Is it normal i shave my legs and they get prickly after

Because the ac is on? I try to avoid this. But right when I get out of the shower leg hair grows back quickly if you think about it's really fast.

    When you get goose bumps, this is caused by the Arrector pili muscle (smallest muscle in the body) contracting. This muscle is attached to the base of the hair follicle and makes the hair stand on end to help preserve body heat.

    When this happens a small amount of hair is pushed out through the skin by the act of standing on end.

    Try and avoid getting goosebumps or you will be forever prickly!

      That's horseshit. Everybody know its from your skin shrinking.

    you should wax your legs , waxing is really better than shaving.

    use nair or a similar product, it works great and lasts longer.

    Goodness. I love women that let their armpits and leg hair grow a bit. Listened to a podcast on 'Stuff Mother Never Told You' recently and got the history on how and why the war on female body hair started. I wonder if that commercial with the woman with crazy long armpit hair flying in her guy's face while they ride a 2-seater bike is on youtube. It is hilarious and she totally nails the line, "Its a little gift from nature".
