I'm too chicken to shave my legs?!


Question: I'm too chicken to shave my legs!?
Okay, I am embarrassed to say this, but I am TERRIFIED of shaving my legs! I got all my stuff ready, but I just couldn't do it! I started shaking and then I decided that I just might as well not shave if I'm shaking!.

But the problem is, I have to do something about this soon!. It's not that noticeable yet because I'm blonde and the hairs are thin, but they are getting longer and a bit thicker and I'm turning into a gorilla!

What are the alternatives (other than waxing because I'd be just as chicken to do THAT0 if there is any!?

Thanks,

Well hun!. There should be no reason to be scared!. A few tips!.
* If you haven't confronted your mom, or dad!.!. don't be afraid parents can be more helpful then you think, and will make you feel a lot more comfortable with this new part of your life!.
* If you don't want to do that the I suggest get a small bucket of water, and fill it with some warm water!.

* Since you probably havn't used your razor before you must know you don't have to push down on your skin, just glide the razor over your skin, and it will get that hair!.!. :)
* Also I always leave the knees for last and carefully go over them!.
* and I am not sure your age, but since you are just starting to shave don't worry about your upper thighs yet!.!. (above your knees)

Nair (or similar) is good because you just put it on your legs like a moisturizer and if you leave it for 10 minutes or so and it dissolves the hair away!. I know it sounds gross but it's really okay!. The best thing about it is you can just try a little bit at first if you don't want to do the whole thing, and it's nowhere near as bad as waxing!.

Don't feel you have to rush into it though - you've got plenty of time to shave your legs in the future - enjoy the blondness while it lasts!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can look into products like Nair and Veet which you use by applying a cream or lotion, waiting and then wiping hair away!. I have found they are not as effective as shaving or waxing, but you may find it easier to shave when the hairs aren't as long!. As long as you use a razor the way it is supposed to be used and go slow you probably won't cut yourself!. Good luck!. You can do it!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, you can do what I did at first I started using cream products ex; Veet!. It's a type of cream you rub on to your legs (not in the shower) and you leave it on for about 5 minutes and it burns off all the hair and you can rinse your legs off after!. If you have sensitive skin it might feel like its buring but nothing should happen the only main side effect is a minor rash that will go away with in 30 minutes to an hour!. (:Www@Answer-Health@Com

You could use an electric razor until you aren't scared anymore!. If you are scared that you are going to cut yourself, don't worry!. It happens to a lot of people at first!. Just don't apply too much pressure and you will be fine!. Also, I was in a clinical class, and we had to learn how to shave men's beards, so our teacher gave us balloons and put shaving cream on them to practice!. It could be the same concept for you!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

nair, you put this creme like stuff on your legs!. wait a little while, then wipe away with a cloth!. it's chemicals though, so don't think there's always an easier solution!. just try shaving! you'll get used to it, and there's a time when you'll have to do many things that you don't want to do! Www@Answer-Health@Com

I started out with Nair :)
It's this cream that you leave on for about 5 minutes, and it melts off your hair!. It doesn't hurt at all, but some people might have a reaction to it!.
Try using that first :D
You can buy it anywhere that you buy razors/shaving gel

I used Nair!. I would just put the cream on, then use the razor that came with it *it actually had no blade* then 'shave' the hair off!. It got me used to the feeling of shaving then a couple weeks later I went to a real razor!. It's nothing big, just do it lol

Have your mom help you!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Nair is the best way to get rid of it other than waxing or shaving!. It doesn't smell very pleasant, but it does the job, don't leave it on any longer than it says on the bottle otherwise you could potentially burn your skin!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can use Nair!. Put the cream or foam on, let it sit for the time it says and then wipe off with a wet, warm wash cloth!.

Also, you can use an electric razor, you cannot cut yourself with them, its impossible!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

When i first shaved, i was terrified too, i thought i was gonna cut myself!. But then i tried it, i think i was a pro!. Dont worry, just put plenty of soap on it!. And DONT press the razor!.I just put it agenst my skin and it cuts!. Its cool!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

theres a cream called nair!.
i dont know how old you are but nair pretty is good for sensitive and younger skin!.
you rub it all over your leg and wait five minutes then take it off!.
remember--pretty much every girl shaves their legs!.
get your mom to do it for you the first time!.

ok waxing hurts more than shaving your legs!. you can get like veet or nair!. all you do is rub a layer of the stuff on and then wait a few min and wash it off and your hairs gone!. it actually helps more than shaving!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe you could get your Mom to get you an electric razor so that you are not afraid of cutting yourself!. Other than that, millions of women shave, just carefully, go for it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

nair!.
is the name of the stuff where you dont have to shave!.

Well you can use Vete were you don't have to use a razor!. And you need to start facing your fears!. Shaving is not scary at all!. Trust me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just try it on a little part of your leg!. Or arm if that makes you more comfortable!. If you still don't like it!.!.!. Just don't shave! Not all men are shallow enough to avoid a girl because she doesn't shave!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

At first, I was afraid first too!. You'll be able to do it eventually!. But if you want some alternatives, try using hair removal cream!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Waxing doesn't hurt as much as it seems it does, if you do it quickly (I've done home waxing before)!. The downside is you can't wax every day like shaving!. You have to wait until the hairs are fairly long before you can wax again!. The upside is that you have perfectly smooth legs for like 4 weeks so you don't have to worry for a long time!. Plus, if you keep up with waxing for a few years your hairs will just stop growing in and you won't have to worry about it ever!.

Shaving!.!.!. this may sound weird, but if you've never shaved your legs and don't have any ingrown hairs or any scabs (both caused by shaving) and you have a new, very sharp blade, the odds of you accidentally cutting yourself are slim to none!. Sharper blades cut skin less often than dull ones (ask any experienced shaver, they'll say the same)!. And with "virgin" legs free of scabs, you're basically risk free!

Sit down in the bath tub full of warm water and just shave underwater!. I find that very relaxing, no messy shaving cream, and no worries about standing up!.

Best of luck! I had trouble learning to shave myself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its literally the easiest thing ever

You put the soap **** on, scrape it off with the razor!. There, problem solved!.

It can't do anything to you, you actually have to TRY to cut yourself to get a decent sized cut - razors are relatevly harmless so whats the fear about!? Guys have to shave their faces everyday, and the nerve endings in your face are crazy sensitive

Seriously, if its any motivation just know that hairy legs on chicks is THE biggest turnoff ever and you'll be alone forever if you don't have basic hygeine

Picture a guy who's never shaved before, would you think he's sexy!? Prolly not!. Same goes for girls & their legs

So suck it up and shave them beasts, its honestly harder to wash your hair or eat a donut than it is to shave THERES NOTHING TO BE AFRAID ABOUTWww@Answer-Health@Com

Don't do it then!. If you're only 13 and it's blonde then there's no need if you're scared!. Maybe when you're older you won't mind!. There is a cream you can use that removes the hair but some women find it doesn't work very well!.

And for the people telling her she needs to - grow up!. She's only 13!. There is no need to do it!. And she doesn't need a boyfriend at that age!. Plus loads of guys especially in high school don't care if a girl has little blonde hairs on her legs, if they do then they're not worth being with!. Some of my (blonde) friends didn't start shaving until 16!.
