Hair today gone tomorrow
Pubic waxing saloons are the
latest trend in continental Europe where one in two women aged between 18 and 25
regards pubic hair as unhygienic - and are shaving it all off, according to a
study carried out by a German psychologist.
The study also found that
more and more men agree and are shaving off pubic hair while growing numbers of
parents are treating their teenage children to a pubic waxing as an eighteenth
birthday present.
Psychologist Elmar Braehler who led the study said:
"Even teenagers as young as 14 or 15 are joining the trend to remove all pubic
hair. They don't do it because they think it is trendy - they just find pubic
hair revolting to look at and think it is unhygienic."
In Germany there
are even specialist shops now offering permanent pubic hair removal costing 260
GBP per treatment. One store owner, Ossi Casmir, said: "We even get parents
bringing their kids along for their first treatment. I'd say it is now as
popular as the typical present of paying for their kids to have a course of
driving lessons."
