Are you supposed to shave your whole leg(upper and lower) or just the part below the knee? When should I start

Answer 1

I only shave below the knee. Be very careful if this is your first time. Make sure to use shaving gel or really soap up. The first time I shaved I took off a layer of skin, I don't remember what I used, but it was not the right thing, it hurt.

Answer 2

Start with just the lower. If the hair on your thighs is really dark, go ahead and do that too. If you are young enough to ask the question of when you should start, then maybe you should consult your parents. Then again, I am a blonde who didn't need to start shaving my legs until I was 15, and I do not shave above the knee.

Answer 3

You start when that silly hair becomes long and noticeably hairy.... I know your looking right now huh? Only shave from the knee down... when you get older you want your legs to be soft on the upper legs, not stubbly. So leave that area alone. Be Careful and good Luck searching for your Answer.

Answer 4

Do whatever you want. Not really much of an issue. I think most of us did it the first time because we wanted to feel grown up... like a young boy wanting to use his dad's shaver. It just doesn't matter... I haven't shaved in 3 months... course, my leg hair is very soft and thin so it's not that noticable... I'd probably shave more often if it was stubbly.

Answer 5

Injuries?
You only have to shave the part that is going to show, so if you wear skirts/dresses below the knee, then that's all you have to shave. On the other hand, if you plan on showing more to a guy (taking it off) or by wearing shorts or a swim suit, it is going to look petty silly if you have dark hair. Usually the whole leg or none of it.

Answer 6

You should start when it's noticeable and bothers you. Usually when it starts to turn darker with puberty. I don't always do the upper leg as it's very light, fine hair that is not that noticable but once in awhile I will because it gets longer and then a person can notice it. It's all about what makes you feel pretty.

Shave It High and Tight Baby Start Now

Answer 8

Hmm...Injuries section? This only applies if you mess up.
Anyways...I would say go ahead and shave when you start getting self conscious about it.
Shave as much as what clothes you wear. If you wear short shorts, shave high...If you only wear shorts to your knees and never wear a bathing suit, shave to your knees.

Answer 9

You should shave whatever you personally feel needs to be shaved, and whenever you feel like you need to.
