- If I have hair on my upper lip
I'm just like, no one look at me.
Like, this is horrible.
- I am 100% a hairy girl.
- I am constantly grooming my hair.
- I think I have a very thin coat of hair all over my body.
- My hair is blonde, so you think,
oh, you can't see it.
But, it's so thick and there's so much of it
that it doesn't matter.
- It's just alway, like, double-checking
little areas of my body.
- Look at my arm.
- I wish that I could say
I'm not self-conscious about it, but I am.
- When I was in middle-school
I shaved my arms just as frequently as I shaved my legs.
Until I ran into this problem where,
I would shave to about here
but then my shoulders and back would still be hairy.
So it just looked like I was wearing hairy sleeves.
- Right after I turned 12
my aunt bought me an electric razor for Christmas.
At first, my mom was like,
no you can't use that yet.
Then, I was like, no mom my legs are really hairy.
I want to use it.
- I was bullied because of being hairy.
The boys started picking on me
and came up with a really clever name.
Since my name is Sam
they called me Sam-squatch.
I remember a lot of times going home crying.
- The height of my hairy insecurity was when I was 14.
I asked my mom to get my hormones tested
because I was sure that I had an imbalance
and that's why I was so hairy.
Begrudgingly she let me get a blood test.
I was completely fine, I was just hairy.
- I remember in eighth grade
everyone starting to wear bikinis.
I noticed that other girls
didn't really have a lot of back hair.
I decided to take a razor
and try to feel where I had back hair.
Later my friend, my very good friend,
came up to me and she said,
"Hey, um, you shouldn't try to do that again
because you can just see the line on your back."
- You know, it's things like that started to happen
and you're like, oh, that's weird other people are
noticing how much hair I have on my body.
- I've spent a lot of money.
Waxing, shaving, threading, plucking.
- I usually just stick to the razor method,
and book an eyebrow wax
once every 10 days or so.
- When I go get my brows waxed
I pretty much get my face waxed.
- So, like, my big toe and then all my leg.
- Trim my arm hair, and bleach it.
- And I tweeze the dark hairs under my belly button.
- I'm one of those people that
has a five o'clock shadow under my arms
the same day I shaved.
- When I get my mustache waxed off.
When I leave that salon you can't tell me anything.
I have a bare lip.
I'm right, you're wrong.
Regardless.
- Having hairless skin does feel nice under silky sheets.
But, I wouldn't be able to appreciate it if
I didn't have so much hair.
- I would definitely say that
I've become less self-conscious about it.
- It's normal dude, don't worry about it.
(laughing)
People are going to say weird things
but, even if you weren't hairy,
people are going to find something else to
say weird things about.
- The hair on my arms is probably
three inches long right now.
And, I'm doing great.
- There's a part of you that, when you see it,
you feel almost masculine.
I'm like, I'm a really femine girl,
why did God give us this?
But, at the same time,
it's just all about embracing who you are.
- Yeah, now it's just become the thing,
where, like, I'll just wear pants.
Winter is my favorite season because
I ain't got to worry about it.
