i have just started shaving my legs but got razor burn so decided to try veet. i currently have razor burn and wondered if i can use veet now or do i need to wait for it to go away. Also, do i have to wait to use veet, e.g. let hair grow to certain legnth first.

Wait for the razor burn to go away before you use the Veet. Otherwise, it could be painful. And, no, your hair doesn't need to be a certain length before you use Veet.

Veet will work on any length of hair, but I would be cautious about using it if you currently have razor burn. Veet could irritate your skin even more. I would wait for the razor burn to go away before using Veet. And be careful, some people with sensitive skin have reactions to hair removing creams, so I would highly recommend testing it on a small spot before using it on your entire legs.

wait for the burn to clear up. You may not be using the right razor or the right shave cream. Don't shave with soap, and use a razor with atleast 3 blades. Veet can irritate skit, so do a test on a small area, like the inside of your elbow, 24 hrs before you try your legs. If you get a rash, don't use it.

I would wait to use Veet until the razor burn is gone, because it will just cause more irritation. As far as letting the hair get longer, just use it when you would normally need to shave, but don't be surprised if you can still feel stubble. It only works for me on the finer hair on my upper leg, not on the more coarse hair below my knee. Also, make sure not to leave it on longer than recommended.

Definately wait for the razor burn to go away. Yikes! I like Nair over Veet.

As someone said - Veet contains chemicals that you don't want coming in contact with raw skin and by that I mean - OW! Veet also works best if you have about 1/4 inch of hair growth so you may want to wait.

OW! Wait for your legs to heal... never do anything else to them when yo have razor burn.. let them recover.
Then try the veet- in a very small patch and wait 24 to see if you get a rash or irritation. That stuff bother me but you might be fine- best to test a small part instead of risking bothering your entire leg.
You also may want to consider waxing- it hurts and little messy but it last longer- check out a beauty supply shop for a wax pot, wax, muslim stripes and sticks. I like the Gigi system and I like the pale green wax. I had my legs professional done once and then copied it her techniques at home.

yes you have to wait till the razor burn goes away and you also have to wait till your hair gets long enough to use veet. like 2-3 days w/o shaving.
