I don't want to shave in case the hair grows back thicker, but i don't want a painful solution becasue i can't stand waxing. I just want some natural solution. Could you help?

you can use some natural things FOR shaving but I don't know about IN PLACE OF shaving
for example:
go here (the article's from a feb 2006 reader's digest issue)
http://www.rd.com/content/buff-your-shoes-with-a-banana-and-17-other-extraordinary-uses-for-ordinary-things/
and scroll down to the 6th bullentin (at the bottom) where you'll see "emergency shaving cream," and suggests that you can use butter as one
also, if in the end you can't find you know any kind of a "natural solution," I suggest you shave the hair on any part of your body the way that the hair grows
for ex: if the hairs on your legs grow downwards, which they do I'm sure, don't shave upwards
otherwise, in the long-term, they might stick "up" (upwards) you know what I mean or at least I think they could possibly do so
also, try to shave the hairs like only in one way, if you want them to look consistent once they grow out again
what I mean is, don't have one stroke go diagonally on your leg and then shave in a straight direction, because then once your hairs grow out again, some might actually grow out straight and others would grow like diagonally
i hope you can understand what I'm trying to say
so anyway
yeah
I was once concerned about "thickness" as well
you can also check out this if you want
tom's of maine likes to make environmentally and animal friendly products "natural"
http://www.tomsofmaine.com/toms/product.asp?dept%5Fid=550&pf%5Fid=BW%2DNSC
i'm not sure if drugstores like cvs or rite aid sell them, although i do know that they these drugstores do sell tom's of maine's deodarants and toothpastes/mouthwashes, which I support and buy
if they don't have this "natural" shaving cream at the drugstores, you can check out drugstore.com
hoped this has somewhat helped
ok, bye!

Wax constantly, if it doesn't make your hair go away, at least it will make it grow thinner and/or more disperse. It might hurt the first or second time, but you'll get used to it. I did. I've never shaved, and my hair is barely visible now.
Try Sally Hansen waxing strips. Maybe it'll take you more tries, since your hair is already thick. Yes I know, beauty might hurt sometime. So good luck.

u could use hair remover like sally Hanson or Nair, I've tried Epil-Stop before and it works pretty well and it smells good, oh and theres this 1 stuff that sometimes comes with it but doesn't always but its called Epil-Stop too and u put it on your legs after you use the remover and it gets rid of the chemicals so that ur legs don't get all red and irritated but as for natural solution i don't think there is any so for natural i guess ur gonna just have to go with hairy legs

Derma Nude vanishing creme hair remover prevents ingrown hairs and removes hair to the root painlessly! After hair removal apply daily the soothing gel retardant to small areas, or the spray mist retardant to large areas to reduce growth. When used as a daily maintence the soothing gel or spray mist restores the ph balance to the skin revealing baby-smooth skin, as your hair grows back softer and finer. After 1-4 months of daily use, dramatic improvement will occur. Over time hair growth should completely stop, with ongoing daily use of the soothing gel or spray mist retardants.

your hair will not grow back thicker if you shave.... it grows back the same..
waxing only hurst the first time or so, then you get used to it.
try buying Nads hair remover, little less painfull than wax

Shaving is fine, and if you keep up with it it really won't matter if the hair gets thicker.
I like to use nair or veet..but you have to be careful with those things.

have you tired using scented nair?? you can buy it at target. its just like a lotion you rub on and then you wash away the hair. it gives you the same results as shaving but lasts almost as long as waxing does. if you try it make sure you use SCENTED. normal smells terrible

hair removal creams like nair. They don't work that well though. Or you could get a lazer surgery. The hair won't grow back!

naturally you have hair so sorry there is no natural way for your hair to fall out unless its on your head of course. i would suggest laser removal.

don't use VEET.. it burns let me tell you.
But seriously.
Shaving.
I wont grow back thicker.
And if it does..
Shave again?
It's not that big of a deal, shaving.
Just shave everyday.
Seriously.. Take a shower everyday.
If you don't that's gross.
