What is more effective, shaving, waxing or using that hair removal cream (such as Nair) on you legs? It'll be my first time so which one will stop hair growth on my legs for the longest? If it helps im a 13 year old female.

Waxing keeps the hair away for a longer time, but that's because it pulls or rips the roots from the skin...so yeah painful!
To me, nair and other creams, burn my skin and then itch and it smells pretty badly too.
I would say shaving is the way to go. The hair comes back quickly but it's much easier and once you know HOW TO SHAVE you can do it without ever cutting yourself. [ jammy12's advice column | Ask jammy12 A Question ]

Waxing kits can be on the expensive side, and it hurts like hell to do. But the results last much longer, so if you have a high pain tolerance, then you can go ahead and try it.
Nair works very well, but it usually doesn't take 3-4 minutes like they say, and the smell is horrible. Hair removal creams are generally decently priced and it leaves your legs really smooth, so that is a plus. And it usually lasts about 3-5 days.
Shaving is the quickest, easiest, and least expensive way to remove hair. You don't need to buy any of those shaving gels either, regular body wash or conditioner works just as well. You can do it right in the shower, so it's very quick. The only downside is you will probably have to do it every day to stay smooth. I don't have a problem with doing that, but it is your choice.
To answer your question, waxing will stop your hair growth for the longest time, but shaving, in my opinion, is the best way to go. The choice is yours, go ahead and experiment and see what you like best. :) [ Er_Bear19's advice column | Ask Er_Bear19 A Question ]

Dont wax unless you want serious pain, becuase it hurts like crap. Nair is good but it just smells kind of weird but it will give you the smoothest legs with the least amount of "shaving"
