Quote Quick Reply Get an electric hair clipper kit and use the 3/8" or 1/4" attachment. Or you can start with the 1/2" and go from there. Your legs should still look quite "normal" when you're done because the remaining hair is actually longer than 3/8" or 1/4" since it usually doesn't grow at a 90 degree angle in the first place. So what you end up doing is pretty much getting rid of the curly hair ends that make your hair "mass" look thicker than it probably is. I've been doing this with the 3/8" attachment for over a year and no one has ever noticed. Plus a tan looks a lot better now and it's not as messy to put on suntan lotion! I do my arms too and it looks fine. I've got an electric Wahl clipper that works great and a Conair battery operated one that does not. I've read good things on this site re: a beard trimmer - Remington w/ ceramic blade? - but I'm not sure if it can leave hair as long as 1/2". And hey, it's only hair. If you don't like it short, don't worry - it will always grow back!

The epilator I got any hairs over 6mm will temporary hang on the tweezers before removing the hair, however, for hairs shorter than 6mm it will take all the hair. Post Extras: Todd D.

Post Extras: cleancut1 Junior Member Reged: 06/19/03 Posts: 7 Loc: Canada Re: "trimming" leg hair # 3379 - 06/20/03 01:36 PM Edit Reply Quote Quick Reply Hey all. Good stuff here. I've got lots of hair below the waist line and I am a bit self conscious about shaving my legs completely in the midst of summer. However, I do go to the gym and see that I am a little too hairy in relation to everyone else. I have Sterling 2 Plus clippers by Wahl but the attachments i have go s-1, s-2, s-3, s-4 etc. I know the lower the number, the more hair you eliminate, but could someone tell me what level i should be using to get the 3/8 or 1/4" that everyone seems to be recommending. Are these clippers sufficient or should I get something more advanced? Should I ask for different attachment heights at the store I bought the clippers?? Also, what level do you recommend for arm hair so i leave the hair thin but don't get rid of it all in one shot? Post Extras: Patrick Contributor Reged: 07/31/02 Posts: 97 Loc: N. CA. Re: "trimming" leg hair # 3380 - 06/20/03 09:19 PM Edit Reply Quote Quick Reply Good question, Cleancut1. A #4 is a 1/2" attachment, #3=3/8" and #2=1/4". The numbers go up and down in 1/8" increments. So a 5=5/8", etc. I use a #2 (1/4") all over, but you might want to start with a #4 (1/2") on your legs and arms and see what you think. Depending on the angle of the hair, more or less will be cut with the same attachment. It's easy to then go to a lower number, but not so easy to go to a higher one! No need to get more attachments - you should have enough choices with the regular ones that came with the Wahl. Those clippers should be fine. This is easy work for clippers - they are used to much denser hair on your head than on your body. Post Extras: cleancut1 Junior Member Reged: 06/19/03 Posts: 7 Loc: Canada Re: "trimming" leg hair # 3381 - 06/20/03 11:17 PM Edit Reply Quote Quick Reply Patrick, thanks for the conversions. I figured I would live up to my name and ended up trying the #2 - it worked very well. I've been working out my legs for a couple of years now and I can finally see some of the definition. Also, I tan fairly easy so I am eagerly awaiting the sunshine to see what I can do. It appears that the hair covered my legs to such a degree that they are a little on the light side. I think its only a matter of time before I just trim it all, but its a decent start given that I have to put up with family in the summer. I trimmed in an upwards fashion and ended up getting the hair pretty short and even. Is this the method generally used or does it even matter? Also, post-shave, I hear people using Aloe Vera Gel to eliminate itching. Any thoughts on post-shave gels/lotions that could help? How frequently do guys generally shave the legs? For me, once every month would be great. Don't think I am ready for laser - I hear too many mixed opinions on the technologies but I am going to see a dermatalogist or two to see what they think.

I'm thinking triming would be best for the top/upper legs, and the rotary epilator for thinning the bottom. but i'm new to all this rotary stuff so i'm still experimenting so your just lettin it go malangaster? or you just trim and don't use the rotary at all? it works great for a quick thinning on the bottom legs i think though let me know k cool lol [ June 21, 2003, 03:23 PM: Message edited by: tiny ] Post Extras: Veinlover Junior Member Reged: 06/12/04 Posts: 121 Loc: Chicago Re: "trimming" leg hair # 3385 - 06/12/04 02:49 AM Edit Reply Quote Quick Reply I agree with RJC. I used to use a beard trimmer with an adjustable guide, and did it shorter and shorter until I finally just shaved it altogether. The problem with trimming it short, is while it looks OK, it feels horrible. The short hair is very stiff, and feels rough and prickly, like long stubble. Plus, it doesn't look very natural, so you might as well bite the bullet and get a nice smooth shave. If you leave it longer, you will feel better, and look better than you do now, and maybe that is OK for you. Try it. Basically, I hate leg hair, and just had to work up the nerve to shave my legs altogether. I get such positive comments on them I should have done it long ago. Women love them. Almost invariably, if I go buy shorts and try them on, the female sales help will comment on my legs, positively I will add. That surprised me a lot at first, but now I see that women, especially younger women ,love how they look. I will add, though, I have very muscular legs, so they do not look "feminine" shaved.

I've had some people ask me if I'm a cyclist. If anything shaving the legs makes them look more masculine because it brings out the muscularity. I say try it. Once you go hairless you probably won't want to go back.

I have always wanted to get rid of the higher-up hair, but I personally like having some hair below the knee...As a result, I've never tried it. Would it be possible to shave above while leaving it there below, or would it look ridiculous?

I followed the exact pattern as the others here. First I shaved the upper leg, then I shaved the upper leg and used a #2 on the lower leg, then I just started rotary epilating the entire leg. Yeah, as I posted under a different topic thread, it felt stupid having one area smooth and another hairy, I just went for it. And along the way I've learned a thing or two: If you want to have your entire legs smooth, then you should at least trim your arm hair down and wax your upper neck/high back. It just makes everything look balanced, people see it as a more natural state. If you have hairy arms and smooth legs, something just looks unnatural about it. Once I started trimming my arm hair, life in public has been a lot more agreeable. But I have a very, very public, highly visible job. My appearance is constantly being scrutinized. I had to trim my arm hair just a fraction bit at a time, I have such a strong urge to run my epilator quickly over my arms, maybe a year from now it'll be a possibility. Until then, I pluck strategically, and trim carefully.

In truth, everything that leaves you with lots of hair on one body part, and no hair on another, will look kind of funny. Women shave their legs, but have very little arm hair, and generally no chest or abs hair. If you have lots of hair and shave your legs, you may end upu shaving your arms too. I did. I'm not that hairy, but I like things to look consistent. Plus, I loved the shaved legs so much, when someone suggested I shave my arms, I tried it, and never went back. You cannot shave part of your leg. I began by trimming the whole leg, and then tried shaving just the lower part and trimmingn the quads, and that looked stupid, so just shaved the whole thing. I didn't mind the look trimmed short, but they felt awful, all prickly and sharp. Now that I shave my legs, I love how they look, and especially how they feel. I have muscular legs, and other than a female bodybuilder, my legs would not be mistaken for a womans' They look much more muscular, and more vascular, shaved. They tan better, and they feel wonderful. Also, when others touch me, it feels sooooooo nice, very sensual. Nothing like freshly shaved legs and nice, crisp cool sheets. Yum. Also, your smooth legs against hers feels very sexy. Many people recommend waxing legs, and it probably is great, I haven't tried it. I am concerned about the period where you need the hair to grow long enough to be waxed, and if your legs will be all prickly for a week or two.

I trim my leg hair, I started just a few months ago, and it looks great! I've got the hair trimmed just close enough, that it only leaves the lighter color hairs. It really looks the way I was at age 12. People who knew I had hairy legs take a second look, and say, did you shave your legs? I say no, look closer, there's still hair on my legs, it's just lighter. But that's all they ask, I never get questioned again. Remember, keep it trimmed short, then you'll look cool. I'm much happier with the way my legs look now, almost hairless.

I hated it. The look is nice, but I shaved them completely after a while, to get a nice smooth, sensual feel. Much better. And, you DO shave them, regardless of whether you shave it all off, or just mostly off. No one ever asks if I shave them or not, if they notices, they probably are embarrased to ask. I wouldn't go back to trimming after shaving. Anyone who touches you will much prefer them shaved smooth. It is more work, but worth it.

BONUS Gift with newsletter sign-up! Act Now! Facts, fiction hair loss Hair loss is something most men secretly 'fear' but hope it may never actually occur. After all, thinning hair and baldness is something that kids use to identify the elderly, despite the fact that the process can begin before 20 years of age! A good head of hair is associated with youth, virility and attractiveness, so when hair loss occurs it can come as something of a shock. Since records began, men have documented their attempts to reverse the process of hair loss and cure baldness. The bible tells the story of how when Samson's hair was cut he lost his strength and power. The unspoken agenda for men is that to be hairless, or for the hair to be depleted, equates with a loss of power and virility, something that is clearly not the case.  Some creative but ultimately fruitless concoctions have been devised in an attempt to get the thatch back. Cleopatra used a mixture of horse teeth, bear grease, burnt mice and deer marrow in her attempt to cure Julius Caesar's baldness (it didn't work). Hedgehog urine was also thought to be beneficial. The smell in the heat of the Egyptian sun must have been something very special! Fact: there is currently no cure for baldness. There are, however, a number of things that you might consider: Life Coach Suggestions for male hair loss Emphasize your other facial features. Lots of men are using products to improve their looks. There are many products in the department and drug stores that improve your skin. If you have great eyes think about getting your eyelashes dyed. Seek advice from a beautician, health expert or friend.  Update your clothes style. Good clothes and attention to your appearance can make you look much younger and more attractive. Make the most of what hair you do have. One of the most effective is to get a good hair cut. Short, cropped and styled. Consider having a light perm, it can add volume. Shaving it off completely looks great. Get a hair piece. Covering up a bald area can be the answer. Hair pieces now look very realistic. Good ones can be very expensive but last a long time when cared for properly. Wear a hat. There are great hats around - from cool to just plain stylish. Medications for male hair loss There are two drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration and are shown to have a positive effect on balding, Finasteride and Minoxidil.  Finasteride is a 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitor, that is, it works by blocking 5-Alpha reductase and so prevents the enzyme from converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It is DHT that causes male pattern baldness. There are two drugs that contain Finasteride, Propecia and Proscar. Originally prescribed by doctors for benign prostate hyperplasia (prostate problems), the drug has been shown to stop hair loss and in some cases reverse the balding process. Finasteride takes about three months to show results and hair loss occurs a year after the drug is stopped. Side effects are unusual but can include impotence, reduced libido, ejaculation disorders, breast tenderness and enlargement, hypersensitivity reactions such as rashes and lip swelling. Women of child bearing potential should not touch the drug and condoms should be used as the drug is excreted in semen as there is a risk of birth defects. Minoxidil (Regaine) is found to be effective in about 25% of men with baldness on the crown. Applied twice a day in a cream the hair growth only occurs as long as it is used. Minoxidil was originally approved to treat high blood pressure. Side effects are unusual but Regaine should not be used by people with a history of heart problems, sudden weight gain, chest pains, fainting, or rapid heartbeat. Surgical Intervention for male hair loss In the case of hair transplants very small plugs of hair are taken from the side or back of the scalp and transplanted onto the bald patches. The procedure has improved over the years but it still takes a number of months to give a good effect.  Tissue expansion for male hair loss- Tiny balloons are inserted under the scalp between the areas of dense hair and gradually inflated over a number of months. This makes the area up to one third larger and it is this area that is surgically removed and the sides are pulled up to the top of the head.  Scalp reduction for male hair loss- Loose skin on the scalp is surgically removed pulling the hair on the sides of the head up. As the skin on the forehead is also sometimes slightly lifted it lessens wrinkles.  1 2 Next Important disclaimer information about this About site.        Topic Index | Email to a Friend Our Story | Be a Guide | Advertising Info | Work at About | Site Map | Icons | Help User Agreement | Ethics Policy | Patent Info. | Privacy Policy | Kids' Privacy Policy ©2005 About, Inc., A part of the New York Times Company .

Laser Hair Removal Index Hair Removal Index ||| Quackwatch Home Page Hair Removal Methods: Laser Hair Removal Overview Andrea James Laser hair removal is done by beaming a specified wavelength of light from a handpiece into the skin, where it targets dark material (usuallythe pigment in hair). This is intendedto cause thermal and/or mechanical damage to a hair follicle while sparing surrounding tissues. Someconsumers experience permanent hair reduction, but there are limiteddata on how often that occurs, how long hair reduction usuallylasts, and how much reduction is typical. Advantages Some consumers have experienced long-lasting hair removal or permanent hair reduction. Considered safe if performed properly. Useful for large areas such as backs or legs. Regrowth can come back lighter in color or finer in texture. Light-skinned consumers with dark hair have the best results. Disadvantages Long-term data on safety and effectiveness have not been accurately established. Response rates have not been established. Regrowth rates have not been accurately established and cannot be predicted due to numerous variables. Generally not as effective on unpigmented (gray) hairs and red or blonde hair. Must be used very cautiously (if at all) on darker skin tones or on consumers who tan themselves. Improper treatment can cause burns, lesions, skin discoloration lasting several months, or patchy/patterned regrowth. Recent data suggest other skin structures are often affected by laser irradiation, and long term effects of this constitute an unknown risk. Requires eye protection. Can be expensive. Some find treatment painful. Regulation varies by state, so inadequate controls exist to ensure competent practitioners. Some consumers, even ideal candidates, do not respond to treatment. Quack Claims " Painless " or " virtually painless ." While many clients tolerate laser without requiring pain relief, it's overpromise to state that treatment will be painless for all consumers. " Permanent hair removal" or "100% permanent" or "permanent ." Some consumers experience permanent reduction of treated hair over the course of treatment, but published studies have observed that many consumers are not good candidates, and even ideal candidates with light skin and dark hair do not always respond to treatment. See the page on permanent hair reduction below. " Guaranteed 0% regrowth ." There is no published clinical data to substantiate this sort of overpromise. " Laser electrolysis " or " lasertrolysis ." These quack marketing terms are used to blur important distinctions between laser and electrolysis effectiveness. Laser has several advantages over electrolysis, and vice versa. Terms like these only confuse consumers. " Light years ahead of electrolysis. " This quack marketing term suggests that laser is better than electrolysis for consumers, but this is not always the case. Additional Information Due to the complicated issues surroundingthis hair removal method, I have divided this into several sections.If you're researching a specific laser type or issue, you cango right to that topic. For a more thorough review, I recommendreading the pages in order. Laser Terminology and Concepts History and Current Issues What Is "Permanent Hair Reduction"?
