PCOS Messages for February, 2002: Re: Question on hair growth and PCOS

Hi Alexa,

My hair started getting darker when i reached puberty (I was about 10 when I started menstruating) but it was still very fine and could get away with just the bleaching (though when I look at photos from the year before you can just about make out the "fuzz" starting to begin). It took a few years before it started to turn into the thick, course, pubic type hair and that was before I was allowed to shave or wax, (my Mum used to bleach them for me because some kids at school were starting to make remarks) and it really annoys me if people talk about shaving making things worse I didn't do anything to them and they still grew thick and dark on their own accord. I hope it doesn't happen to you because it can be a real pain in the bum!!!
