I think I'm ready to start shaving my arms/legs... but i've been waxing for almost a year. My mom waxes and has never shaved. How can i convince here to let me start shaving. I really don't like waxing because it hurts like hell.... and can't get done every other day?

Just respectfully tell her that you'd like to try shaving. I can't imagine she'd object to letting you decide what to do with your own body.

I think you should be waxing because shaving is like hell if you shave today and the next day you will have hair coming of your legs and you can never have smooth legs so if i were you i would wax even though it hurts like hell

I have done both, shaving and waxing. Shaving is the least painfull and the quickest. Just explain to your mom that you don't want to go through the pain any longer. she has to understand your feelings and take your well bing into consideration. If she doesn't we ll then the only thing I can say is go to a friends and shave there! I know it's sneaky but if she finds out she'll understand.

tell your mam/mom that you want ot try it out that you think you are old enough to and that waxing hurts so you want to try shaving
you could always just buy it yourself im not sure what ages you can buy shavers though in usa
just remeber when you shave to use shaving gel and to moisturise, by the way waxing is supposed to be better than shaving cos when you shave hair grows back quick but ive always hsvaed cos i dont want the pain of waxing

You can tell her that you would like to try shaving out and if you dont like it then you will go back to waxing. Explain to her why you want to try it. Good Luck, hope this helps.

I think it is better if you keep waxing, it is much better than shaving. I tried both and shaving get the hair grow faster, thinker and harder. Waxing is smoother and hair won't grow for longer time.
And by keeping waxing your hair will get thiner and softer unlike shaving which makes the hair gets harder with the time

oh i had to do the same exact thing!!! what i said i was just like "mom, waxing just takes to long, and i know i woul dhave to shave almost everyday, but it would just be so much easier for me."
oh and hunny. if i were you. i would keep waxing your arms. because once you shave them, your gonna get major stubble coming in black. not a good idea!

Just tell her "Mom, I'm ready to start shaving, and to stop waxing." Hopefully she'll let you.

Talk to your mom about either buying Nair or a razor because you don't like waxing. Tell her how much it hurts. The only way she'll know is if you talk to her.

Why would you not be allowed to shave if you're allowed to wax?
Just present your case to her as un-emotionally as possible. Just the facts -- show her that it'll save money or something like that. Whatever you do, do NOT whine.
