You’ve got questions; we’ve got answers! Each week on Help A Reader Out, we’ll be taking your fashion and beauty troubles to turn them into informative guides. Shaving is my preferred method of hair removal, but I keep getting ingrown hairs on my legs (and elsewhere, ahhhhem). What’s the best way to prevent ingrown hair before it starts? Ouch! An ingrown hair happens when a hair curls backward or sideways into the skin rather than out the way it’s supposed to. Not only are these quite unpleasant, they can also result in potentially harmful conditions such as folliculitis, wherein the hair follicle…

My pubic hair choices have gone back and forth over time quite a bit. (This may seem like a TMI statement, but we are a site that covers beauty, and part of beauty is hair, and you knew what you were getting yourself into when you clicked on this article, man.) When I was a teenager, I used to shave all my pubic hair off because that’s what I assumed adults did, and I really wanted to speed up that process, but it was itchy and uncomfortable. As I got older, my removal levels waned and waxed–pun semi-intended–from being full-on, IDGAF status…

Greetings, readers. I’m going on vacation for my birthday, and I want to get a Brazilian wax, but I’m terrified. I have gotten two waxes on my nether region. Well, three, if you count the time, I unsuccessfully tried to wax myself (and sort of four, if you count, when I literally plucked out all the hair in eighth grade due to shame). They were unpleasant, as waxes tend to be. I regularly wax my lip and eyebrows, as the aesthetic is pleasing to me, and I prefer to have a smooth upper lip and arched brow. But waxing a small…

According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the word “classy” is defined as the following: “Classy” is usually meant to be a compliment. When people refer to a person as classy, it usually means they’re wearing something fashionable and look conservatively nice or that they have some form of high moral standards. Sometimes, it’s regarding a particular outfit–for example, “the dress she wore to the gala made her look classy.” Other times, it’s regarding a situation, such as “he dealt with his poker loss in a classy way without complaint or aggravation.” Often, people use it to refer to people they find socially acceptable…

These celebrity couples showed their love by getting tattoos. Some of the relationships didn’t last but the WTF body ink did. Forget about chocolates, roses, jewelry, and cheesy cards; nothing says “true love” like permanent body modification. Why write a poem for someone when you can get a tattoo of them of your body? It’s hard to find a gift that is more unique than that. I suppose that is what these celebs were thinking when they got inked. They wanted to show their partner how much they meant to them and thought getting a tattoo of their name or face was the best way to…

Don’t get rid of a tattoo just because your mom doesn’t like it. Do get rid of a tattoo if one of these situations applies. A young British man is in the news this week for getting a large chest tattoo removed because his mother hated it. Admittedly, it was a pretty cringeworthy tattoo, but “my mom doesn’t like it” is not a good reason to get rid of a tattoo. There are some good reasons to get rid of a tattoo, like these: (Related: Love Them or Leave Them? Tiny Tattoo Design Ideas) 1. It’s a tattoo honoring a celebrity who does…
