My legs are getting less hairier

Hiya guys. I didnt shave my legs for around a year and normally, my hair grows back really quickly within 2 days or something. Plus, they used to be very hairy. But around a month ago, I shaved my legs and there's hardly any hair growing back - just out of interest, how can someone become less hairy????:confused:

That happens when you wax. Each time you have the hair removed, some of the roots 'die' in a way, and stop producing hair, so the longer you have it done, the less it grows back, which is why I only ever go now about every 2 or so months, and have minimal hair growth.

Not sure why this would happen with shaving as you aren't getting the hairs by the roots, just cutting off the tops. Mysterious...

My legs are doing the same thing! There are patches on them which don't even really grow hair any more (it is very fine and blonde as opposed to dark and thick). It's great tho, means that I don't have to worry about shaving my legs so much anymore. Hopefully it will all go like that someday!

Are you serious :confused: ? Did you have a boyfriend during that time? Didn't he freak out from all the hairiness???

Not too late to remember basic grammar rules?

I did use to wax my legs and then I stoped completely for a year. I couldnt be bothered to buy wax strips so I shaved them instead!
