Fio has long been of the opinion that if one's hair looks good, one can go anywhere--which frequently results in Fio going nowhere.
Her hair is thick enough, but fine, which means it hangs lank at the least provocation. So she trots off to Friend Deborah at regular intervals and gets herself highlighted and permed and trimmed and styled.
But it never lasts. The hair grows, the highlighting turns brassy, and Fio can never quite work the curling iron like Deborah does.
Now she knows why ancient Egyptians shaved their heads and wore wigs.

Leg Vain
Tired of clogging up the bathtub drain every time she shaves, Fio signed her legs up for laser hair removal. The first session was yesterday, and the experience confirmed her supposition that, if ever tortured, she'd squeal like the proverbial stuck pig.
On the other hand, perpetually smooth legs are worth a sting or two.

Hair Today
Fiorella comes from a long line of clean-shaven men and mustachioed women. Yes, hirsutity runs in her female line.
Thus she's tried almost every hair-removal method in the book--or advertised on TV.
Electrolysis works well, but takes time and money. It's really not feasible for anything but small areas unless you're really dedicated. There's also a certain amount of pain involved. Fio's tried various depilatories too, but apparently her yeti leg pelt is stronger than their formulae. She's never tried professional waxing, but an at-home kit left a rather haphazard pattern on her legs. The sugar stuff out of Australia was nasty.
Yesterday she bought some pads that one is supposed to rub three times clockwise, three times counter. Today she tried them. They worked--but it took ten minutes to do about twenty square inches. Fio doesn't have that kind of time to spend on being satin smooth.
Okay, Fio admits it--she hasn't tried lasering, although she has been studying spa ads recently. The problem with is, of course, is the money, plus the fact that you have to keep it up.
So it's back to the ol' razor again. At least Fio has the comfort she'll never go bald--anywhere.
