thank you for writing this piece. as an adolescent who also worried about body hair, I relate to this so much. I have also struggled with hair on my face and have found using an IPL laser at home to be a helpful tool🫶

thank you for your comment!🤍 I’ll look into it! while researching paradoxical hypertrichosis someone mentioned that that type of laser helped with the hair on their face.

i remember when people would make fun of my brows in elementary only to now tell me they’re jealous of how thick and “strong” they are, the switch up is a great reminder of how little these standards and ideals matter!
