Nair for leg hair? Or tips for removing initial hair?

[Anonymous]

I remember reading on here about a “safer” Nair-type product (may have even been Nair) for sensitive skin that actually works. I can’t remember what the product was but it didn’t burn skin or smell horrible and actually removed hair.

DD desperately wants to shave her legs, but the initial removal is proving to be difficult—she’s pretty hairy! No matter what I try—razors and thick cream, razors and thin cream, her dads hair clippers, even—nothing is removing the hair! It’s the most insane thing I’ve ever seen!

I’m having trouble believing a good quality multi-blade razor won’t remove the hair. It may take a couple passes but it will work.

What do you mean nothing is removing the hair? She shaves and it grows back the next day?

Has she looked on ebay/poshmark/etc for those discontinued shave minimizing gels? Does she let the Nair sit, then take a brand new (still sharp) Quattro (4 blade) blade to it? Try the tough beard kind.

I wish I was making it up. I’m rubbing her raw trying to remove all the hairs. It’s not working.

We are attempting to shave for the first time. I’ve see a particular chemical remover recommended before but I can’t find it here now.

We’ve been using the good Venus razors but she’s getting raw. There are still long hairs. And it’s like they are too flat for her dads electric clippers to remove, if that makes sense.

Like I said, I don’t really believe you. I have PCOS and immense amounts of coarse long leg hair. It took some time to shave all my fully grown out leg hair but it’s pretty straightforward. I’m not sure what you’re doing wrong.

She’s turning raw from the razor. You don’t have to believe me or even comment. Why would I lie about this? Do you know the remover that has been suggested here before by chance?

If the hair was really as thick as you’re claiming, you’re going to need to change blades a few times while shaving. After every pass, rinse the razor fully to make sure you’ve removed the shave cream/hair. I would also use a shave oil to soften the hair.

Given that you’re saying you’re rubbing her legs raw, you need to take a break and let her legs heal a day or two. Do not put a chemical on raw skin.

I’m very hairy, and the only time I’ve had trouble shaving is when the hair is too long. If that’s the problem, get a small pair of scissors and cut it, then you should be able to shave and maintain with a razor, as long as you keep it from getting so long.

Sounds like a good candidate for laser to me.

I don’t like the idea of permanent removal for a minor. What if she decides in adulthood she wants to be a man. She’d probably want leg hair.

Wax it? I mean I have never heard of hair that couldn’t be cut with a razor (even my husbands 2-week “beard”)

If she's truly the Sawquatch you describe that a five blade men's razor won't make a dent it won't be permanent.

Are you using a fresh razor each time? Don’t use a disposable razor. Try Venus Gillette smooth. And you don’t need to get it all in one time. Try once, and then try again a week later. Eventually you will catch all of the with rubbing her raw.
