My legs are hairy and i'm a girl!?!


Question: My legs are hairy and i'm a girl!?
I have pretty hairy legs and I don't like it. I feel shy and embarrassed when i wear shorts or even knee pants. I want to get rid of it. How and what is the best and easiest way?
I don't want to shave though because apparently the hair grows back fast and even thicker...
does waxing work? are there any other methods? please let me know! thank you in advance.

Answers:

Shaving, waxing, hair removal cream, or an epilator are all the options I can think of. Personally I shave and have been since middle school I think is when I started and I am in college now. Shaving does mean maitence since you do have to shave every couple days but once you get the hang of it it takes no time and your on to the next thing. My hair on my legs has not come in darker or more thick but then again I have blonde hair so mine is fine and light in coloration. Waxing I don't like on my legs because it is exspensive and I have long legs so its a lot to cover though I like how smooth it is and it lasts longer then shaving. Hair cream like nair or veet also works, some do have a strong smell though, other then that they work well but kinda messy. And last is the epilator which I just recently found out about, basically it is like a electric shaver but instead of razors it has these tweezer heads that spin and pull out the hairs. I have heard that it feels like a rubber band snap but that it remains smooth for a while because it pulls out the whole hair. But the epilator does cost the most out of the bunch at I think at least $40 for a good model but it does last a long time. So its up to you and which option you prefer.

First of all, it's totally normal to to have hairy legs. Secondly, it's true that the hair grows back pretty fast, within three days usually, but I'm pretty sure that the thicker thing isn't true, and if it is, it really doesn't make that much of a difference. The really good thing about shaving is that it doesn't hurt, like waxing. Waxing hurts the first few times you do it, understandably, but it doesn't grow back for 2-8 weeks. There are other things that you can you, like this little machine that pulls out the hair, an epilator, but you should wax before you use one of them.
I hope this helps.



Its very normal for girls to have hairy legs. Shaving is the easiest way to get rid of it. The other methods usually hurt very badly. Be sure to get some shaving cream---the kind for girls. That makes it a lot more comfortable. The hair doesn't come in thicker, it just SEEMS like it because your legs are so smooth for several days or a week and then all of a sudden the hair is there again.



No, that's a myth. Shave away.



waxing is good.
