The hair on my legs has gotten so dark (black) prickly and noticable. There are brown spots all over my legs. I never dare to even wear shorts! What can i do? i always shave them with a razor but the come back 2 hours later. ive gotten alot of ingrowns as well. I know i should try to wax them, but i'm too embarrassed to go into a salon and ask them to look at my ugly legs. seriously, they are really ugly looking. i'm yellow with black hair on my legs, rather think and wavy. nothing looks ugilier. i seriously need help, i cant always be wearing jeans during the summer

i've tried buying wax from a store and tried waxing them myself, but i think my hair is too thick that it wont come off. My skin is really sensitive so after i wax or shave, red dots appear all over and my skin becomes very itchy

don't be ashamed to go into the salon to wax them, that's what salon's are for.

Try taking a long hot shower to soften up your skin first before you shave and then use shaving cream with aloe vera. It makes shaving easier.
You can also use an exfoliating scrub or pad to buff away the dull, dry and dead skin. Make sure to use plenty of moisturising lotion when you're finished - and if you want, slather on the lotion before bed, then put on some really tight and thick long johns. It feels gross, but trust me, all that extra lotion works wonders.
In the morning, take another warm shower and buff again.
Hopefully this will even out the splotchiness.
And as for the salons, they've seen EVERYTHING, so don't feel embarassed.

I think your best bet would be to go to a salon to get them waxed. You would of course have to grow them out a bit, at the rate you say your hair grows you’d probably only need to grow the hair out a week.
Also you shouldn’t worry about with the beautician thinks, I’m pretty sure they have seen it all. Hey that’s why they are called beauticians’ to make others ‘yourself’ beautiful. Oh also before you go you might want to take 2 pain relievers.

You shouldn't be hesitant about going into a spa to have your legs waxed, they do it all of the time and I'm sure they've seen worse. You might feel more comfortable calling first and asking for a recommendation. They should know how to help you.
