A Hairy Story

Hair is one of the beauty things that we're most concerned about. We get the hair on top of our heads styled and colored. We get the hair on our bodies waxed and shaved. And when we find ourselves having an embarassing hair problem, we're usually pretty quick to take care of it. Whether it's excess facial hair on women or not enough head hair on men, we spend a lot of time thinking about ways to take care of the problem. It's no surprise then that laser hair removal is one of the most popular treatments at skin rejuvenation doctors' offices. People don't want unsightly hair growing on certain parts of their body. And they don't want to have to shave or wax all of the time to get rid of it. Both facial hair and body hair can be removed through these treatments - something many people are interested in. At the other end of the spectrum are people who want more hair. Baldness is a self-esteem concern for men (and some women) and many are hoping that solutions will be found to this problem. A startup company in Boston is working on tests with hair follicles to try to find answers that will satisfy everyone. Question of the Day: What hair do you have that bothers you? photo link
