It's when you cut the hair too short and the tip is left underneath the level of the skin. If it can't find it's way out of a pore (for which being clean and using various ointments helps), it pushes up against the skin from underneath, gets infected and leaves a blotch that looks rather like a pimple.

Using anti-ingrown cream helps, as does a mild abrasive to wear away the top layer of the skin.

So that's what those are.

I occasionally get boils from ingrown hairs.

I need to find my shaver. I'm starting to get a neckbeard.

Nemo's post has reminded me of this:

What about Alpheus Felch, the original Neckbeard? He was a governor.

Says Mr. 14-year-old.

DEAR GOD IT BURNS

That was my initial reaction but, to be fair, Josh hasn't yet informed us of his own facial hair status.

Or his not-so-facial hair

To be fair, I have only mentioned my lack of facial hair once. I'm not telling you about all the places where strage hairs are growing, how my voice is getting deeper and that I suddenly have the urge to make the sex with ladyfolk.

He looks like a cunt.

Wait... since when were you in to girls?

Or is the implication that you're not telling us about that stuff because none of the above is actually happening?

I was saying that because thats what teenage boys are supposed to do. Well, some of the ones down here anyway.

What a pathetic attempt to mask your obvious latent heterosexuality. GTFO.

I think Nate is crying.

I quite like plucking my eyebrows it's a cool feeling.....and yes i'm 13 proof on WDYLL, it's that "transformation" i'm going thru....sweating,hair growth,lotsa boners(quite frustrating when in public zones..that's why i wear baggy jeans),the only hair i don't pluck or shave is my legs hair(i quite like how it looks)


shaving,cutting,plucking ure hair is good for some reasons:
1.Reduce sweating
2.Hair keeps germs and bacterias(especially pubic hair)
3.Women hate arm pit hair

UUUUUUUrgh boner

And thus gender roles became another level of weird.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that you, sir, are probably not a good authority on what women do or do not like.

I dunno if they hate it, but I can't imagine they find a bush of armpit hair sticking out from underneath your t-shirt sleeves sexy. I sure don't, which is why I keep it trimmed.

I'm going to channel Josh for a moment and exclaim:
NOBODY WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT THE BONERS OF A THIRTEEN YEAR OLD.



Ironically, the one person who might actually want to know about them (given age proximity and whatnot) is Josh, but that's neither here nor there.

I think the women like the pit hair, 'specially when you rub it in their faces.

Even when its wet?

How else are they meant to feel the moist hair glide across their upper lip?

They make it wet stupid.

You were once like me, don't forget that!

Even then people didn't want to hear about his thirteen year old boner.

No one wants to hear about any boners!

Aside from most of the members here.

I never described my body hair to strangers on the internet.

It would be just a bit freaky.

Me describing my body hair or gays?
