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.

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.

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.

But today, it's the second most popular nonsurgical cosmetic procedure in America -- and its popularity is skyrocketing. Recent Company News » Ideal Image Inc. Latest News » Florida's hate crimes up 21.5% » Joint venture buys Riande-owned hotel in Orlando » Ginn Co. acquires Vermont ski resort » Conventions leave behind more than $1M in donated goods, services » C. Fla. among top destinations for New Year's, family vacations More » Companies in the News » People in the News Consider: Last year, 1.4 million laser hair removal procedures were done, a 1,173 percent increase when compared with only 110,000 such procedures in 1998, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Inc. in New York City. "Laser offers comfort, speed and accuracy with getting rid of hair," says Kimberly Masser, managing director and minority partner in the Central Florida franchise of Tampa-based Ideal Image Inc. , which offers laser hair removal. "I love it. I had my legs done, and it has shaved 20 minutes off the time it takes me to get ready in the morning. There's no stubble. It's remarkable." The procedure is proving attractive to both men and women, who apparently have a great desire to shed excess facial and body hair. In fact, the industry is projected to rake in $3 billion-$5 billion a year by 2007, says Masser: "It's little hairs becoming a very big business." Not completely risk-free Those numbers continue to climb, despite the fact that two young women died recently -- one in Tucson, Ariz., and another in Raleigh, N.C. -- as a result of using too much numbing cream before getting hair removal done at laser clinics. According to published reports, the two women completely coated their legs in the cream while at home and then suffered a toxic reaction on their way to the laser clinics, which led to coma and then death. Detractors blame the fact that compounding pharmacies, where the creams were made, are largely unregulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Latricia Stone, a local nurse who works in the medical device industry, says she was aware of the two deaths before she decided to have laser hair removal done at Ideal Image on her eyebrows, underarms, legs and bikini area, but didn't let that change her mind. In fact, she's even used some numbing cream herself. "You get a full sheet of instructions on the numbing cream -- how to use it and when to apply it," she says. "They are very thorough in giving proper patient education. You're not supposed to coat yourself down." Courtney Gleaton, a cosmetic surgery consultant at The Bougainvillea Clinique in Winter Park, agrees. "Laser hair removal is very safe," she says, adding that the procedure has such minimal discomfort that a numbing cream really isn't even needed. However, other risks, say Gleaton, include possibly burning the skin or discoloring dark skin with the laser. That's why it's important, she says, to make sure the facility has the latest technology, is overseen by a doctor and uses only licensed medical professionals such as a nurse practitioner or a physician assistant to do the procedure. » Continued Page: 1 | 2 © 2005 American City Business Journals Inc.

Related Articles, Links Reduced levels of mercury in first baby haircuts of autistic children. Holmes AS , Blaxill MF , Haley BE . SafeMinds, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. Reported rates of autism have increased sharply in the United States and the United Kingdom. One possible factor underlying these increases is increased exposure to mercury through thimerosal-containing vaccines, but vaccine exposures need to be evaluated in the context of cumulative exposures during gestation and early infancy. Differential rates of postnatal mercury elimination may explain why similar gestational and infant exposures produce variable neurological effects. First baby haircut samples were obtained from 94 children diagnosed with autism using Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition (DSM IV) criteria and 45 age- and gender-matched controls. Information on diet, dental amalgam fillings, vaccine history, Rho D immunoglobulin administration, and autism symptom severity was collected through a maternal survey questionnaire and clinical observation. Hair mercury levels in the autistic group were 0.47 ppm versus 3.63 ppm in controls, a significant difference. The mothers in the autistic group had significantly higher levels of mercury exposure through Rho D immunoglobulin injections and amalgam fillings than control mothers. Within the autistic group, hair mercury levels varied significantly across mildly, moderately, and severely autistic children, with mean group levels of 0.79, 0.46, and 0.21 ppm, respectively. Hair mercury levels among controls were significantly correlated with the number of the mothers' amalgam fillings and their fish consumption as well as exposure to mercury through childhood vaccines, correlations that were absent in the autistic group. Hair excretion patterns among autistic infants were significantly reduced relative to control. These data cast doubt on the efficacy of traditional hair analysis as a measure of total mercury exposure in a subset of the population. In light of the biological plausibility of mercury's role in neurodevelopmental disorders, the present study provides further insight into one possible mechanism by which early mercury exposures could increase the risk of autism.

Treat Hair Loss If

Digi Bits: Prescription Medicines That Are Proven To Treat Hair Loss Notify Blogger about objectionable content. What does this mean? BlogThis! Digi Bits Tuesday, October 25, 2005 Prescription Medicines That Are Proven To Treat Hair Loss If you are like millions of Americans and are losing your hair, you can do something to stop it. Years ago, there were no viable treatments on the market to slow or regrow your hair back. In the last 10 years a couple of drugs have gained popularity by treating and regrowing hair. There are two current medicines on the market. One requires a prescription and the other medicine is an over the counter remedy. Both medicines have been proven effective by the Federal Drug Administration for slowing and regrowing back your hair. Minoxodil Minoxodil is the active ingredient in Rogaine. Rogaine is a topical solution that is applied twice daily to the scalp. Over the course of a few months, not only will it slow your hair loss but also regrow it. Regrowing your hair can take a while and results are more often seen on the crown of the scalp. Propecia Propecia is actually a drug to shrink the prostate, but was shown effective in controlling the hormones that cause hair loss. Propecia requires a prescription by your doctor. This drug has been proven to work better then Minoxodil in regrowing hair back. It also grows hair back on the front of the scalp as well. While both remedies are not a cure and won’t grow back a full head of hair, they do slow down the hair loss and can fill up some of the more pronounced areas. So if you’re losing your hair check into these two hair loss remedies. posted by Elliot at 6:04 AM << Home Other Information Other Sites of interest Links to other sites of interest Previous Stop Motion Sickness Introduction to Acne AdSense Money Making Alternatives The Most Important Casino Tip The Two Most Common Sleeping Disorders Inviting Your Web Site Visitors to Stay at Your Site Longer Protect Yourself from Ebay Scams Family Tree and Genealogy Save Your Marriage Become a Home Inspector
