Hair Where Hair Ought Not Be
7 min., DV, 2009
It grows. Thick and dark, there it is. On our upper lips, calves, toes, underarms, and between our legs.
Hair, where hair ought not be.
Women shave, pluck, wax, pull, despise, hate, accept or love it. They aren’t born with these skills or feelings, but by adulthood they’re second nature. Hair Where Hair Ought Not Be is a seven-minute exploration of the development of the emotions behind the every day mundanity of hair maintenance and removal. It is an intimate voyage into the bathroom sanctuaries of adult women as they perform all manors of hair related rituals. Hair Where Hair Ought Not Be aims to make private feelings public, and take the shame away from this small but ubiquitous vanity – whether women choose to remove their body hair, or leave it be.
