My thighs are never hair-free!

I shave everyday. But I can never get my thigh hair-free. Is this normal that the hair is hard-to-get?

Shaving the thigh area and the back of your legs is definitely tricky because these spots are sooo hard to reach. Some people even choose to only shave the bottom half of their legs and skip the thigh region all together. The majority of us girls would agree that yes, the hair on and behind our thighs can be prove to be quite the challenge when it comes to shaving. Here are some tips that will make shaving this area a lot easier.
 
Use an exfoliating scrub on your legs before you shave. It’ll get rid of dead skin cells that may make your shaving not as effective.
 
Use hot water when you’re shaving your legs because the heat will relax your hair follicles and make it much easier to remove unwanted hair.
 
Lather creamy shaving cream on your thighs before you shave to avoid nicks and cuts and allow for a much closer shave. If you don’t have shaving cream try using hair conditioner – your legs will be super silky from this extra hydration!
 
Shave slowly and carefully to avoid missing any spots, and be sure to change your razor regularly so they stay nice ‘n’ sharp.
 
Move the razor in the opposite direction that your hair is growing for a mega-smooth shave! Dry off your legs and apply lotion as soon as you get out of the shower to avoid razor burn.
 
Most importantly, don’t worry if you can’t get rid of all the hair on your thighs. It’s typically finer and lighter in color than the rest of your leg hair, so you’re probably the only one noticing it, anyway.

Whenever I shave at night my legs are really smooth. But when I wake up in the morning, I notice some of the hair grows back! But only in some places and it's really short. Any tips on how to not have any hair at all? THANKS SO MUCH!!




You can try a depilatory cream, which dissolves hairs to keep your legs smoother for longer. Unfortunately, hair will always grow back.

Do most people shaved their thighs along with their legs? How about you? I'm just wondering because I've never shaved my thighs before, but I'm thinking about doing so because I'm going to have to wear shorts this week. Thanks in advanceSmile




Hey chica!

It's totally normal for girls to shave their thighs. It's all about personal preference. Check out this post for some more advice!

So I use a leg shaving thing called smooth away where it is just like sand paper. It works really well and even exfoliates your skin so it's super smooth but I have noticed that on one leg there are these little white spots after hair removing and I don't know what they are or how to avoid them.




Hey girl,

Those white spots could just be from dry skin if you're exfoliating too much, but it's best to either stop using the smooth away for a little while so your skin has time to recuperate. If the white spots still won't go away, go see your doctor or skin doctor just to make sure everything's OK. x0x0

Hi! so i need help! I have a lot of hair on my legs and it is verry embarrasing! some of my classmates used to make fun of my legs because they are hairy! even the BOYS!!! So I keep asking my mom for permission to shave and she keeps saying no because i am too young! I hate it! I am 13 and about to go to eight grade! I seriously cant stand jeans, so i am always wearing a dress, skirt, or shorts! It is getting really uncomfortable! and she keeps saying i cant shave till im 15! that is a verry long time from now! How can i convince my mom?!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!! also i tried convinsing her to let me use shaving lotion and she still says no! PLEASE HELP!! thanks!




Try talking to her about why you want to shave and see if you two can find middle ground.

Laughing I use Nair hair removing lotion. You just apply a layer of the "lotion" to your legs for three minuets, then wash it off with lukewarm water. It helps alot if you have trouble reaching in certain places!
