In mine too, but only after I was sure she understood the societal dynamics that makes shaving a desirable behavior for women, and after I was sure she didn't prefer me to deal with the people who should put a stop to the teasing and the persona comments from her peers.

Also, the shaving would happen in a way that's consistent with our family values - frugally, cruelty-free products only, at home, not at a salon.[/quote]

Waxing kind of sucks because you actually have to let the hair grow before you wax.  So you have to be hairy for a bit before you can wax.  And the hair grows back in stages, so she'll have random hairs popping everywhere. [/quote]

This is why I don't understand waxing.  The first time, sure, it's great - all that hair gone in one fell swoop.  But then, as you say, you have to allow the hair to grow back in long enough to wax again.  And there are always different stages of hair growth, so you're constantly having to wax.  What a pain.  I did laser as an adult and it has changed my life.  But for my young daughter, I think we'll stick to shaving.[/quote]
