When are you old enough?

since i'm a little younger.. i actually started my period when i was 10 and also started shaving then as well. too freakin bad my boobs didn't really develop then too! lol

but just don't let your daughter do what i did.. because of peer pressure, plus where i lived and a tthe time it was totally in.. i shaved my eyebrows off in the 6th grade.. i was 11 but im going to be 21 and its still hasn't grown back the way it used to be...


i think the veet system is awesome .. now i just prefer waxing.. gets rid of all the dead skin cells and keeps the hairs thin and doesn't grow back as fast and also no ingrown hairs.. yes i wax everything ..

i tried waxing one time and the pain!!! i've gotten my eyebrows waxed once but they are blonde so you really can't see them...my daughter's are getting darker and she looks like man eyebrow's she let me pluck about two hairs one time and wouldn't let me near her with the tweezers she runs!!! i told her we can get them waxed at the salon but she doesn't want to do that just yet. how do you wax your "area" without screaming? the one time i tried i had blood coming out of my pores and it raised the veins up on my bikini area-you know where it peeks out from your panties??? maybe i did it wrong...but i would love to wax my legs cuz i hate to shave...i have very fine blonde hair on my legs and no underarm hari-it never grew-my mom and friends are so jealous...hopefully my daughter's won't have to shave under their arms either i have heard it is no fun at all so i consider myself blessed!!! any hints or products let me know....thanks a billion!!

My mom let me shave my legs at 12. I remember in jr. high my best friend was not allowed to shave her legs. She was Pentecostal and wasn't allowed to wear pants either. The kids used to tease her so bad, she would burst out into tears. i used to stick up for her. It was so hurtful. I think if your daugher is being teased, she should be allowed to do it, so long as you supervise her to make sure she doesn't hurt herself. Peer pressure is rough but being teased is even worse.

the first time i got the area waxed lol it didn't hurt only one part maybe.. lol.. but i guess it depends where you get it done, who does, how good they are and what kind of wax they use. i had no blood on any of my pores whatsoever and no veins.. it was just smooooooth as a baby's behind! lol..

and yes you are VERY blessed to not have underarm hair.. i hate it.. soo much

I just thought of something, but don't know if it will work.....when I started shaving my legs I started with a razor with a blade. We didn't have the disposalable then, so cuts and razor burns were done easily. Maybe an electric razor would work for her first time...has anyone used one for their first time?

Yes! An electric razor is a great idea! When I first started shaving after my 5th grade year, I used an electric razor. My mom didn't want to worry about me cutting myself.
