I haven’t removed my leg hair in 2 years, i love it, my skin is very soft, I save lots of money and time, it’s honestly great. If anyone is so superficial that leg hair keeps them from being interested, i don’t want to have anything to do with them anyways. I will never stop dismantling patriarchy and the societal norms coming with it. Every body is beautiful just the way it is, and no one should change their body in any way if it isn’t out of sincere personal interest.
I didn't at all in highschool and life was so much easier... do now because I got fed up of being asked why not, but might go back at some point, who knows!
That is so amazing. I also recently decided to stop waxing and removing my hair from anywhere around my body except for purely for convenience and I. Feel. So. Liberated. I also decided to not wear any clothes that men are not expected to wear and I honestly was never a feminine dresser anyway but getting rid of the bra has been great. My posture's great now and I feel much more confident.
I don't shave my legs either. I tried it once and felt my skin felt weird. The only thing I shave are my armpits from time to time. Pubic hair I just trim when I need to, and shave the bikini area if I plan to go swimming. Then of course, head hair I trim the split ends. Apart from that I don't touch any other hair on my body. Body hair has always been explained to me as hair with a purpose (either to protect us or an indication of our growth) , so I don't pay it much attention.
ahhh this is so inspiring and empowering, thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Jesus loves you
About the redness in the bikini area: make sure you showered for about 10 minutes before so your pores can open up, I use a generous olive oil to make it smooth and then NEVER go up (only if you really need to, you can usually get rid of most of your hair down there by going downwards and then side to side a few times). After that, close your pores with cold water for about a minute(start lukewarm and then slowly find your way to really cold), its not fun, but your pores will close and this is very essential to prevent infections. After that, only pat dry, never rub! Protect the skin with a bit more olive oil and put on your comfiest paar of cotton panties 😀 this was a complete gamechanger for me! I sometimes still get bumps here and there, but much much less than before!
i really should take this advice, and em always tells me to never go up . . . but when it come to it i'm always just like wellllllllllllll let's get this done in 2 minutes 😂😂😂 thank you though, i will try and step up my game 😉🙈
The worst part is the itchiness from the re growth, always gives me a rash.
why is this so relatable . . . 😅
Hi, Holly. Will you ever talk about periods? You run 6 times a week + other workouts. How do you deal with it? Do you even have it? I think it would be helpful for a lot of girls.
I agreee
Yes I agree
@Sasha Savelli you should doing some specific workouts for periods in case you really like workouts.....ive searched it up it helps 👍
Yes! I've started to workout a lot more during quarantine but I just can't do it while I'm on my period🙄.
It always really sets me back because I don't feel comfortable enough to excersise for the first 3 days due to cramps and bloating.
It would be great to get some tips from someone on how to excersise while you're on your period.
Yes can u talk about it please? It will be really helpful
I dont shave my underarms and legs during winters because I dont find it necessary and because I don't wear anything short during the winters i find it useful to not shave during winters.
The most i actually shave is probably during summers and i completely agree with you. One shouldn't find it necessary to do it just because somebody outside is gonna judge you. I have very fine hair on my hands. And tbh I havent even once shaved or removed my hair on the hands and I find it completely okay to not do so.
I have friends who go shaving their hands,legs and underarms and eveythng and then there's me who just does it during summers and I'm okay with it. I think it's time we normalize body hair. I dnt think its smthng that anyone shld be ashamed of.
exactly, i 100% agree with you. i mean, it is all personal preference, but we really need to normalise body hair!
Really love to see that more girls are addressing the fact that body hair exists and it i nothing to be ashamed of!!
Congratulations for the awesome work you have been doing!
Just a tiny little request, more real time study with me videos, I love them and studying alongside Holly is amazing!
thank you, but it really just needs to be normalised! and yes sure!!!!! there will be a live study with holly coming soon!
I've actually never shaved the top of my legs....am I the only one? The hair on my thighs is so fine and light, I have never felt it necessary. I do shave the bottoms of my legs regularly though and I epilate my armpits.
The bikini area is a whole other issue which I think I need professional help for 😂
Same. The hair I have above my knees is blonde and so thin that I don't bother to shave it. That's what my whole leg hair used to look like, but after I shaved it for the first time it grew back way darker and thicker...I deeply regret ever shaving it😂
I stop at the knees to! I did notice some darker hairs are growing at the back of my thighs tho 😅 So when I will wear a skirt I will shave that little area as well
i started epilating the top of my legs when was younger and super worried about the hair on my legs, but now i don't do it! mine is super fluffy and very fine anyway, therefore i see no point!
Hey, Holly! I'm honored to hear that you used my music as the outro of your video. Very cool :)
When I was a teenager, my body hair was so thick and coarse. I remember that it was always other teenage girls that would be the first to point it out on me. I was more scared about what these girls would say and think of me, I was always judged more by the girls than the boys over my body hair.
Can we touch young women that supporting other women includes allowing them to make their own choices about their body hair rather than being their harshest critics?
Ayyy first! Who else has that giddy feeling when Holly uploads? Thank you for talking about this topic. Honestly, I'm one who really gets insecure about my hair and I'm happy that this topic is one you talked about☺️.
i always get so excited when Holly uploads because she was one of my inspirations for reigniting my love for learning and making notes. the content that she has uploaded recently has been probably the best on CZcams. I am a dancer too and body hair is something that is hard to cope with during dance practice. this is really helpful and it is interesting how to do it the vegan way as well
wow Holly thank you so much for making this video , i really do relate!! Literally just waxed my hair last night for the first time in my life. It is really important to be aware that body hair is absolutely normal and we should feel no pressure about how others feel. I am glad my parents told me that when i first feel worried about my body hair. And thank you again for making this really meaningful discussion!!! Young girls who feel stressed about it need to hear this , no doubt !
Thank you for talking about this! Looking forward to watching ☺️
Hey holly the way u talk nd explain has changed a lot and improved with every video u sound so soothing ND I can hear u all day and learn a lot the way u explain things have made me adapt that similar manner u sound so persuasive 🥰🥰
You go girl. The memories you are bringing back. Hope you are keeping safe and well. 💗
Holly, I relate to you so hard! Thank you for being so real!
You're right.. it's nessesary to talk .. it's helpful for every women.. Thanks Holly..❤️🙂
i really wanted to see a video like this! thank you for answering my prayers x
I have the same struggles too! Thanks for sharing Holly! 💜💜💜💜
love your videos a lot. kept me going during the quarantine! ❤❤❤
This shouldn't be a taboo. I'm glad that nowadays I can see so much more bodypositive content on social media. I was so concern about my body hair, it became one of the reasons my self esteem get below zero, that was dark times for me, but now I am fine and I hope society will be getting more and more understanding and not putting so much presure on anyone when it comes to way we look, think etc. I really look forward to future like that.
Ps: Greetings from Poland. I love watching your videos , and you're so adorable
Thanks you kept me smiling during quarantine
I love your videos xx
As an Indian, the struggle is *real* real. Trust me, I've cried myself to sleep because of this struggle 😂
oh no!!!! i hope this video helped make you feel a bit better about it. body hair really shouldn't be anything to be ashamed of!!!
as an asian,when people around you literally have no body hair,it feels suck to have hair as an asian
Specially when your mom and all other female family members don't have them , I literally inherited everything from my dad and he is hairy so that means I am hairy 😭
OMG random chin hair is so funny, i get them sometimes on my neck as well. AND THIS VIDEO is AMAZING, love love love u so much!!!
it's so random, but definitely an age thing 😅
omg love u so much holly your videos are really inspirational :)
I honestly don't think I've come across a video solely about body hair before! Was great 💗
Waaaa I'm soooo early. Hey Holly love all the way from Philippines 💓💓💓💓
My mum also recommended epilating first for my legs, too. I did half of one leg, cried and gave up haha!
Me too sis me too 😔😆
out of interest, did you ever go back to it . . . ? because i found it painful too, yet it is totally fine now!
@@HollyGabrielle no I didn't 😬 too traumatised from the first time!
@@HollyGabrielle no but I m trying to u know 😒 well after that I shavedy legs and I think now its been almost a year literally a year that I haven't done my legs 😝 n I show just like u said in a video and literally tell people that if u gotta problem them can't help , help urself 😛✌🏾👌
Some tips that made it sooo much easier for me - don’t do it straight after coffee, don’t do it on ur period, best time to do it just after a shower - even still wet is good. And make sure to hold ur skin tight! Upper thighs are hardest for me because it’s not as tight as the lower legs but holding the skin tight helps!
Great video Holly, as always! 💚✌🏼💚
Thanks so much Holly!
My skin is also super sensitive!!! I use a mini set of clippers down there and it trims all the main to the same length and I dont tend to get any ingrown hairs as it's not shaving the hair off at the skin. I use it on my armpits too for the same reason
another video!!! thanks holly
I was very self conscious about body hair too as a dancer! I was lucky enough to be able to afford laser on my leg/armpits/entire bikini as well as electrolysis to get right of what the laser couldn’t get rid off. It is honestly such a nice treat for yourself. It might be expensive but you never have to worry about shaving or being self conscious!
yaiiiyyyy new videooo!
This video really helped me accept my body hair more 😊🙌
The smell of amonia when you mentioned the hair removal cream hit my nose
omg 😭😭😭
I am always excited to watch your videoes,😄I love your videoes holly...😉🤗
Thank you for this video. I have OCD and the current obsession is my body hair and worrying about it being something seriously wrong with me because I've noticed it getting longer recently. I also have a snail trail and am noticing a few hairs on my chin and I am so self conscious of them
Loved this video thanks Holly am also a very hairy girl and have hair in all the places you’ve mentioned even on my chin rip 😂😭
I'm missing holly's university vlog and routine
i loved uni too, but life moves on and there are bigger adventures ahead 😉
Trueeee 😘💕 love from India 🙏
Can 100% relate. I’d shave my legs and an hour later there is stubble. Shaving was the death of me in all areas so I started waxing at a salon and that was a game changer except I hated waited for it to grow long enough to wax again. Eventually have saved up and doing laser now and THAT is a game changer. My hair life has forever been changed.
Facial/body hair is one of my biggest insecurities fr 😭😭😭
The random chin hairs are an aging thing! I'm nearly 23 and I have one that sprouts so quickly right under my chin that I need to deal with at least twice a month. I've named it Reginald loll, might as well make a joke out of it! Love you!
that name wow 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I haven't removed or shaved my body hair in over 4 (maybe 5?) years, just cut them shorter where and when I feel like it ;) I love it, so much time, money and pain saved, also my skin is very grateful
Congrats on 300k!
thanks!
Girl!! Jessie B on CZcams has so many videos on these kind of subjects and she’s been a game changer! Exfoliate down there in the shower and open your pores up with hot water and then use olive oil! It sounds crazy but shave with the grain and omg it’s so smooth and I’ve never had an ingrown hair!
I used veet the first time I wanted to get rid of leg hair. Loved it in the begining. But absolutely hate it now.😂😂 I've been shaving for dancing for the past 8 years (and I still use the cheap disposable razors) I don't think I'll be changing soon
Holly love you❤❤❤❤❤ u r an inspiration
Thank you Holly!
yes holly you gave me confidence......
Oh my gosh Veet! My mum was against shaving too, and we used Veet. Oh my gosh I remember stinging myself so many times. I stopped at like 15. I recently start using it again on my legs, I think it helps it feel more smooth!
Hey Holly !! I am really waiting for a video related to studying as we need some motivation for our studies . Hope you would make such video .
Thank you ☺️
Waiting.....
I've just realized how similar our "hair removal habits" are haha, and yes the down there as you called it is still the most complicated thing to do for me as I epilate my legs and underarms but I just find it way toooo painful to epilate there (even though i actually have a high pain tolerance). I tried waxing but i can't do it propoerly myself and it costs too much to have it done all the time since my hair grows super fast so i just end up shaving but even then i can still see black dots which is very annoying
Hi Holly, have a good day!
I'd totally recommend investing in laser (but not IPL, it isn't really effective), ngl it can be a bit painful from time to time but it's so worth it. Thank you so much for addressing the 'taboo' of body hair, it's so necessary! :)
Could feel you😩💗
You don`t even know how much I love you for this video :):):)
i really recommend a post shave balm for down there!! the femfresh one is really good and i think it’s available at boots. im sure it would work for underarms or wherever you’re prone to ingrowns and rashes :)
I also had rash, razor burn down there untill I start shaving in the direction my hair grows. Never Shave the opposite direction of your hair that will give u rash and burn. Wet your skin really well,Try to shave after end of the shower ❤ use body scrub before shaving and use Aloevera gel or coconut oil as shaving cream, make your skin as lubricated as possible so that the razor glides really well, after shaving moisturize with Aloevera gel and don't wear tight clothes for at least 24 to 48 hours ❤ no panties I mean 😂 Just wear loose Pajamas ☺ I hope it helps ❤
i really need to stop making it a 2 minute job 🙈😭
omg the chin hair!! i just turned 21 and i noticed a have a couple 😂
Hey Holly! I would love to hear your opinion on menstrual cups and other alternatives to tampons/pads. Have you already made a video about them?
Rach Rrgg from previous comments, it seems like holly isn’t yet comfortable talking about periods, which is fine ofc :)
You should apply aloevera gel (the natural one)before and after shaving. It helps a lot in my opinion
Hey holly I hope you’re ok you are amazing xx
Hi holly nice video
same girl, its intresting because as an Arabian girl i always saw foreigners lucky turns out we are the same hhhhh , i'd say wax down there once a month after ur period is the best option , but do it at a salon because it's hard and it'll thin out and get better
Laser is the greatest thing ever. It literally changed my live. I've always had very thick and black hairs, and now I can completely forgot about It!
so what happened after? the hair don't grow back?
sitting here epilating my legs (which I haven't done in weeks because quarantine xD) and listening to Holly say it's fine to keep it on xD
Where I live the most common form of hair removal is waxing and that's what I do almost all the time, on my legs and bikini area! Usually I'll go to a beautician salon and when I can't go I wax at home (although it's harder to do on yourself) 😛 Recently I have tried the waxing method with sugar (sugaring?) which is better for sensitive skin as it uses natural ingredients and is less drying than normal wax. It also thins out the hair after doing it a couple of times, which is great! For my underarms I just can't be bothered and use a razor with some aloe vera or soap 😂 I've always been scared of epilators!! 😂
I always got rash and it was awful. After I started using COCONUT OIL as I shave it was a game changer especially down there. So important to help each other with these things. ☺️☺️
Some more food videos too pleeeease!
Hi holly, first of all, please don't use laser or ipl on your mole! you should use a white pencil to cover them and any dark spots on your skin. it's not recommended at all, please be careful. I decided to get laser done to remove hair on my legs, armpits, and bikini area. I found an amazing place, where you don't have to pay for all the treatment in advance, you pay as you go, 35euro for each "area", and in less than 10 appointments I'm left with 10% or less of hair. amazing. also struggled a lot with red bumps, rushes, my hair grows so fast if I use a razor. it is a lot of money, but for me it was really important, it made me feel good and confident.
do you epilate in the shower, like when your skin is wet, or dry? I heard it's better to do it in the shower but I feel like I can spot the individual hairs a lot better if my skin is dry...
Don’t ever feel like you have to shave or remove any of your body hair or hair down there for men. Good guys will not make you feel bad for your natural hair that they have as well. I have never felt more free since I have stopped shaving. I am so much happier in a relationship without awkwardly shaving my hair down there because I felt that guys would think I was gross. Not going to lie men and women will both make comments about your hair saying it’s really weird that you don’t shave, its gross or it’s not pretty or lady like, but dismantling the standards that society and men have put on our bodies is really important for us and the next generation of young woman who have to deal with the amount of beauty standards there are now.
Thank you
hi from Malaysia ❤
As someone with pale skin and very dark hair....gosh!I was just thinking the other day on how many things I've missed out because of it: going to the swimming pool on a short time notice?oh no, the body hair is too much to deal with. Joining swimming lessons?oh god, no! How stupid is this? So, thanks Holly for your openness!we need to get this conversation going!
please make another real time study with me....
They were really helpful...Love from BANGLADESH❤❤
My legs look exact the same ahhaha👍🏼
I watched Emily's video on shaving, and she says she uses the razor head on her epilator to shave her downstairs. Maybe ask her for some tips? I actually got an electric razor for my bikini line after watching Emily's video as, like you, that area is super sensitive and I always have bumps and miss bits. The electric razor isn't as efficient but downstairs does fell less attacked!
i need to actually take em's advice 😂
In 6th grade the older girls were so mean to me in the bathroom (no adults around), telling me my legs looked like a forest and why was I so gross for not shaving. I wanted to but wasn’t allowed...and it made me so incredibly self conscious. Side note: I also have horrible bumps in my bikini area with any kind of hair removal and nothing helps. Don’t tell me what to try, I’ve tried it all - laser seems like the way to go!
i dont shave because i dont need to i only shave my face because it keeps it smooth and i dont get spots doing it ,
love you holly x
also its natural to have body hair lol but i do dye my hair on my head though
Rinse with super cold water after shaving your bikini line, it really works for me. It's not the most pleasant thing in the world, but I get no redness or bumps afterwards. Also use LOTS of shaving cream and just take your time.
I've had laser hair removal done and it is worth the investment! You will need at least 8 sessions on all body parts for permanent results. If you do try it, I recommend asking the nurse/technician to apply numbing cream on the bikini area and armpits and leaving it on for a while before lasering them (they hurt more than other areas). You can only shave throughout the laser treatment period (no waxing, epilating, plucking, threading, etc.). Aftercare is also important - moisturize with alcohol-free, fragrance-free lotion. I also had my facial, abdominal, and back hair treated by a "soft-light" machine that is lighter than laser and leaves the hair bleached. It is only effective until the next shave, so not really worth it (in my opinion!). Alternatively, IPL machines that can be used at home are also effective for facial, abdominal, and back hair. Otherwise, I just bleach them like most people do with arm hair. Finally, as I don't like to thread or pluck my facial hair, I use a women's facial razor that I get from beauty stores like The Face Shop, The Body Shop, etc. - very hygienic and quick, and the hair does not grow back thicker.
I hope this helps! Stay safe xx
From india...
I m ur huge fan...U really motivate me....
Pls reply me hi....,😍😍😍
Hi, Holly. I advise you to use the tool which is called IPL Cooling Hair Removal Device. I tried it before. It's very helpful.
A great interesting Video i wish you all the best 👍😃
I never understood why uk and us (from what I've seen on the internet) seem to gravitate towards shaving. Waxing is way easier, lasts longer and is more efficient. I personally prefer waxing because I sweat less and helps me control body odours better during hight intensity workouts. Also when I use body cream it absorbs better and is less sticky. If you get bumps and ingrown hair, I would suggest scrubbing the area 24-48 hours before doing anything :)
Have you ever tried the product "Tend Skin"? It really really helped me with razor bumps under my arms and bikini line. It just helps to keep bacteria out of your freshly shaved pores and prevent ingrowns! also waxing isn't that bad once you get over the awk lololol
I wish such videos existed when I was a teen
Holly you should try using the razor head of the epilator for your bikini area, the clear safety guard comes off and you can just use it like an electric razor, it is wayyy less irritating than a manual razor x
Good video
You are so true, veet is a nightmare 🤣🤦♀️✋
I agree with you 😆
I ligit haven't shaved my legs through out quarentine. Like no one is gonna see me so who cares haha love you Holly xx
E X A C T L Y 🤷🏻♀️
3rd Love from India ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your sister Emily also did this type of Vedio... Anyway I like two of your vedios 😁
4:56 that sound still terrifies me
I didn't remove my leg and arm hair for 2 or 3 years bc I still remember the pain 😭😷
Try using a cheap conditioner when you’re shaving. Razor glides better and reduces irritation
HOLLY try putting conditioner on your bikini like before shaving it helps smooth it out. AND shave at the end of your shower after cleaning down there
Or use coconut oil!
