Answer 1

Some girls' leg hair grows faster than other girls--are you dark haired? I am, and that's why I always shave in the morning. I suggest taking your shower, and when you are done, let the tub fill up a couple of inches, turn off the shower and then sit in the steamy stall/tub and shave your legs. The warmth from the shower will keep your legs from getting goose bumpy, and the warm shower will have softened the hair on your legs--oh, and before shaving lather up one of those shower poofs and scrub your legs really good to make any ingrown hairs "pop up" from the skin so they get shaved off too. Another thing I can recommend is buying this lotion that keeps the hair from growing so fast. I will update my post in a minute with what it's called.

Here's the stuff I'm talking about.... http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=83121&catid=30159&trx=PLST-0-CAT&trxp1=30159&trxp2=83121&trxp3=1&trxp4=0&btrx=BUY-PLST-0-CAT

Answer 2

Shave in the morning. Some people just have to shave more often than others do to their personal body hair types. My older sister is a blonde and only has to shave once a week because her leg hair doesn't grow fast and is hard to see, but me on the otherhand, i'm a brunette and if i want my legs to be smooth, have to shave every day or to look decent every other day. Its just chemistry. You could have them waxed, but i hear its very expensive.

Answer 3

Shave in the morning or early afternoon and then you should be good to go. Hair grows overnight so that is what your doing wrong. Or you could just wax and not worry about it for a few days at all. Can you handle the pain?

Answer 4

Try using creams or hair dissolvers instead of shaving. I have very sensitive facial hair and I only shave once a week.

I have used hair dissolve cream for chest hair photo shoots.

You will probably find that the creams do just as good a job, without the irritation.

Answer 5

I shave mine in the n ight too. You might be doing it too fast, try slowing down and taking more time on it. I read somewhere that the best time to do it is 5 minutes into your shower because the hair is more upright then and easier to shave. After youre done, use moisturizer to keep them soft. I shave mine every 2 days, but thats just me.

Answer 6

I prefer to wax, but if I have to shave I do it in the morning.

Also, the lotions that claim to be hair minimizer's do work, but it takes a while. If you use them every day for a month to 6 weeks you will notice a difference. My husband actually buys the stuff for me, he loves it!

Answer 7

After i shave my legs at night. I put a really good cream on them and when i wake up in the morning my legs are still as smoothe.

Answer 8

try another razor. but have u ever heard of a man having a 5 o'clock shadow? It's the same thing- your legs will not stay silky smooth for 8 hours

Answer 9

Don't shave .Wax instead.When you shave you only cut the hair even with the skin.When waxing you get the hair out incl. the root and after a while you will have less hair on your legs.

Answer 10

Shave them in the morning instead.
