Heidi Klum, 52-year-old model, is known for her beauty, her career, her disguises and since October 14, for a taboo detail on her chest. A hair, several centimeters long, which she filmed in close-up, without any embarrassment.
A great video that feels good!
“Do you have hair on your breasts?“, asked the star in the caption of her video, while playing with the intruder. A way of showing that her hair is the least of her worries (for a woman with an appearance profession). She is all the more right as this type of hair is nothing other than a completely natural element. Yes, even in a woman!
This is not the first time that the 52-year-old woman has not hidden anything about her hair. In February, she told Real Simple having spotted an isolated gray hair on her chest, as long as her “little finger”, and others on her chin, “clinging to life” as she said with humor.
In a way, being told that “Heidi Klum also shares your hair problems” is oddly comforting. In any case, this allows us to get back on track!
A perfectly normal intruder, when isolated
Although hair around the chest can be annoying, it is not rare, as noted by Dr. Odile Bagot, gynecologist.
“There are many women who have hair, few in number, but very long, along the areola. This is seen in a natural and physiological way and there is no need to worry about it at all. Now, as they are rare and they are long, a simple flick of tweezers allows them to be removed. It’s nothing to worry about.”
To keep or to remove, it is in any case the choice of each person. And like Heidi Klum, you can choose not to be offended.
Check if excess hair bothers you
On the other hand, if the hairs multiply on the thorax, that is to say between the breasts and go up towards the neck, this is an abnormal location.
“If to this are added pubic hairs which rise towards the navel or on the upper lip, we are rather in what we call hirsutism. This is a hormonal imbalance of the hyperandrogenism type that can be found in PCOS, for example.” specifies the gynecologist.
In this case, there is no need to arm yourself with tweezers or multiply the wax strips. “Before thinking about removing hair, you must first look for the cause of this hairiness, such as an endocrine cause, in order to receive appropriate treatment.
Regardless, Heidi Klum’s statements bring some normality back into the lives of women after 50. Yes, women have hair. And no, this is not necessarily a fault!
