Does hair removal cream really work?

I told my mom I wanted to shave, and she said I’m too young for a razor…

Modmodmod! My mom won't let me shave my legs OR use Nair. She doesn't shave her legs and it looks gross and hairy and I don't want my legs to look like that. I am turning 12 and I have dark skin and dark hair so it looks like I have thin strips all over my legs and on my tummy. What can I do to change her mind?

 

Hey sweets! Try sitting down and having a conversation with her! Making make some compromises? Say you'll pick up a few extra chores to show you're responsible and mature? Or maybe set a goal and once you've achieved  the goal then you get to shave? Here's an article that lays out the conversation and gives tips for girls struggling with the same issue as you! http://www.girlslife.com/post/2009/05/27/shaving-talk-with-mom.aspx Hope it works! xoxo

I use nair shower power max on my arms and it works well! i tried it on my legs once and it didn't work all that well. if you're goin to shave definitely get a shave gel... i love skintimate raspberry rain!

Hey babe! There is no reason to be embarrassed about that question, but yes, it does. There is one for bikini lines, so try that! xoxo Jess W.

MOD i have tried nair and veet removal but when i use the normal original type it burns and is really itchy. Then when i use sensitive skin type ut doesnt work. Any idea what to try next?

 

 

Hey girly! Personally, I like to stick with a plain, old-fashioned razor. Hair removal creams typically smell bad, and usually don't give as close of a shave as a razor does.

I tried Nair once and it didn't work at all :/ So I just do normal shaving instead.

MOD!! I was wondering, does your hair grow back thicker and darker after you use hair removal cream?? I shave my legs and the hair on my legs are now darker and thicker. My friend suggested using cream but I don't want to use it if it makes your hair thicker an darker. Help!!!




Nope.
