It’s that time of year again... No shave November! You might recognize it as the time of the year where the guys put down their razors with goals to look like Santa Claus by December. They also do it to promote awareness for Prostate cancer, so they get a free pass. However, is no shave November exclusively for the guys? Why is it that society expects us to be hairless? And just who are we being hairless for? Wouldn’t it be nice to not have to shave your legs for an entire month without being judged? & Use all the money you would spend on shaving and donate it to cancer research? In honor of No Shave November, here are some benefits of NOT shaving. Maybe, just maybe, as ladies we can give it a shot!
1. Your body hair has a purpose.
Just like eyelashes help keep dust and dirt out of your eyes, vaginal hair helps protect us from bacteria. Body hair also helps to regulate your body temperature. Your body knows what it wants, so don’t fight it.
2. Avoiding ingrown hairs.
Ingrown hairs can come from something as simple as improper shaving. We’ve all been there and it’s just annoying and painful. That should be reason enough to say say bye-bye to the razor.
3. Saving time!
When I shave, I’ll usually spend an extra 15-20 minutes in the shower. That’s way more than usual! That extra time could be spent doing something more productive, like making breakfast or even perfecting your winged eyeliner.
4. No more irritation.
If you are like me and have sensitive skin, the slightest things can cause inflammation. Most Dermatologist’s recommend women to NOT shave. Yeah, doctor reccommended. So why spend extra money on shaving products just to spend more money on soothing creams? All of this, just for the hair to grow back? Totally not worth it if you ask me.
Ladies let’s DROP the razors and the wax, and give No shave November a try for a GOOD cause!
