It also lessens the friction between skin and clothes, and holds in heat to keep you warm when you need it, which leads to more revealing clothes. Body hair even helps provide a subtle dating service by retaining human unique personal scent, conveyed by chemicals called pheromones. It helps a potential mate become attracted to you. Sometime after puberty, body starts sprouting hair in places that were probably baby smooth just a few short months before. It is especially around genitals, under arms, on legs, and for guys on the face and neck. Many guys find it exciting to start growing body and facial hair, because they think it is a sign that they are changing from boys to men. Some people choose to keep their new hair because they like how it looks, their partner prefers it, or they leave it for religious reasons, among others. However, other people prefer to bleach, trim, or completely remove hair from some or all parts of their bodies. No matter what you decide, the fact is that you have got plenty of options for dealing with your own body hair. It is the easiest option of all just sit back, and let it grow. You get all the benefits of having the hair, and you do not have to spend time or money trying to get rid of it. However, some people find that armpit hair can encourage the growth of bacteria there, leading to body odor, so they rather decide to remove it. You could also bleach or dissolve it. Chemical bleaches lighten hair so it is hard to see, while depilatories dissolve hair so it washes away. Both are good for places not only where you would rather not have hair, but also where hair removal is difficult. Both are easy to apply but can irritate sensitive skin, which is common problem. Off course, you always have option to shave it. Shaving hair is inexpensive and easy, where pack of three disposable razors costs around $1.50, and shaving cream costs around $4. The downside is that you are scraping a very sharp blade across delicate skin. You must be careful, or you could be in for some serious cuts. Most girls prefer plucking or waxing it. Pulling hair out by the roots leaves you smoother longer; it can take weeks for hair to grow back. However, it can also be painful, and some hairs can come back ingrown as common problem of recurrent hair growth.
