Hey you! ๐
Have you ever stood in front of the mirror, staring at your body hair (you know, THAT one), wondering, "What the hell do I do with this mess?" Welcome to the club!
Seriously, in 2024, it's crazy that we're still worrying about this. Like, we're sending rockets to Mars, we have phones that do crazy things, but as soon as we talk about our intimate hair, everyone becomes more uptight than a family dinner where Aunt Monique asks "so, still single?"
Okay, spoiler alert: this article is not going to tell you what to do with your hair. Nope. At Billy, we're more of a "do what you like" team. Want to keep the Amazon jungle? Great. Prefer the perfectly mowed lawn look? Great. Change your mind depending on the day of the week? Even better!
Because let's be honest for two seconds: who has never had this ultra awkward conversation with their date like "uh... so... hair... how to say..." *moment of intense silence* ๐
The good news? In 2024, the headaches are over! Body hair (or lack thereof) is no longer something shameful that we hide away like those old Pokรฉmon underpants at the bottom of the drawer. It has become a way to express who we are, like a haircut or a pair of sneakers.
So fasten your seatbelt, we're going to talk about hair, styles, dating and self-confidence. And I promise, you're going to love the journey! ๐
PS: If you're reading this on the toilet (we all know that's where you read the best articles), take the opportunity to take a look at your hairs and say "you know what guys? Maybe we'll try something new..."
What do you mean? Want to know more? Scroll down, we have lots of things to talk about! ๐
I. The hairs are rebelling (and that's a good thing) ๐ค
Flashback: a few years ago, having body hair was as taboo as farting on a first date. Ads showed us bodies as smooth as dolphins, and admitting that we had body hair was riskier than telling our grandmother that we hated her stew.
The Great Escape
But BOOM! Social media arrived, and there... total revolution!
One day, someone stood up and said "you know what? Fuck the dictates". And as if by magic, the likes exploded. From Julia who embraces her natural armpits to Marc who proudly shows off his hairy back on Insta, modern heroes don't wear capes, but hair!
Have you noticed? Even influencers are getting into it. No need to Photoshop their photos to look like wax Greek statues. The trend? Being REAL, damn it! And that changes everything.
The "I do what I want" team
Quick confession: the other day, I was scrolling through TikTok (yes, instead of working, shame on me), and I came across a video of a girl talking about her disastrous date. The guy says "you could have shaved before coming". His response? "You could have shut up before talking". QUEEN! ๐
And she's not alone! The hashtag #PoilsLibres is exploding with hilarious stories:
- This girl who scared off a date by telling him she braided his hair
- This guy who assumes his creative motives in improbable places
- This person who launched a "hair growth" version of the "advance calendar"
That's the real revolution: we went from "how do I hide that?" to "look how much I don't give a damn!" And honestly? It's way more fun that way!
So yes, there are still Kevins who think they have a say in other people's hair. But you know what? In 2024, the only opinion that matters about your hair is yours (and maybe that of your cat who looks at you strangely when you get ready in the morning).
Pro tip: next time someone comments on your body hair, just reply "sorry, my body hair has its own Instagram account now, check with their manager". ๐
Okay, now that we've freed the hair from its chains, let's talk about the styles that are going to be hot in 2025? ๐
The 2024 Styles Menu: A la Carte! ๐ฝ๏ธ
Come on, sit back, grab your favorite smoothie, and let me introduce you to the 2024 style menu. It's just like a restaurant, except here, there's no extra sauce.
The classics revisited
The convinced naturist ๐ณ
โLet them live their best lifeโ is the motto. Modern version of hippie, but with an iPhone. You let nature do its thing while you stream series on Netflix. Bonus: saves time AND money. Double win!
The Mad Sculptor ๐จ
Do you know Michelangelo? Same here, but hairy version. These modern artists transform their bodies into works of art. Hearts, lightning bolts, initials... I even saw someone make a QR code (which really worked!). Well, you have to be motivated anyway, it's not the same level as drawing dicks on notebooks in high school.
The minimalist ๐ฟ
The motto? "Less is more". You just keep what you need, where you need it. It's the "I look like I calculated everything when in reality I just stopped when I got tired of it" kind of thing.
New Trends That Are Rocking
The "weather" style ๐ก๏ธ
- In summer: shorter than a series episode
- In winter: fuller than Santa's beard
- Mid-season: "we'll see what happens"
This is the perfect style for the indecisive who wants an excuse to change it up all the time. "Sorry, my hair follows the weather, it's actually eco-friendly."
Total freestyle ๐ธ
Monday? All shaved. Tuesday? Some artistic tufts. Wednesday? The jungle. Thursday? "Uh... we'll see tomorrow."
This is the ultimate "I'm living my best life" style. Bonus: no one can predict what you'll look like, not even you.
Fun patterns ๐จ
2024 is the year we embrace the madness:
- The "lightning" style for Harry Potter fans
- The heart for romantics (or not)
- The mullet haircut (business in front, party in the back)
- The "I tried something but I don't really know what it is"
Pro tip: if you mess up your pattern, just say it's abstract art. No one will be able to contradict you.
The golden rule? There are no rules! It's like ordering a pizza: you put whatever YOU want on it (hmm, maybe not pineapple...).
And remember: the best style is the one that makes you feel as comfortable as you do in your pajamas watching Netflix on a Sunday night. Whether you're team "counting every hair" or "roughly in this area," as long as YOU're into it, it's the right style.
Next up: how to wear your style on a date without losing your dignity (or almost)! Ready? ๐
Dating Game: Hair Enters the Game ๐
Okay, let's talk dating and body hair. That legendary combo that's caused more awkward moments than all the times you called a teacher "mom" at school.
The new rules of the game
The Hairy Conversation
No need to hide your hair like it's your browsing history! Here are some real-life (and approved) situations:
๐ญ Scene 1:
- Your date: "And... you... finally... hair-wise..."
- You: "Ah! Have you seen my special creative hair Insta? I have 3 followers!"
- Awkward silence
- You: "I'm kidding, relax, it's 2024!"
๐ญ Scene 2:
- Your date notices that you've changed your style.
- You: "Yeah, I was inspired by Game of Thrones. Winter is coming, all that..."
- Both burst out laughing
- The waiter who passes by: "Anyone want dessert?"
Pro tip: Humor is the best way to defuse an awkward situation. If you can't be smooth, be funny!
Stories that do good
- Alice who matched with someone THANKS to her Tinder bio mentioning "team hairs free"
- Kevin who assumes his style "I mow when I remember" and who is a hit
- Sam who turned an awkward moment into a great night out: "Wait until you see my tattoo hidden in the forest!"
Mission: to be comfortable in your own skin
The Hairy Warrior's Survival Kit
- 1 dose of self-confidence
- 2 spoons of humor
- 1 pinch of "totally don't care"
- And Billy in your bathroom (because you have to get ready anyway)
The perfect playlist for your grooming session
To get you in the mood before a date:
- "I'm sexy and I know it" (even if you messed up your haircut)
- "Hair" by Lady Gaga (for irony)
- โLet it growโ from Frozen (hair version)
- "Can't touch this" (for areas to avoid)
Real survival tips
- If someone judges you on your body hair, tell yourself that they probably have posters of Justin Bieber 2009 in their bedroom.
- The best time to talk about hair? When YOU feel like it
- If your date is not cool with your style, next! Life is too short for people who judge your hair
FACT: The best love stories begin when you stop worrying about these kinds of details.
And at worst, remember: there are 7 billion humans on Earth. If someone doesn't like your style, there's bound to be someone else who will love your hair creativity!
Next: How to become a lawnmower pro without ending up in the emergency room (yes, it's possible)! ๐
The Pro's Guide to Lawn Mowers ๐
Okay, now that we're buddies, let's talk tech. How do you become a hair ninja without turning your bathroom into a crime scene?
Basic Moves
How to Avoid the โOopsโ Moment
- Rule #1: NEVER run with a lawnmower (even if you're late for your date)
- Rule #2: The light is your friend. Like, REALLY your friend. billy has a built-in LED because we know you can shave in the dark
- Rule #3: Start with the longest length. You can always go shorter, but hair transplants aren't perfected yet.
Sensitive areas (aka โmined territoryโ)
- Take it EASY on where you want to have kids someday
- If you hear "ouch", you've gone too far (geographically speaking)
- The famous groin crease: more treacherous than an episode of Game of Thrones
The ABCs of the boss
- Take your time (it's not a race, even if you have a date in 1 hour)
- Stretch the skin as if you were stretching a tent (but more delicately)
- Check your work in the mirror regularly (no, no need to take selfies)
Level up: become a style boss
Crazy tricks
- The direction of the fur? Like when petting a cat: don't go any old how
- Difficult areas? Make faces, it doesn't help but at least you'll have a laugh
- One hand on the handlebars, the other reaching out: like on a bike, but different.
Your bathroom = your professional living room
Champion Setup:
- Crazy light (LED billy = your best wingman)
- A mirror you didn't steal from your grandmother
- A playlist that rocks (but not too much, you have to stay focused)
- A towel on hand (for those โoopsโ moments)
The express routine for those in a hurry
- Check battery (nothing worse than a lawnmower that dies in the middle of the action)
- Max length to start
- Some very regular passages
- A quick look at the result
- Adjustments if necessary
- Shower (non-negotiable)
- Final check in the mirror in "I'm handsome" mode
Ultimate Pro Tips:
- If in doubt, stop (it's like a casino)
- If you do something stupid, say it's a new fashion.
- If anyone laughs, remind them of their 2020 mullet.
Remember: Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is your style. Take your time, experiment, and most importantly: HAVE FUN!
Because in the end, the real victory is when you come out of your bathroom in "I'm in control of my life" mode (even if you spent 45 minutes trying to do straight lines).
And don't forget: with Billy, you're never alone in this hairy adventure! ๐
Free your hair (or not)! ๐
Well, we've come to the end of our hair journey, and honestly? If there's one thing you've learned, it's that 2024 is really the year when anything goes!
Want to keep an Amazonian forest? Do it. Prefer the "Versailles lawn" style? Go for it. Want to draw an emoji in your hair? Weird, but we approve!
The real revolution is not in the style you choose. It's in the fact that YOU choose. Period. Basta. End of story.
Because let's be honest for a second: in a world where we worry about global warming, where Netflix releases 47 shows a week, and where your cat posts more on Instagram than you do... does anyone really have time to judge your fur?
Crazy FAQ (because we know you're asking these questions)
๐ญ โHelp, I messed up my haircut!โ โ Breathe. Hair is like bad decisions: it grows back.
๐ญ "What will my date think?" โ If your date spends more time judging your body hair than appreciating your crazy personality, change your date, not your style.
๐ญ "It's normal if..." โ YES. Next question.
Last words (we promise we'll leave you afterwards)
Remember:
- billy is here to help you, not to judge you
- Your hair = your period (this is not a joke in bad taste)
- 2024 is the year you don't give a damn about the dictates
So now, grab your billy clippers, look in the mirror, and say to yourself: "My hair, my body, my period, and if you're not happy... swipe left!"
PS: If you've read this far, you're officially a member of the #BillyFamily. Welcome to the club where the only rules are that there are no rules (except for the one about not running with the lawnmower, that's sacred)!
See you soon for new furry adventures! ๐
