Hello beautiful women in my phone. I just had a consult at a laser clinic and apart from my chest, tummy and back, my body hair is mostly too blonde/ginger to get at with laser (though still dark enough to see clearly).

On T my body hair grows pretty fast and thick and hair removal at the moment is constant and miserable. I'm wondering whether E can help make it idk, chill out a bit? I'm starting E + cypro very soon so that's what I'll be working with going forward.

Any girls in here with the kind of hair that laser clinics cant touch? Did E help?

As you're seeing from the replies, body hair is variable. For me, I've got thick dark hair, and before HRT I had hair on my back, chest, shoulders, the top of my feet and the back of my hands and dark arm and leg hair

HRT got rid of everything except for my face and legs. My face responded to laser though and if I don't shave my legs (which I generally don't), I look like any other dark haired woman with unshaven legs.
