Hair removal in a 10 year old

6 replies

Hi, not sure if this is the right topic my DD recently came to me and said she wants to remove her leg hair, now I have no problem with that its a tricky age and I don't want her to feel embarrassed.

So what can I use for hair removal, I don't think razors yet was thinking about removal cream!! Now I'm very dark haired so have to shave everyday my DD is lighter but I hate to start on that journey of hair removal as at 10 she is quite young.. Anyone have any experience they are willing to share?

I shave so that's what dd did too. The olay blades are good as they have the soap bit attached to the razor

My dd is 11 and blonde so quite light but hairy bless her. She was anxious about using a razor so we used veet sensitive hair removal cream. The first time she stood in her swimming costume and I did it to show her but she can do it herself now and loves how soft her legs are after.

My dd's 11+12 asked me a few months ago if they could shave their legs , showed them how to apply shaving gel and how to do it. They did it once, declared it too much faff on and haven't mentioned it since!!

Electric shaver - quite safe and easy to use

I second electric shaver, easy to use and less chance of cutting herself.

I shaved. My hair is black and my mum used to shave my legs when I was 10 because she didn’t want me using it on my own.
