Waxing - don’t do it on areas that are ‘male pattern’ hairy. Beard area, chest, tummy, back. As well as potentially messing up the skin, these are areas in which root removal can strengthen the follicle (and the hairs that grow start coming back coarse and darker and also keep growing (as opposed to before when they had a finite length before they fell out). No one is going to admit it publically but every time I talk about this, I get a few girls pm me saying “OMG this happened to me. I starting waxing/plucking and now I have loads of coarse chin/sideburn/upper lip hairs. What do I do?!”

So what do you suggest for those areas? I had my sideburns/beard area waxed/threaded on two seperate occasions in the last 3-4 years…now every time I touch my chin it feels like I hve a beard even though I can’t see anything in the mirror…even my husband says he can’t see any hair there…so I just pluck the few strands I see (have left the sideburns alone for a year+) (oh…I guess I admitted it publicly).

Re: the “hygiene” debate. Its hygenic to remove hair from the underarms and private area. Nowhere does it say in Islam that you have to have a brazilian or full body hair removal to be “clean” and “hygenic”.. nor does arm/leg hair have anything to do with hygiene. Bull. Its just personal preference. that’s it.
