Dd is 12. Just started periods so puberty is now in full force.
She is fair haired so although there is hair on her legs it is currently very blonde although I think that her legs are getting hairier. She is very sporty so wears shorts a lot.
So far she hasn’t said anything about leg hair but she is quite private so more the type to worry to herself than admit to me that there is a problem.
Just wondering what the best thing is for leg hair for girls these days. I use a bladed razor in the shower but I have memories of cutting myself really badly as a teen.
An electric “lady shave” might be better maybe? Although once she starts shaving her leg hair won’t be as blonde so it becomes an endless job.
I remember creams as a teen but they were all a bit crap and smelly.
Waxing is probably best and we have the money to take her to a proper salon but she is very adverse to injections etc so suspect she might not be enthusiastic.
I want to have the conversation with her and make her feel like there are options if she wants to get rid of the hair and that I can help but I also want her to feel that if she doesn’t agree with removing the hair / can’t be bothered then that is ok too. It is a touchy subject for me as I remember being teased about leg hair in my teens. (My mum did not have the conversation with me as she didn’t approve of leg shaving.) Then I found razors and just got on with it.
