Ladies!How often do you have to shave your legs?

Question

I find my self shaving my legs like every third day,and my husband says that when you get older like mid 20's your hair grows more quickly .Is that true? It must be b/c when I was a teen girl,I never remember my hairs on my legs growing back so quick.I used to shave once a week,and now that I'm 24 I have to shave every third day! Is it that way with you too,if you're close to my age?

Answer 1

It probably has something to do with your hormones. You lose estrogen as you get older so you become more masculine.

Sounds gross right? Just think about all the little old ladies with chin hair and massive moustaches! Oh what we have to look forward too!


Try some of that Veet Mouse with the bladeless razor, I usually alternate between that and shaving it seems to make me shave less often, I think when the hair gross back after the Veet it is less prickly so I don't have to shave it as soon.

Goodluck.

Answer 2

I'm only 19 and I remember being in grade 9 gym class and once a week we'd all compare our legs and I was always the one being accused of shaving the day before. so I was 14 then and now I feel like I have to shave every other day...its annoying!!!
so I guess maybe the hairs do grow back faster as you get older.

try waxing if shaving isn't working for you...I'll warn you that some home kits don't work...or maybe wax just doesn't work at all for me. I've tried sally hansen and nair and neither work for me....but it could be the hairs are too short....

Answer 3

About once or twice a week, usually, unless it's shorts weather. I've been doing it this way since I was a teen, and I'm 27.

Technically, I believe as you get older, your hair gets thicker, and so it seems to grow quicker. Also it could be because of your diet. Some foods and vitamins can cause it to grow a lot quicker. Prenatal pills caused mine to, but it also improved my hair (on my head) and my nails.

Also, just a sidenote, a good razor that cuts closer can make a difference too. I've noticed when I use a really good one, I can go another day or two without shaving, unlike the cheap disposable ones, where after a day or two, I just can't stand it anymore.

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

Im 26 and I find that my hair grows slower the older I get. I shave every 2/3 or so days. But in high school I shaved every day.

Answer 5

I usually only have to shave my legs like once every 9 or 10 days! I've heard the more you shave your legs the faster your hair grows

Answer 6

My hair grows greater slowly now that i'm older, so I in basic terms shave as quickly as each and every week, yet i can not stand rubbing lotion on my legs while there is stubble, so I do it while i think that. considering the fact that I in no way, and that i advise in no way, positioned on hose, I ought to shave my legs. Plus living in a warm climate makes wearing long skirts a misery. My underarms I wax each and every 2-3 months, yet I surely have little hair there.

Answer 7

im 14 and i shave it when i need to, like if i have to go swimming today, then id shave my legs the night before or in the day is i had time. or if i had PE in school then id have to wear (very short) shorts so i'd shave my legs the day before then coz i wont have time in the morning. or if i decide to wear a skirt or something then i shave. also i have heard that your hair goes thicker every single time you shave =( and if i lived in a hot country, where id wear skirts, shorts more often then i'd have to shave everyday as my hair groes so fast at such a young age! i also have black thick hair! how bad is that? imagine what i'll look like when i'm a granny... with my dark moustache and beard.. eww... great to think thats what my future holds for me! lmao..

Answer 8

I shave my legs every week and your hair does grow quickly by your mid 20s.Also every time you shave your legs it grows back much thicker hair.

Answer 9

I never have to shave my legs. I CHOOSE to shave my legs ever 3 or 4 days. During winter, though, I shave them a bit less. I'm almost always in pants so people rarely see my legs. Even at the gym, I prefer to wear pants over shorts so my legs aren't seen there. Since I'm single and not dating at the moment, the only one who has to look at my legs is me.

Answer 10

I just turned 32 and I SHOULD shave everyday or at the least every other day.... in the summer I do shave EOD but in the winter, I shave when I feel like it. Hubby don't mind so that's kewl. :o)
