Shave or not shave.

I'm not sure if I should keep shaving, I've been shaving for 6 month, and the hair on my legs have been growing really fast and a lot thicker and I really dislike it's what should I do??

This might not be what you want to do but this is what I do. I have a boyfriend who doesn't care if I'm prickly LOL, so I grow my leg hair out to where its noticeable but not like OMG WHAT IS ALL THAT, , then I shave, it helps and you get a smoother shave.

That's what shaving does to your hair once you start shaving unfortunately. I wish adults would tell this to their young girls so they are prepared.

Tina, the more often you shave, the quicker the hair will grow back. Try to give yourself a shaving routine. It'll 'train' your hair into growing back over a longer period of time. I do mine once a week. Also get yourself some good moisturiser and slather that stuff on like its no tomorrow lol. That'll make your skin feel smoother and the hair will feel less noticeable to you. In eternal shaves, if I need to wear a skirt or dress then I wear tights/pantyhose for extra coverage if I feel I need it.

Alternatively, if you don't like the idea of waxing, then hair removal cream is a great option. I use Veet for sensitive skin on my bikini area (and my legs when in at a music festival for a few days and can't take a razor).

I hope that all helps :)

That's should say "IN BETWEEN shaves" not "eternal" lol.

Louise had some great tips. Also try using a men's razor, it's a much closer shave :)

Ooh yes, thanks Lizzy, I forgot to say I use men's disposable razors. As Lizzy said you get a much closer shave. I also find I rarely cut myself on them if I use the ones with the moisturiser strip on them :)
