yes. they can take hair off your arms too. Plus they will conclude that you bleached and cut your hair to circumvent drug testing.

It depends on how close you are to them. I myself have some unwanted facial hair, and being a female, I had all my best friends suggest waxing, bleaching, whatever. It hurt me the first time said something to me, but only because I thought she was trying to tell me she was ashamed to be seen with me if I had my hair up in a pony tail. Try it out if you want, but don't make it about you. Try saying you only brought it up to save her/him the embarrassment later. Personally, I never did anything about my manly side burns. Mainly because they aren't as bad as some people made it out to be. Although the waxing is still under debate. And the fact that I am so sick of society telling ME what is wrong with ME instead of taking a look in the mirror. Anyways, Good luck, and remember not to let it sound like you are ashamed of this person. =)

you raise an interesting question on what exactly is the nature of a woman covering ones hair in Jewish law.\n\nfirst off their are authorities that say that a wig is not good enough and their are many women that cover their hair in a smiler fashion that Muslim women do. \n\nbut their are people that say a wig is good enough. The reason for that is that the covering of ones hair is not exactly for the purpose of keeping men's temptation at bay, but so that her husband is the only man that sees her natural hair. This add's to the itemency of their relationship and in that case a wig is perfectly permissible.

No. In many religions it was required for an older girl or woman to keep her hair at least partially covered. With a hat, scarf, mantilla, or even a paper towel in a pinch.\nA woman's hair was looked upon as a "crowning glory" for her, and it was a simple gesture of humility and modesty for her to wear something on her head.\nThe same wasn't thought about men's hair, so men removed their hats as a show of respect.\nIt's as simple as that. Being an older woman, the Queen probably is just sticking with the old traditions.

This practice of shaving or clipping the hair is affirmed by the Qur'an, the Sunnah of the Prophet, and the consensus of the Muslim scholars.\n\nAlmighty Allah says, (Truly did Allah fulfil the vision for His Messenger: ye shall enter the Sacred Mosque, if Allah wills, with minds secure, heads shaved, hair cut short, and without fear.) (Al-Fath 48:27)\n\nBoth Al-Bukhari and Muslim quote the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as saying, "May Allah bless those who shaved (their head during Hajj)." The Companions asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what about those who cut their hair short?" Thereupon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "May Allah bless those who shaved." They repeated their question the third time, and again the Prophet said, "May Allah bless those who shaved." When they asked him for the fourth time, "O Messenger of Allah, what about those who clip their hair short?" He said, "And (may Allah bless) those who clip their hair short.”\n\nShaving here means removing hair of the head with a razor, etc., or plucking them out. It suffices one, however, to remove only as many as three hairs. And cutting the hair short means cutting the length of one fingertip of the head's hair.\n\nHowever, the issue of which one is obligatory, between shaving or cutting hair short, is controversial among jurists. Most scholars hold that shaving or cutting the hair short is obligatory, and one failing to do so is to slaughter an animal in order to atone for this omission. According to the Shafi`i school, it is an integral part of Hajj.

What do u mean by Arabians? Do u mean Arabs? Also in Islam shaking hand is forbidden for men and women who are not first family members such as brother or sister or uncle or aunt.. But that doesn't mean mistrust. That is just a religious thing.

Yes we grow hair down there and some girls remove it, some dont. there are many ways to remove it. The more common ones are- cutting/trimming, shaving, sugaring, waxing, depilation.

It's a cultural thing.  The US is the odd one on women shaving.  Today alot of the european women don't shave their underarms or legs.  But more are doing it.  It was a practice that did start in the US but no-one knows why it did.\n\nIt's your wifes decition entirely whether or not she does.  Don't bully her into doing what you like.

My hairless lower legs, above the ankle(see prior answer on this subject) could/should be in a Shrine, or on a Shriner take your pick. People would most likely make a yearly pilgrimage to see them, it would cause them to reflect on their own fortunes with leg hair.

according to the islamic law you are not supposed to shave your beard, and genetically they tend to have a lot of facial hair as well.

I love how some Muslims say, "They are not forced to wear them, they wear them by choice." But what happens to the women who choose NOT to wear them? They get beaten with sticks... it's no wonder they all "choose" to wear them. And don't even try to tell me I'm wrong, I've seen it with my own eyes in Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and even Jordan and Egypt. Aparently Arab men cannot control their lustful thoughts if even a strand of hair is poking out where they can see it.

My opinion, based on 4 years of political science degree:  Islam, some religions practiced in India (don't know if it's Hinduism or Buddhism that practices the below unspeakables) and some religions in Africa.  In some nations that practice Islam, it is legal to kill a woman in your family if she dishonors you family.  It is called an "Honor Killing".  In India, the practice of "Bride Burning" is not uncommon and happens when the groom is offended by the worth of the dowry (like a wedding gift for marrying someone's daughter) - he or his kin will sometimes catch the Bride and light her on fire.  In many Arabic, Indian and African societies (I'm not sure if these are religious phenomenons or are cultural), the practice of Female Circumcision or Female Genital Mutilation is widely practiced.  When the female reaches the age of maturity (often around 11-14) some leader cuts of her labia and clitoris so she will not be able to experience sexual pleasure.  They often do not use pain killers and some even die when they bleed to death.  Hard to believe but yes, this is all true.  Do some researching.

At first i thought not to answer this question , as it seemed stupid and disgracing.\nBut some little kid might come over this page some day and might not get all the perspectives . So here it is :\nThere is no concept of "sin" in Sikhism. But there is a concept of "rehit" or "procedure" and following that Sikhs don't cut "any" of their hair. You see Mother Nature gives us the hair , the more you cut the faster grows and the harder it becomes. So you are caught in a cycle of cutting (because the new hair that comes is sharp at the edges and harder than the older one ) . If you would have noticed the first hair on babies are so soft and they are meant to be like that for ever by mother nature . \n\nI hope that answers the pubic part of the question also.

thats ok, what you are seeing are the hairs which are going to peep out of your skin in a few days.\n\nWhile there is nothing wrong with shaving off hair from the underarm region, the underarm region does tend to get darker especially with Indian women, since they have black or brown hair. This hair is not pulled out from the roots, and so it is often visible below the skin even after shaving, especially if you are light-skinned. If you have not had any problems with shaving your underarms, and if your armpits have not darkened, you can continue shaving them\n\nI highly recommend waxing or if you cant stand the idea of that, try shaving your underarms in different directions?  The hairs all grow in different directons.\n\nGood Luck!!!

Ew!\n\nuhm, I wouldn't care. What kind of parents say you can't shave. If it was a matter of religion they would have told her. Buy her some razors and shaving cream. Better yet, Nads or Nair since she has a lot of hair on her.(the wipe off kind not the wa so it doesn't hurt.)
