It takes hours for the burning to end! I can't handle it. I'm not sure how many people have this problem. I wish they would make a hair removing lotion you know like a cruelty free version of Nair. It wouldn't hurt then! I tried parissa wax strips but they hurt my super sensitive skin so much!! It takes hours for the burning to end! I can’t handle it.

I’d say it’s a tough decision for you whether to switch to shaving — you should definitely try it out to see if you like it (if you can convince your mom), especially since you seem to be having some sort of allergic reaction to wax, which seems a little worrying to me. There’s also Nair — not that I would recommend that, since it smells awful, takes forever, and I don’t think it’s cruelty-free . . .

I’m 13 years old, almost 14. I’ve never shaved, always waxed. It hasn’t been very long since I started but I am already tired of it. It doesnt hurt too bad anymore, but I hate having to let it grow out since I play alot of sports and gym at school and stuff, people see my legs alot. At this point in my life, the girls are starting to talk about shaving and that, and feeling eachothers legs. I just dont like it anymore. My mom insists that I wax my legs. But as much as I would like to try shaving, I’m not sure I want my hair feeling really coarse and growing back quicker and that. I just really would LOVE to get it permenatly removed, but it’s exspensive and I’m not sure if I’m too young to do it or not. I hope not, cause I really want to get it done. I also don’t enjoy the waxing because I get these type of burn spots on my legs. They turn very red at the beginning, then they turn a brownish color. They dry up a bit then go away. It takes a while for it to go away, and I don’t like how they look. My legs never look smooth or soft. They always look rough and dry. While all of my friends legs dont. I was just wondering what your opinion was about getting the Laser Hair Removal or some type of permenant hair removal was if you know anything about it. I would love to get it done. Please answer soon. Thanks for your time !</p> Hi, I was just wondering how old you were? I’m 13 years old, almost 14. I’ve never shaved, always waxed.

They do seem to work for a lot of people though — you should definitely try them out for yourself if you’re interested. It’s quite possible I just received a bad batch.
