Nipple hair isn’t something widely associated with women. However, hair doesn’t ask about your gender. It just grows wherever it wants. Even a single tiny hair near the nipple is able to make a girl burst into a panic. If there are more than one, it can bring serious self-esteem issues.
Why do these hairs grow where they shouldn’t have? Or we’re just used to the thought of them being only a male prerogative? Actually, women’s skin is also not bare. It is covered with hair. In some places, it’s darker and thicker, in some can barely be noticed, in some, it doesn’t grow at all. The amount of hair follicles is individual and mostly genetically predetermined. Our skin is stuffed with them, regardless of gender.
In most cases, the boost of body hair growth in women is induced by a hormonal imbalance. This is why it often occurs during great hormonal changes in the female body such as puberty, pregnancy or menopause.
If these processes are inevitable and natural, not all the hormonal changes are like that. For example, polycystic ovarian syndrome is a systemic hormonal disease that affects the entire body. If you have a problem with extra body hair, and you aren’t an adolescent, pregnant or in your menopause, make an appointment with your gyno.
Of course, you can remove your hair but this won’t stop it from growth until you figure out your hormonal background. The skin around the nipple is very sensitive and easily damaged. There are several ways in which you can do it harmlessly.
It’s cheap and fast, you can do it at home. You will need not only tweezers but an antiseptic too, to avoid the infection.
It’s the safest way but the result won’t last for a long time. In addition, the sharp ends of the growing hair can be very annoying.
It’s not the most pleasant procedure in the world but the result will last much longer. It’s better to do it in the salon, not at home, to be sure in its safety.
This procedure is the most expensive but gives the best results. It is more successful if your body hair is dark. With light hair, it may be completely ineffective.
The problem of unwanted nipple hair is possible to solve. Remember that it doesn’t make you less attractive or defines your femininity. It’s important to reveal the true reason for its growth and work in both directions, from the inside and outside. Even if you don’t feel the need to remove it and it doesn’t bother you, check your hormones to avoid deeper health problems.
