shaving, any other option? Options

[takeapolaroid__x]

i shaved and now my hair is growing back really dark and thick. if i use shaving cream, will it grow back the same way?

i dn't wana wax, either. i heard it hurts, and i dont wana fullstop (.)

[parallel]

Well. It was going to anyway.
That is. Grow back like that.

[lilliannnn]

Did you expect it not to grow back like that? Anyways, using shaving cream won't give you any different effect.

Other than waxing, you could try a depilatory, which is a lotion that removes hair, like Nair or Salley Hansen. (But.. I don't reccoment it because it smells.)

[Xprezsion]

You could try that Veet thing (it's like Nair). A lot of my friends say it works well, I have yet to try it though.

Well, shaving, waxing or tweezing your leg hair makes your hair grow back coarser.

Shaving your legs tends to leave your legs soft and exfoliated but, your hair does grow back faster.

Waxing is a simple way of getting rid of your leg hair but it could be really painful.~your hair might grow back in 4 weeks.

Tweezing.. who has time for tweezing their legs?

[*Kathleen*]

You could try ripping the hairs off your leg with your mouth. Argh.

[technicolour]

^ you're kidding right? my god.

No it's always going to do that. forever and ever...

[*Kathleen*]

Why would I be kidding?






































Pssst. Yes, I'm kidding.

Shaving definately does not leave your legs exfoliated lol haven't you ever heard of razor burn? If anything, the razor roughs up the skin and can cause irritation. The only reason why it feels smoother is because there is no hair. You should put lotion on after shaving your legs and no shaving cream has no effect on how your hair grows back. I actually don't use shaving cream because I tend to cut myself more when using it. It makes the razor glide much more easier which means your more likely to nick yourself unless your very careful.

If you want to exfoliate your legs, use exfoliating soap or rubs, etc., BEFORE shaving! This is because your skin is much more likely to become irritated after you shave.

It's part of being a girl- always hasseling with shaving. Every girl is different which means that each girls hair may grow in different, etc. I didn't notice any difference when I first shaved my legs and my hair never got any darker. So it just depends

i use veet, it is realy good, and it dosent smell that much like nair.

My friend is around 20-something.
She tweezes her leghairs. Her legs are softtt too.

[IamRad]

there are topics on this, i think

try searching

[Fallen Fairy]

I think you should try waxing.

It last for weeks and it comes back not as course since the hair that was there before was completely removed.

no sorry, but it actually does. You usually get razor burn if you are not careful. It's proven in the June/july issue of Cosmo Girl.

Get your facts straight.

Holy poo. How long does it take her to do that?

Lol! No reason to get cranky. You can get razor burn in various different ways i.e., shaving to hard, shaving without water, etc. If shaving exfoliates skin then pigs fly =P I've never heard of it nor does it exfoliate my skin or anyone else's skin that I know of.

[*reflection*]

use veet or wax.
waxing doesn't hurt that much and you'll be hair free for 4-8 weeks

[xaznxehgix]

hair doesn't grow bad thicker and darker. it's just a misconception. the reason why sometimes it may look like that is because of the angle that it grows out. but i think waxing is the best method to go.

[avalon*]

Well, if you have time to tweeze, it's better than using Nair or Veet because it doesn't have chemicals and whatnot. It's healthier for your skin, but again, not many people have time to pick out every single leg hair.

[glit_gal]

Try this:


...it lasts for 4 weeks

[jennyjenny]

If you use shaving cream, it grows back the same way.

Try using nair or veet or something.

I wasn't trying to sound cranky :X. But shaving DOES exfoliate your legs. kthnx

shaving does not make your hair coarser/thicker/dark as stated above. The hair on your leg is different from the facial hair of a male. I mean, if you constantly cut your hair, it wouldn't go faster or anything, riite?

Try this, go without shaving for a few more days and you'll see that your hair returns to normal. When we first start shaving, it's around puberty. Somewhere I read, the hormones elevate the amount of pigments produced.

uh... Actually it does. Your pediatrician should've told you this at an early age.

[Comptine]

Unfortunately, this is a VERY common held belief/myth that even some doctors believe. A lot of people associated body hair with men's facial hair which are two completely different types. The focilles are different so they have different properties. I read this online and in several magazines. Here are some sites that can explain it better than me.

You know what. Responding to the question of the topic, you can try electrolysis... or laser something treatment. It's expensive but it gets rid of the hair for like...ever.

[ichiban]

if you tweeze your legs, yes itll take forever but the hair will grow back slooowly. last summer i was really bored and i started tweezing and it took like, two months to grow back. but sometimes it hurts, lol. try veet, i heard it works well

[enyceXaddiction]

i know what oyu mean. you can wax/tweeze it?

[avalon*]

Veet smells weird. I got one today..haha.

uh i did search

[lilnatcat]

Erm.........well now there's one that u use thig kinda gel, and suprisingly u don't use a sharp razor/blade to shave the hair off! Its just this plastic thingy! U do it like normal and it comes off! I saw it on the ad. I think the brand was VEETS.

Don't want to wax it off?
If your willing to pay for it, get laser hair removal then!!!!

[lilJdawg]

That's what you get when you shave.

[lilJdawg]

There maybe some other way. I heard they can remove hair electrically with an electric tweezer. I saw that on VH1. They did it on some celebrity.

[*danielle_x3*]

Shaving:
PROS: you can do it yourself any time
CONS: once you start shaving, hair comes back nubby and potentially thicker. razor burns, shaving nicks, and other razor mishaps can also cause discomfort.

Waxing:
PROS: removes hair for up to a month or more
CONS: ripping hair out by its roots with hot wax is very painful. having it professionally done can be expensive.

Tweezing/Plucking: Pulling hair out one by one with a pair of tweezers. It hurts for a second or two.
PROS: You do it yourself.
CONS: It can hurt at the time. It's only temporary.

Depilatory: A cream or gel that you put on the area where you want hair removed. It burns, melts, and otherwise damages the hair roots. Then, you wash the stuff and the hair off.
PROS: you do it yourself and the result is a very smooth, hairless area that lasts longer than shaving.
CONS: it can burn or leave the skin area red if the skin is sensitive. It smells bad, even the stuff labeled "fresh scent".

Bleaching: Chemically lightening the color of hair. Usually used only for facial hair.
PROS: doesn't involve removing the hair, so you don't have to deal with how the hair will come back.
CONS: It is a chemical, so the skin may get irritated. It doesn't remove the hair, if there is alot of it, even if it's blonde, it may be visible. May actually make hair more visible against dark skin.

Electrolysis: Technically, it's when a qualified practitioner inserts a filament, or long thin needle, into each individual hair follicle and zaps it with an electric current. This is the only permanent, or nearly permanent, method of hair removal. It's pretty expensive, though
PROS: hair removal is eventually permanent.
CONS: each session is very expensive, the treatment is fairly painful, and you need to find a good practitioner in order for the work to be permanent and to avoid slip-ups that can cause scarring

Laser Hair Removal: Invented in 1995, laser hair removal involves waxing first to remove hair, then rubbing a carbon-based lotion on the skin, then passing a laser over the area. Follicles are damaged, but not the skin. It is said to work best for people with light skin and dark hair. It is veeery expensive.
PROS: near- permanent hair removal
CONS: thousands of dollars so you won't grow hair. an inexperienced technician may burn your skin.

I hope this helps you ^_^
