This might be weird, but... Knuckle Hair

AlexisM082, on June 25, 2015 at 6:04 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 32

So I'm Italian.. And I have hair. Fine hair, but yes... I have hair. On my knuckles... And my toes. It bothers the hell out of me and I usually quietly wax them every 2 or 3 months when I start to pull on them. There's maybe like... 5 or 6 hairs on my knuckles. Am I the only one who plans on waxing their knuckles/toes before the wedding or any pictures happen? Today has been super weird... I figured I'd just add to it. I'm totaly not joking either... Sadly.

    I have a beauty spot in the middle of the back of my hand and the one hair growing through it is always very dark, I always pluck it out when it's long enough.

    My 25% italian genes luckily only give me hair on my big toes and kind of down the line on my feet. I shave those Smiley smile

    Christine, you are not crazy. A persian friend of mine did hair threading (sp?) on her arms when we were in highschool already.

    Yea, I have some hair on my big toes. Every now and then when I actually see it and think that I should be a cave man I just shave it. Now, that I'm looking I have some hair on my fingers, but there isn't that much and must be light because I had to have my hand at the right angle to see.

    I do the feet/toes thing too. I'm mostly concerned about if I should wax my forearms I feel like they are super hairy/ the hair is long

    I used to shave my arms back in the day... Every time I'd cut my elbows and I stopped after a year or so. I got lucky the hair never grew back thick and dark. I was thinking about waxing those too, but FH looks at me like I'm nuts when I talk to him about waxing. He let me wax the top of his back once... Never again LOL

    I don't think it is weird, I shave my big toes (I'm Greek, so i feel you Italian ladies, we're in the same boat). I hadn't thought about my knuckles, they aren't noticeable, but there will some close up pictures of your fingers on the wedding day. If you had your epics already, look at those and see if you can notice it or not and make your decision based on that. Or just go with it, shouldn't be a big deal. Plus guys never notice things like that anyway, unless you are rocking some gorilla arm hair, they won't notice.

    Most of my body hair is super blond (my eyebrows, my eyelashes, the hair on my arms and legs), but I was blessed with (thankfully blond) trail of hair from my bellybutton to the end of my belly. And it drives me crazy. I usually pluck them out every couple of months, but I will probably wax it for the wedding (I get brazillians every 4-6 weeks, but I always forget about the little tummy trail!).

    I have a little hair on my toes and my fingers too. I will probably get my toes waxed for the wedding, too.

    HAHAHA! I waxed my knuckles before the engagement pictures and there were a few up close shots... FH tried to get a smudge off the side of my face once... Then he realized it was my "peach fuzz" smooshed together in one spot making a dark shadow. An old coworker said her daughter gets her facial hair all threaded off too.. That just sounds painful.

    I'm also italian and have the same problem. I shave every couple weeks when I notice them. FH caught me shaving my toes and he was shocked I even had to since he had never seen the hair.

    I have hair on my knuckles and toes (light in color) I leave them...it's not noticeable. I'll clean it up when pictures will be focused on my hand. Also have hair on my upper lip that I get rid of...and lower back hair that I leave.

    No shame. Everyone has hair.

    I have been waxing since I was about 12, started shaving when I went to high school, started working at a cosmetic medical clinic and was introduced to my life saver...laser hair removal!

    I was thinking about looking into laser hair removal, but honestly... I'm a wussy and afraid it won't work for some reason....
