    Lack of Hair Growth

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Hi Ladies! I have a bit of a silly question. I have recently noticed that the hair on my legs isn't growing as fast as it once was. I am 29 yrs old...is it normal to see a slow down in hair growth? I have been working my body a lot harder this summer than ever before. Would that cause the lack of hair growth?

    I'm pretty sure it is normal - I have noticed that same thing for me and I am now 47

    My wonderful grandmother used to tease me when I was around 18, because she no longer needed to shave her legs and I did.
    She said the disadvantage was she seemed to have more hair on her face though

    My ma-in-law is now finding the same thing - she's in her mid-60s and almost no hair on her legs - and less armpit hair too.


    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    Wait until you hit 40---all kinds of lovely things in store for you. For example, you'll get chin hairs and the ultimate indignity, your "close up" vision will get bad, making it hard to see them well enough to pluck them out. LOL

    I've never had much hair on my legs but as I've gotten older, I've noticed that there's even less. I see that as one of the good things about getting older.

    If your old avatar has a grumpy expression from PMS *and* hotflash nightsweats, then it might just be an actual picture of MEEEEEEEE.

    Yeah, as soon as you hit 18 it's pretty much all downhill and I don't mean that in a good cycling way.
