Shaving????????????????????????

Question

I want to tell my mom that I need to start shaving, the only thing is that I don't know how to tell her. I need some questions that I could ask her in the next coulple of days. It is hot the rest of the week so I need to wear some shorts. I am a girl too, so remember that. I am sooo embarressed when I wear shorts infront of my bf and I have alot of crap on my legs. PLEASE, I am BEGGING you on my knees to give me some questions I could tell my mom that I need to start shaving. You could also give me a few facts that I could tell her too??? Thanks!

Answer 1

i had the same prob only i didnt have a bf! u didnt say how old u r! but i started in 6th grade. i just asked my mom and at first she said no but i told her that
1) they r my own legs and i should b able 2 do what i want with them
2) im really embarassed 2 wear shorts
3) all my friends shave
4) it will make me more confident.
on the other hand my bffs mom let her start shaving the second she asked. if ur mom lets u have a bf then she will almost definitley let u shave ur legs. it really depends on the mom. but i hate to say, when u do shave, the hair grows back faster and thicker so id make it an almost daily routine. once u start shaving, u cant stop. u could tell her ull raise enough money to buy the razor and shaving cream too! just dont go to fast cuz u might cut urself and i did that in 6th grade and i still have a couple scars!!!!! lol! so b very careful. and also i recomend a mens razor cuz they r sharper yet less easy to cut urself with! its odd but i dont even feel a thing when im shaving. it doesnt feel like a blade! it feels like a peice of rubber or plactic or something! lol! well i hope this info helped! have a nice day!

ps. i often find it easier to ask in a note rather than in voice. i do this when i think my mom wont say yes. just ask the question and put a yes and no check box then a couple lines 4 ur mom to explain why she says yes or no!!! i think it works alot better.

Answer 2

when i first shaved my legs I just did it,But you should tell her "mom I am really embarrassed about the hair on my legs and I want to start wearing short for the summer so can you show me the right way to shave?" good luck girl!!

Answer 3

I will tell you how I approached this subject to my mom. I told her I was embarrassed about the hair on my legs, and she said i was too young to shave, so I asked if I could use Nair. That seemed to work! She bought me a bottle of Nair, and i had hairfree legs, and she didnt have to worry about me using a razor. I hope this helps! Be honest, and tell her how you really feel about it.

Answer 4

I'd say just start shaving, but be careful I don't want you to cut yourself. If you have money, you might want to buy some nair or other hair removal creams. Make sure you read the directions and do an allergy test. I don't know how old you are so be careful with either method.

Answer 5

Here's a comprehensive article about hair removal methods (pros/cons, myths, etc.): http://www.cosmeticscop.com/learn/hair.asp?ID=166

Shaving does not make the hair grow back any thicker or coarser.

Explain your feelings.

If your mom lets you have a bf, then you are probably old enough to shave your legs.

Answer 6

just ask her. tell her that it's gonna be summer soon and you want to wear short but you are embarressed, she should understand

Answer 7

ask her point blank to shave ur legs, tell her that its a confidence booster. no harm in it, so i dont really c da problem.Get some nair so its easier.

Answer 8

For god's sake... just ask her.
It can't be that hard!
Shaving is easy. I started in 6th grade.
How old are you?
Your mom will understand.

Answer 9

ummmmmm....doesn't your Mom shave HER legs?? Just show her your hairy legs and ask her for advice on what type of shaver, shaving cream, etc that she would recommend

Answer 10

Just shave, you don't need to ask.
