All About Hair Everywhere!

http://nyupress.org/books/9781479840823/

99% of US women voluntarily remove body hair at sometime in their life. 85% regularly remove body hair. Women spend on average $10,000 on hair removal over their lifetime or $23,000 if they are waxing. Vylma and Tara interview Rebecca Herzig about hair removal and her book, Plucked: A History of Hair Removal.

Then Tara takes to the streets of Oakland to hear about hair from our local people.
