Why do you always appear so unexpectedly? Like when I’m driving, sunlight shining on my face, and I lower the visor to check my reflection at a stoplight. Suddenly, there you are—a new chin hair, sprouting from a spot that was hair-free just yesterday, and almost an inch long. Seriously, an inch overnight? Now that I’ve spotted you, I can’t ignore your existence. I’ll be preoccupied with thoughts of you and can’t resist touching you until I get home for a private “playdate” with my tweezers. But until then, I have to drag you along to the grocery store and my kid’s game. You’ll be there, just hanging out. An inch long. Overnight.
And since we’re addressing my hair grievances, I must call out you, Ingrown Bikini Line. You and your unruly friends can take a hike. I’m exhausted from maintaining you. It feels like you’re on a growth spurt, sprouting hair like it’s gone out of style. I’m not aiming for a prize-winning bush at the county fair, but I do appreciate neat edges. Lately, you’ve been growing wildly, and it’s time to rein you in.
While we’re discussing unwanted hair, let’s not forget about you, Mr. Fuzzy Mustache. You seem blissfully unaware of your presence on my face. You don’t care about gender; you’re an equal-opportunity hair. Like an annoying fly drawn to a picnic dish, you keep returning despite my attempts to remove you. My upper lip isn’t your ideal resting place—please vacate.
Underarm hair, let’s have a word. Could you at least attempt to grow in the same direction? Your chaotic growth is challenging to manage. You require a steady hand when shaving, which is particularly tricky in the dark.
And what’s with the hair on my big toes and the tops of my feet? Just why?
Finally, we must address the mysterious Nipple Fur. Seriously, am I not dealing with enough? Why do I need stray hairs around my areolas? When my doctor casually mentioned, “It’s normal to have a few stray hairs around your nipples,” I couldn’t help but respond with an exaggerated, “Thanks, doc,” in my lowest voice, because, let’s face it, nipple hair doesn’t exactly scream femininity.
Honestly, I don’t care about the various hairs on my body. Your landscaping choices are your own—no judgment here! Love your hair or want it gone? Both are normal. But if I’m honest, I’m not a fan of the random hairs on my own body.
As I age, the chaos grows. Every hair seems to be an issue I must confront. Each day, I make my rounds—a quick check of the mustache, underarms, chin, brows, and feet. I neaten my bikini line and take a side-eye at the nipples. It’s time-consuming! Showering takes longer, and there’s no way to “top off” the maintenance. There’s a hair rebellion happening, and I’m fed up.
Perhaps I could simply stop caring and only tidy up when I have company. That strategy usually works!
