No harm in shavin' hairy thighs

 
My mom says that I should never shave my thighs. They are all hairy, though, and when it’s hot and all the girls at school wear shorts, I feel so different. Is it healthy to shave your thighs?
 
There are no real health related components to shaving your thighs, so breathe easy babe! There are rumors that shaving your thighs can make your hair there darker and thicker, but that’s definitely not true. You can’t change the color of your hair just by shaving, and although the hair may appear thicker as it first grows in, that’s only because it’s new hair that’s just been cut. You are not going to damage your thighs or hair by shaving them.
 
If hairy thighs are making you uncomfortable, then shaving them might give you the boost of self-esteem you’re looking for…and help ya to fit in when everybody’s still wearing shorts. But remember: There’s nothing wrong with bearing hairy legs. If you don’t want to shave them, you certainly don’t have to, even if every other girl at school does it.
 
The next time it comes up in a convo with your mom, ask her why she thinks you should never shave your thighs. Consider her point of view, but know that at the end of the day, those are your thighs to shave—or not—as you please.

So, when I asked my mom about shaving, she just gave me a tube of Nair Pretty Cream. Is there a difference between hair-removing cream and shaving? Is it better to shave? Thanks! My mom isn't much of a help in beauty and etc.

 

hey girl! yes there is a difference. hair-removing cream uses chemicals to dissolve the hair. if you're going to use it, take some caution and just do a small patch of  skin on your leg first to make sure you don't have a bad reaction. shaving uses a blade to cut the hairs. it's up to you which method you wanna do!

Mod- I heard about this stuff called nair. u just apply the lotionlike stuff and it makes the hair go away. it sounds to good to be true! is this true? and where can i buy nair?

 

Hey noodle&poodles, yup girly. You apply it, leave it on for a few minutes, and wipe it away with a damp cloth or in the shower. There are also scented ones because the smell is a little strong. You can pick it up at CVs, Rite-Aid, Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreens, etc. Try it out! Xoxo

Hey I shaved my arms for the first time a year ago. My mom told me I was to young to do it, so I stopped. But since it grew back, there are more thicker, darker hairs(the hair on my arms is black) and it is WAY MORE NOTICIBLE than before. What do I do?




Hey there!

That happens when you shave most parts of your body that aren't usually shaved like your tummy or your arms.  The hair always grows back thicker and darker.  All you can really do is either consistently keep shaving it, so it never gets a chance to really grow back, or to leave it alone and let it grow back out so it won't keep getting worse.  I think the second option is a better idea.  After all, everybody has hairy arms.

Hey girl, just an awesome sub for girls who can't or don't want to shave. There's nothing wrong with shaving either: it's whatever works best for you!

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
