That's kinda what I figured. My mother was married to an
egyptian for a couple of years in the 80s and they have a
tradition of using a sugar mixture to remove all body hair
except the head, starting at puberty - 'cause sand. == I was
going through puberty myself at the time and, intrigued, I
decided to get rid of the beginnings of chest hair using a
strange bottle of Nair I found under the bathroom sink. Well, I
didn't follow instructions. I rubbed it into my wisps of chest
hair, quite vigorously because it wasn't instant. RAW and sore
for a week after that. Never did THAT again. == lol it's ok. It
was not only a lesson learned but I came away with a
word-of-warning story to tell, which I did smile emoticon
