Surveys
indicate that 80% of women and over 50% of men haveunwanted hair in
various body areas. Much of this unwanted hair is genetic, but
sometimes it is the result of other causes, for example,
testosterone treatments. Humans have lost most of their body fur
over the past few millions of years. Today, many still seek the
"longest-lasting," "least painful," and "least expensive" methods
for getting rid of unwanted hair. Hair removal salons report that
men are increasingly interested in hair removal and that their male
clientele ranges between 35% and 60% today. Despite changes in the
past 20 years in attitudes toward many other types of body changes,
attitudes toward body hair remain rigid. A recent study asked
college students to view videotapes of a woman emerging from a
swimming pool and drying herself. In one videotape, the woman had
more body hair. In the other, she had shaved. Both male and female
students considered the woman with more body hair as less
intelligent, less sociable, and less happy than the same woman as
she appeared after shaving. The students also thought of the
unshaven woman as more aggressive and strong, and, in essence, they
saw her as less feminine. Men commonly want hair removed from
between the eyebrows, around the outside of the ears, and the
shoulders, and also, they sometimes want smooth bodies to cut down
on wind resistance during sports. Male cyclists and swimmers want
hair removed to increase their competitive speed. Women commonly
want to remove facial hair on the lip, chin, eyebrows, neck, bikini
line, abdomen, breasts, forearms, and underarms. Many muscle
builders (a rapidly growing sport) favor hairlessness for
competitions and, therefore, carefully shave, depilate, and wax
their bodies to seek the perfect body image. In Northern
California, a substantial group of transsexuals are highly
interested in obtaining degrees of hairlessness in various body
areas.
