Hey Tricia*
Well, hair problems are big problems! But they are also easy to solve. Shaving is one method that can get rid of the unsightful things but it is only temporary. If you do shave your hair on your arms or stomach or anywhere else, it is only a MYTH that it will grow back thicker. However the hair you might have on your stomach could be bleached so when it does grow back it might be a bit darker but it won't be thicker. If you plan on shaving your stomach you might have to do it every week to keep the hair off, kind of like your legs.
Another method that might be more practical, but is more painful, is waxing. Waxing just right above and below your belly button will keep those hairs away for up to 6 weeks! So thats less time for you to worry about them. Waxing is also better because it takes the whole hair follicle out whereas shaving only cuts it. Each method is useful and won't make your hair grow back thicker. So you can go tell your friends that they are wrong because ADVICE gurl told you so! loL*
Hope this helps~

Question: i was wondering if you could help me.. i shave my legs and the hair always comes back so quickly and more prickly and there al bumpy and stuff and i was wondering what could i use to keep them smoother and softer?? please help and thank u dealry for your time!
Hey Megan,
Well like we talked about on our advice page, dealing with hair can be annoying and sometimes painful, but it all depends on what you are willing to do. K, so first off if you want to change the problem from having the hair come back quickly you can try Jergens "SHAVE MINIMIZER" its a special lotion you use everyday after the shower or after you shave and after about 8 weeks you will notice that you don't have to shave so often (I've tried it and it works!). You can buy this at your local drug store. If you really hate shaving, you can resort to waxing which is a lot more painful and costly. However, waxing does have its upsides. Waxing can last up to 6 weeks and being hairless that long can be worth it! I don't advise you trying to wax yourself though, because I have tried and its very difficult so go to a salon to get it done. If you simply want to get rid of the bumps and still shave, try switching the shaving cream you are using and go for a brand that is labeled "SENSITIVE SKIN", and it will definitely reduce the bumps, also make sure you are using enough shaving cream --do not use soap! Because that could also be the problem...hope this helps if you have any other questions feel free to ask!

Question: my friend and i set up her bf to see if he would pick up another girl in his car and so she made me call him and ask him if he would pick me up, and he said yes. well she got really mad and they got into a fight and all that good stuff, but now i am in the middle and she wont return my phone calls and he was mad at me for some reason. i didnt do anything wrong but i plan on talking to her about it , should i just stop talking to her and leave her business alone even when she asks me to help? this has happened other times i think i should just never call her agian , because it always seems that she makes me out as the bad guy when she put me up to it. what should i do?
Hey Amy,
Well it seems that you have quite a big mess in your hands! But I totally agree with you in the fact that no blame should be placed on you. First of all you were just simply being the good friend who helped her out to see if her boyfriend was faithful. What I would like to know is why does she hate YOU and not her BOYFRIEND? I think she might be forgetting that he would have cheated on her!! Why is she so upset over a guy that obviously doesn't like her that much to stay faithful? I think the best thing for you to do is write her a letter if she's not returning your phonecalls, just flat out say how you feel and how you don't like the way she's treating you especially since this isn't the first time it has happened. If she apologizes I think everyone deserves another chance, but a real friend would not make someone like yourself, who was only trying to help- to be the bad guy! Then try asking yourself these questions:
Is this person worth giving another chance?
Do I enjoy being friends with this person?
How does this person make me feel?
If all these responses are positive than definitely continue being friends, but if it is negative than maybe not calling her ever again will make her realise what a great friend she lost?
Hope this helps, if you need any more advice feel free to ask!
Good luck!

Dear Advice gurl,
I've never kissed a guy before and I want to kiss my new boyfriend but I'm scared! What should I do?
Leanne,
Well I think you have to ask yourself basically are you ready to have your first kiss, don't feel pressured to want to do it because all your other friends have. It sounds like you are pretty anxious about it so I definitely think you should go for it. There's always going to be a first time for everything! Just make sure it's at the right time and place because a first kiss is kind of memorable. Don't be shy and shoot for it gurl there is nothing holding you back! And you never know, he might want it just as bad and suprise you with one sooner or later, but don't worry because kissing takes practise, the more you do it the better you get! Good luck!
