advice

I'm not allowed to do anything with my leg or arm hair. My parents think it will grow back thicker no matter how much I convince them. I also have kind of sensetive skin I guess? Well, I need every possible way to get rid of leg hair. Every time I look at my legs, theres either more hair, or getting thick. My parents think shaving will make it grow back thicker, the hair removal cream will harm my skin, and waxing, they think its bad?
If you can please help, then can you please please please list these :
- Positives and Negatives for every possible way to remove body hair
- If you tried any, then please list the comments
- Some ways to convince my parents to buying them

My parents dont even have leg hair, my dad does, so I guess it genetics. Otherwise, they still dont let me. Any advice would help. Thanks ;♥

If your leg hair (and under arm hair especially) is really noticable, thick and dark then tell them you are really self concious of it, especially in PE because everyone else has smooth legs and yours stand out. Also tell them that razors are really cheap to buy for a pack so they will last you a long time too.
I think most girls start shaving their legs around your age anyway, it's all part of puberty and growing up.

I know you didnt mention it but under arm hair is better shaved off, it's not very nice to look at and it's more hygenic, especially as when you are going through puberty you sweat more, so the odour lingers in the hair. so maybe they could let you have razors for this and then try shaving your legs too.

Once you shave your legs, it will grow back thicker and darker so it's something you have to keep doing to keep it managable.

Pro's of shaving - It's quick, it's easy, if you use alot of shaving cream you shouldnt cut youself too much, disposable razors are cheap to buy, you can buy safety razrs which minimise cutting.

Cons of shaving - you can cut yourself (though not deeply, just little nicks), you can get razor burn sometimes, the hair grows back thicker and darker, it's something you have to keep doing.

I used to use hair removing cream too

Pro's - It leaves your legs hairless and smooth, hair takes about 3 weeks before it starts to grow back

Con's - expensive, doesn't always work the first few times so you may need to buy more than one tube, it's messy, it can take atleast half an hour sometimes so you can't just do it if your in a rush

Hope this helps xxx
