Before thick eyebrows were considered "on fleek," every hairy beauty knew the struggle of feeling like their body hair was source of ridicule, bankruptcy or a razor burn to the self-esteem. From playground bullies to naked mole-rat social norms, growing up hairy has been anything but a smooth journey.
1. Waxing/shaving/threading/bleaching your upper lip for the first time was like discovering a whole new world.
2. You can relate to Cousin Itt from the Addams Family on a personal level.
3. You might have an aunt with a beard or some form of chin hair... You might also have a fear of becoming that aunt one day.
4. You probably went through a "chola" phase where you plucked off way too much eyebrow hair.
5. Your body doesn't produce peach fuzz, it produces coconut hair.
6. Playground bullies had roast sessions making fun of your body hair... You probably shaved your arms/legs for the first time because of these bullies.
7. Before your eyebrows were "on fleek," your self-esteem was on delete from people calling them caterpillars, unibrow and bushy.
8. Casually wondering if your friends have "hair there too."
9. Your sideburns are Hyde from "That 70's Show" thick.
10. Preparing for Summer is like preparing for war.
11. Learning to love your body, hair and all was a battle growing up. Whether you let your body hair grow free or decide to keep it tamed, remember that you have always been on fleek.
