I tried to remove hair from my legs, but they grow back thicker, I shaved, used cream…read details?

Question

I have black hair which really shows, people even advice me 2 remove the hair, how embarrassing.
I can’t wax or thread 4 some reasons, THE ONLY OPTIONS I HAVE are to either shave or use hair removal cream, and I tried both, they made my hair grow back thicker, what to do now? Shaving is better or using cream (I tried Veet, even Nair, all gave same result)

Also give me the method for shaving.
I know they only look thicker, they don’t grow thicker, but same point right?
THANKS A LOT!

Answer 1

I would really recommend waxing, but you've stated that you don't want to go that route - so let's talk shaving.

You can buy shaving cream specially made for your legs and it is good (sometimes I use it, and sometimes I just use lots of soap). Use a new razor every 4 or 5 shaves to keep it from getting dull and missing hairs. Shave in the shower, the steam will open your pores and you'll get a much closer shave. Make sure your legs are very wet, apply the shaving cream (or lots of soap). Begin at the ankle and using long, continuous strokes, shave up to your knee all around the bottom part of your leg. Then use short strokes and shave upwards all around your knee. Then use long strokes beginning at the knee and going up the thigh, again all around.
You'll need to shave every day if your hair is as thick as you say....just consider it a daily part of your grooming schedule. It is important to moisturize your legs after all that shaving. It is easy for shaved skin to appear dry. Here is what I do: when you get out of the shower, do not dry your legs off. Pour several drops of baby oil in the palms of your hands and massage it into your legs. It binds with the moisture and soaks into your skin (I promise it isn't greasy or oily).

Best of luck. I hope this helps.

Answer 2

You really should try to start waxing it.. Waxes normally take the hair away for about 1 month. The more you wax it the lighter and thinner the hairs get. Sometimes they never come back.

Answer 3

New York Day Spa recommends that you wax your legs. You can try and practice on your own until you get better. Her is a link for self waxing kits: http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P6878&cm_mmc%3dus_search-_-GG-_-br%20blis-_-waxing%20kit. Or you can do a general search on any search engine for self waxing kits.

Answer 4

just wax gives you rest for the next 6wks!
and your hair grows back thinner.

Answer 5

Electrolysis will help, but it may talk several treatments. Try Epi-Lady hair removal products.

Good luck with your situation.
