writes:hi. i have a bit of a problem, and i dont know if this is normal or not.when i shave my legs, armpits, or anyother part of my body it grows back within the next day, so i have to shave everyday and its really winding me up. the thing i dont get is i get hair in unusaul places, i get little black hairs around the outline of my nipples, and i even get some around my moustache, thing is they are black hairs but i was born blonde so im a natural blonde, why is this hair black? i dont get black hair on my legs, just my armpits, arms, moustache, nipples. everyday i have to shave it off because it dont look very nice. i dont understand why my body hair grows back so quickly, i have tried waxing but its just the same, its really getting me down because most girls dont have to shave everyday. do you have any idea why this is happening and is there anyway i can stop this?

I shave my lower face everyday and sometimes I get black hairs on my face (where my beard grows) and I think it's dead hair so I pull them

also i had un-protected sex with my partner so could this be that im pregnant or that i have polycystic ovarian syndrome? im confused.

You could also try waxing instead of shaving. a wax can last 2 to 3 weeks before needing a repeat.

 You can't generalise so much! Loads of girls are hairy, I shave under my arms every day and have to get my tash done nearly every two weeks when waxing should last for at least 3/4 and I know loads of my friends are the same.
Laser hair removal is a nearly permanent answer to the problem but it expensive and I've been told it hurts a lot.
Just remember that women have different perks and all are different. I may be hairy but my period only lasts for 4 days instead of some women who have one for 7.
Being hairy is a pain, and there is no decent answer to your question - maybe the best thing will be to see your GP?
Good luck!

Until I discovered waxing..then now, I currently use epilator. I am so glad I am finished with the shaving. Now I enjoy my skin hairless for 3 weeks. At first they hurt but you'll get used to it. I discourage shaving really.
