Body Grooming... Welcome to Season 2 Episode 8, the final episode of the season!

Let's be real about body hair, right? Humans are animals, animals have hair.  It's natural and healthy. But our bodies are also like material that can be molded, meaning we can totally change HOW our hair looks. Considering that grooming can often be accompanied by pain - why do we do this?? For some folks it is about perceptions of what beauty is. For some it is about perceptions about hygiene.  For some it could be a combination, or a perception about what is "cool" or "socially acceptable" regardless of their personal feelings. 

Mojo, Pixie and Cherry are back to create safe space to chat about all things body hair related. We get candid about why we feel the need to do or not do certain types of grooming: waxing, threading, shaving, trimming. We get into all the happy hairy crevices too: eyebrows, upper lips, beards, underarms, genitals, arms, legs, you name it! So fun to reminisce about how us humans get started on this journey of grooming, and what drives our likes and dislikes, and how that interplays with other humans who have opinions one way or the other. 

Question: What's the part of body you don't understand why people groom?
