As long as we're asking fun questions about leg hair, and since the correlation between thicknesses doesn't seem very strong, I'm asking one about color. Guys, I'm giving you your own option to vote because I don't want your hormones skewing things. Sorry.

I don't have zillions of options, so I'm splitting hair colors light and dark. Use your judgement.

Light:
Blonds
Redheads
Light auburn

Dark:
Dark auburn
Brunettes
Raven-hair

My hair is dark and my leg hairs are mostly light, but I do find an occasional dark one in there.

My head hair and leg hair are dark and fine-medium. I wish it wasn't so dark against my pale skin so I wouldn't have to shave so often.

My leg hair is darker (black) and courser than my head hair.

My hair is medium brown (and grey) and fine, and I have no leg hair whatsoever. Very little armpit hair, either.

Probably sheds some light on why there's not all that much hair on my head ...

:shrug:

Don't know what to say here, Hair is dark and light. Legs are divided. Upper leg, till a little past knee is platinum as is arm hair. Past knee is dark, and as I age, coarse and brittle.

I am naturally a dark brunette...
My leg hairs are the same color and fine. But some other body hairs like arm are even lighter...:confused:

May 5th, 2008, 09:57 PM
I classified my head hair as "light", because (naturally) it's a light ashy brownish auburn. I think. Haven't seen much of it in a while.

My leg hair is dark, coarse, and insulating :p

My natural head color is dark/med dish water blond, my legs (from knee down) have fine/normal DARK brown, almost black hair. From the knee up the hair is thin, fine and light blond (like my arms)

Light and fine hair from top to toe. Including eyebrows, darn..

I'm blonde (I think. I still haven't quite decided on that one..) and have fine, pale hair on my upper leg (I don't even shave that much) but coarse, dark hair on my lower leg, so I'm not really sure which to pick.

I've dark brown hair, and my leg hair (and all other body hair too really) is so dark and thick it's scary. :shake:

May 6th, 2008, 05:20 AM
Now I'm thinking too hard about whether my leg hairs are coarse or fine. Whatever they are, there are too many of them!

Light hair, light skin, and very dark, coarse leghair, not the greatest combination :sad

May 6th, 2008, 11:14 AM
Hmm, after more thought and inspection (I rarely look at my leg hairs...) I must add that above my knees the hairs are fine and blonde. You can't really see them at all. But, below the knees they are black and course. Interesting.

I'm light-light. My leg hairs don't really have to be shaved because you can't see them. I shave anyway, if I'm going somewhere in a dress or if the hairs are super long. Otherwise, I don't pay much attention to them.

If I'm on the phone at my desk, sometimes, I'll cross a leg over the other one, lift my pant leg a little, and pluck the hairs out. Does anybody else do that?

My hair is bronze/light brown and all my body hair is fine and ashy brown.. though it does turn blonde in the sun.

My head hair is on the light side, and my leg hair is coarse and dark.

Valorie
May 6th, 2008, 04:34 PM
I grow barely arm hair at all-almost none, my leg hair is light and not very abundant, but I have dark hair.
Someone in my family said it's genetic but ? I don't know.

Kiraela
May 6th, 2008, 06:36 PM
my leghair's dark, like my head hair, but rather coarse, so they show up very strongly against my quite pale skin.

SarieQ
May 7th, 2008, 12:06 AM
My natural head hair color is red that's turned blond over the years. My body hair has always been thin and blond--however the thin blond hairs are very long and a lot of them! If they were thicker, I'd look pretty furry!

My grandmother had no hair whatsoever in her armpits or on her legs and arms. She had never ever shaved either because women didn't back then. Why oh why couldn't I have gotten those genetics?

Hair is dark but leg hairs are light/fine above my knee and dark/coarse below my knee.

Shorty89
May 7th, 2008, 08:32 PM
My hair is inbetween light and dark but I picked light because in natural light it is lighter. My leg hair is in general dark and fine below the knee and white blond above that.

truepeacenik
May 7th, 2008, 08:35 PM
bright red, both, medium thickness, both, length genes, both.
thicker vellus hair at ankle.
Here's a twist: my armpit fur is a mix of paler red and the same auburn of my eyebrows.

Angellen

Since I've begun waxing they have thinned considerably. Before, though, it was return of The Beast. And they have a (seemingly) freakishly long terminal length. The hairs on my arms would get about 1.5" long, maybe as long as 2". Regardless of color (which was dark, btw), that's some real fur there. I haven't seen terminal length on my legs for maybe 8 years, so I'm not sure how bestial they are naturally.

Most of my leg hair is very pale, lighter than my blonde hair. Some of it is fairly coarse, near the ankles.

twilight_faerie
May 9th, 2008, 12:33 AM
Interesting question. My hair's dark and so's all my body hair. Kinda hard to tell how thick my leg hair is, though.

Katze
May 9th, 2008, 01:15 AM
another mixed one here. Head hair is M and med. brown at the nape, super F and translucent at the crown. Leg hair is translucent and fine above the knee, coarser and browner below. I really only ever shave from the knee down.

My eyebrows are also mixed, but getting darker as I get older.

What's interesting is that my BF has similar hair color as me and his beard, leg, and body hair are also a mixture - some blonde, some red, some white, some dark brown. We seem to be some kind of genetic crossroads where the fine, blonde, hairless mixed, long ago, with the coarse, wavy haired, darker people. :D

I'm a darkblonde. Is that light or dark?
Anyways, my leg hair is thin and very blonde. You can't see the hairs, but you can feel them. Very handy if you forgot to shave, nobody sees it ;)

Dark blonde is generally classed as fair, I believe.

Head hair: light. Leg hair: dark.
Head hair: medium/coarse. Leg hair: ridiculously coarse.
Head hair: boat loads of it. Leg hair: sparse.

Go figure.

My head hair is blonde. As for my leg hair: bottom half of calf = light brownish, fine hair; upper half of calf, knee and upper leg = invisible blonde, fine hairs.

Dark hair on my head. My leg hairs aren't thick at all, but they are definitely dark and I have to shave twice a week to maintain my appearance. :o

My hair is dark blond/light brown and very fine, but my leg hair is *black* and super coarse. And it grows so fast, such a pain! I wish my head hair grew as fast as my leg hair, lol.

I wish I could swap my head hair for the thick black leg hair I have...

I'm not sure if mine are fine or coarse, but they're definitely dark. As is my hair, it's nearly black.

HotRag

I don't know anymore if I am light or dark... Maybe dark? (See sig pic...)

My leg hairs got the same colour and structure as my head hair.

Delilah
April 10th, 2009, 09:22 AM
My leg hair is the same as my head hair- almost black.

Weirdly, my noticeable leg hair only grows in around my ankle... If I don't shave for a month I will have a ring of dark hairs extending up to the sock-line and just tiny invisible hairs above that.
Bonus though- I can go a long time without shaving if I don't take my socks off.

CrystalStar

Light brunette head hair which is freakishly thick (about a 7" ponytail circumference) and almost see-through leg hair which is so fine it's almost not there :p

Hmm, after more thought and inspection (I rarely look at my leg hairs...) I must add that above my knees the hairs are fine and blonde. You can't really see them at all. But, below the knees they are black and course. Interesting.

This is exactly how my leg hairs are.

LOL, dark hair on my head, dark hair everywhere else. My leg hair is coarse below the knees and much more fine and sparse above them.

dearladydisdain

I have dark blonde hair naturally and my leg hair is dark and coarse. It is also thick and grows quickly.

Pretty much I just have very bad luck. :p

RoseRedDead
April 11th, 2009, 12:28 PM
My hair is medium brown, and my leg hair is overall light and fine. It gets darker below the knee, and most dark around the ankles. My hair (both leg and head) grows slowly. I can go for a long time without shaving, and I notice the growth, but to other people my leg hair is not very noticable. My sisters hate me. :p

I chose dark hair hair with fine/light leg hair.

Head hair is light (dark blonde). Leg hair is mostly transparent/not noticeable, minus a splotch that's a mix of transparent and ashy light-med blonde stuff on the lower half of my shins.

So light, and light/fine.

flapjack
April 11th, 2009, 04:26 PM
The hair on my head is dark but the hair on my legs and arms ranges from white/translucent on the arms to light brown on the shins. Thigh hair is also invisible. Hair on the head is a combo of F, M and C and very dense. Hair on the arms and thighs is sparse and F. Hair on the shins is sparse and M.

In other words, the rest of my body hasn't caught up to the color change on my head. It still thinks I'm a blonde.

kwaniesiam
April 12th, 2009, 12:53 AM
I'm a medium brown hennaed red, so I voted light hair with fine, dark leg hair. All of my body hair is darker (dark brown, almost black) than my head hair except for my arms.

Ndnlady
April 12th, 2009, 01:39 AM
My hair is dark on my head and my legs, but the hair on my legs is very fine, and still grows in soft, even if I haven't shaved in a while.

My head hair is dark, and my leg hair is dark and coarser, but my arm hair is light and very fine.

zen_oven
April 12th, 2009, 06:41 PM
It is sort of odd that leg hair might be a bit different, but I suppose it makes sense. My hair is dark, and my leg hair is very close to the same color, but on the occasions when I've gone feral, it's almost downy. I don't often go without shaving, but that's been my experience.

My head hair tends toward dark ... but my leg hair is coarse and strawberry blond. It basically doesn't show up unless I'm in the sunlight. My arm/body hair is also very light - but much finer than my leg hair.

The problem is, it grows FAST. I don't mind my head-hair growing fast - but my leg hair and my nails can just slow it down. I'm taking violin lessons and have to trim my nails at least once a week, if not more.

I am a blonde (honey shade, with some red) and I have very little hair on my legs, I shave maybe once a month, just to remove dry scaly skin. I always wonder if there is anyone else out there like this.My sister is a (in her own words) Yeti. She has waxing done on her stomach. I am a recessive gene. My father and mother both are native american and germanic in decent. My mom is not too hairy and my father doesn't even have chest hair, the man could never grow facial hair. I know most of you would hate me, but my co-workers think I am odd to have light hair and then the native traits like I do. I also have translucent arm hair. What a fun pole.

The hair on my head is in-between, not really dark or light, and very fine. The hair on my arms is light, sparse, and extremely fine, almost invisible.

My eyebrows and the hair on my legs is extremely dark and coarse (lucky, lucky me).

cassie_g
April 27th, 2009, 10:56 AM
I voted My hair is dark and my leg hairs are fine and dark. But the leg hair is dark from knee down and terribly fine and blond on my thighs. Which is fine with me, I only have to shave from the knee down. Don't worry I don't wear anything shorter than knee lenght anyways.

April 29th, 2009, 11:39 PM
Wierdly enough, the hair on my thighs is blond, light, and almost invisible. I haven't shaved in years. My calves have dark and coarse hair. I shave weekly or more. So strange!

My hair color is a dark-ish blond, and the rest of the hair on my body (ALL OF THE HAIR) is really really light blond. Almost hard to see. Except for this one hair on my thigh. It's really dark, really long, and creeps me out. Whenever I find it, I have to pluck it out.

I'm naturally a light blah-blonde, and my leg hair is the same color. It's almost transparent unless I let it grow really long, and even then it's very sparse and not terribly noticeable even against my pale skin.

Syaoransbear

Dirty blonde hair and fine, white leg hair. It's cool because if I don't shave nobody notices. I don't think I've shaved my legs since june.
