how young is too young to start shaving your legs?

Everyone matures at different rates so I think as soon as they are really hairy and making them insecure or whatever.

Dr Mel says: Thinking of shaving? There’s no right or wrong here. Most women don’t - but it’s totally up to you. Let’s weigh-up the pros and cons.\n\nShaving: the bad news\n1. Shaving involves razors which are sharp and can slip. Ouch!\n2. Even expert shaving can leave us with a rash.\n3. When hairs grow back, they are stubbly and can be in growing.\n4. The follicles of the hairs can get inflamed causing spots, called folliculitis.\n5. Pubes are there for a reason: they protect our bits and keep them warm.\n6. Sharing razors is dangerous and can spread infections.\n\nShaving: the good news\n1. We look fabulous in our new high leg bikini.\nSix against one. Hmm.\n\nIf you decide to shave, go carefully, stick to your bikini line (not between your legs) and use a new razor. Or why not save it for the two weeks in the year when being a bikini babe is essential?

shave.  shave everyday for a few years.  everytime you shave those hairs they will want to grow back thicker, and you can stimulate poors to begin new growth.

Hi.  This is really a good question.  I remember when I was about 11 years old, I noticed that I was 'smelling' late in the day, before I took  my shower in the evening.  My mom put me on deodorant pronto.  Usually this event happens when a boy begins puberty and sometimes it's onset is early.  \n\nIt's great that you son is already doing this, in my opinion it's a good time to start treating him as a young man.  I began shaving at 13 - I mean I had whiskers at this age, so be ready to support him as he becomes a maturing man.  You're a good mom for just asking.  I definitely vote for allowing him use of deodorant.  Also it seems boy are sexually maturing earlier theses days.  I saw a 14 year old with a full beard the other day -  Good luck!

Ive had this problem before too, Try the new product out called Veet, its like a nair, yet in a foam like form. It works great, and causes less bad effects as waxing, shaving or using nair would.\n\nIf shaving I know, use a 4 blade, shaver instead of a single or double, its a softer, yet great way to shave hair way down to the root, and have softer legs longer. Try this.\n\nAnother neat trick is shaving with conditioner as your lather. Its gental on your skin, and leaves your legs looking sexy and shiny.

I gave my little brother this advice when he was 11 years old... it worked great for him.\n\nDo sit ups, push ups, and jumping jacks, EVERY morning when you wake up, and EVERY night before you go to bed.\n\nEat decently, healthy.\n\nInvest in a 'beard trimmer' they call them that because if it said pubic hair trimmer people would steal them instead of buy them... TRIM your body hair, do not shave it... your going for a natural look.\n\nIf it is growing wierd or spacely, just shave the hair off.

The general advice is that boys should not begin serious weightlifting until they are at least 16 - 18 years old.  Weightlifting at a young age can cause problems while the body is still growing and in puberty.  Hope this helps!

When i started shaving my legs\ni also didnt tell my mom coz i kknew she thought i was too young (11) but shed given me veet for underarm hair so i used that on my legs as well. She only found out about 6 mnths later and was pretty disppointed in me. I think you should tell her, and she cant make you stop shavin coz youve already started. Its much easier livin without secrets. She wont kill you for becoming a young woman...good luck!

I think 13 sounds good.  Stay away from shaving as long as you can because it leaves your legs horrible after years of shaving.  Waxing is a good idea because the hair takes a long time to come in.  Also, don't wax above your knees unless you have to.  Try to keep it below your knees if you can.  I recommend waxing for a person that hasn't shaved yet.  Try that or Nair(a cream hair remover).  I used that the first time.

I shave my legs. \nShaving-this is the easiest way that I know of. It is painless (unless you cut yourself). The only downfall is that if you have darker hair like me that grows fast, then you will probably have to shave every day. \nWax-i believe that this lasts two weeks to one month. this costs money becasue you need to get it done somewhere. usually like a salon or spa place. this is the most painful method that I know of. If you are going to get a waxing, then you have to grow your hair out longer. thats the only downfall other than the pain. I have always wanted to try it. \nIf you want to go cheaper, you can get the Nair roll-on wax. You can take this one home and do it yourself. You should be able to get it from any drug store.\nOther Methods-hair removal lotions like Nair and Veet\nNair-don't use it. many women have an allergic reaction and it smells bad. \nVeet-I have been wanting to use it. It lasts twice as long as shaving and I don't think that it smells. \n\nI hope that I have given you the answer that you want! :D

When facial hair is present.  Or, whenever they want.  It couldnt hurt to shave hair that is not there.

Stop shaving!!! If you plan on getting waxed...do not shave! To get all the hairs pulled from waxing you need AT LEAST 3-5 weeks worth of hair...depending on how fast your hair grows. It would be pointless and impossible to get waxed and be freshly shaven.

As long as your body is still growing, it is not too late to start.\nThere is more of a problem of starting too early.  I know that the trend is to start very very early, but many of those young girls who have now made it into adulthood have physical problems and all of them have horror stories.\nIf you are interested in competition, you might be better off waiting until almost high school to start.  Performances are always the best when the athlete “gets into the zone.”  The problem with very young girls is that their body is still growing rapidly and “the zone” keeps moving.

We're in the same boat. My mom never told me what to do either. But on my own I decided to shave it. I only do when it's the summer or if it gets really long and itchy. And only on really special other occasions do I shave it. It's just a personal choice you'll have to decide on your own. Either way, whatever you chose will be fine. You are you, after all!

Usually when no more armpit/facial hair comes in.  This can be anywhere from 18-30 years old.\n\nAfter 18 or 19 any growth will be minimal.
