I’m not asking him to, like, wax his balls.

Sometimes my husband asks me to shave it or to wax it and that really bothers me. The reason I don’t do anything to my arms is because I really don’t mind the hair on them. “My relationship with shaving and waxing is very strange. Shave yours.” – Vanity Fair, October 2016 I’ll have no man telling me to shave my fuckin’ legs. On whether her husband minds her unshaven legs: “He has no choice. I just got up and I just got out of there.” – The Graham Norton Show, November 2010 It was probably one of the most awkward moments of my entire life. You’re Rihanna, aren’t you?’ I was just like … awkward. And she was basically like, ‘I know who you are.

“Well, I went to this wax salon, and she recognized me before I took my clothes off … And then, you know, obviously, I’m laying there in pain, and she just decides to bust out - and you know what, every time I get a wax, I always specify that the lady is old and speaks Russian or no English - and she was 25-year-old American. I didn’t really change the shape, I just got rid of all the baby hairs.” – People, March 2015 Everyone would just Photoshop it every time I did a photo shoot. If you Google 2008 or 2007, I had the craziest, hairiest hairline, so I did laser it. So in high school, I would wax it off because there was just so much hair, and then I would laser it off a little bit. “I have the hairiest forehead you could ever imagine, and I would always break out and get all cracky on my forehead just from all the hair that I had. Below, 25 women - from Victoria’s Secret models to body-hair activists - get real about their own body hair (from eyebrows to pubes to leg hair), whether they choose to laser everything off, or let it grow out as nature intended. More than 99 percent of American women reportedly remove their body hair, spending tens of thousands of dollars over the course of their lifetimes to wax, pluck, shave, epilate, thread, or laser unwanted fuzz off their bodies. Thanks to warped beauty standards, female body hair often comes attached to a stigma.
