Girls from birth are fixed in the patterns of beauty established in women. They can see in their mothers how they pluck their eyebrows, how their legs are hairless because they pluck them in different ways ... there are many things that girls see in their mothers or in society and that as they grow up, they will imitate in order to feel just as beautiful without hair in unsuitable areas. So, it's a good idea to know the best ways for girls to start waxing.
One of the things girls don't like about puberty is that all the hair begins to appear in the armpits, on the legs, and even on the face. Hair removal is a big concern for many people because although in our society it is something accepted, in other countries they prefer to leave the hair where it grows. But if your daughter wants to wax, it is necessary to explain the most suitable methods for her according to her age and skin type.
With the arrival of summer, it is normal for your daughter to start telling you that she does not want to see the hair on her legs, or that she is ashamed to wear a tank top because you can see the hair in her armpits. Your daughter doesn't need to go through all that embarrassment, there are hair removal methods for them that can make you feel confident without having to think that you are showing hair that you don't want to show.
Beware of dangerous areas
If your daughter has areas on her body to wax where there are cuts, rashes, bumps or burns - also sunburns - she will not be able to remove the hair from these areas until it is fully healed. In addition, if your little one is going to swim, she will have to use sunscreen 24 hours after removing the hair from the areas of her body because she will be more sensitive and may even feel small irritations.
It is necessary never to opt for methods that may be aggressive for your daughter's skin since she has the most sensitive skin as a girl. Adult methods like laser hair removal are best avoided. Next I am going to explain the hair removal methods that can best go for your daughter's first waxes.
Shaved off
Shaving is the fastest, cheapest, easiest, and safest way to remove your teenage daughter's hair. Shaving cuts the hair as close to the body as possible. It is the most common and safest method of shaving your legs and armpits. Many people also shave their bikini area - the outside of your underwear - but don't shave elsewhere.
If the skin on your daughter's legs and armpits is strong enough to withstand this method, then it will be ideal for her. But the ideal is to buy razor blades that are prepared for sensitive skin, This will prevent them from getting irritated or itchy after waxing. When waxing you should do it with soapy legs, and it is also important that right after waxing you hydrate your legs well with a moisturizer.
Disadvantages of shaving
Shaving has drawbacks and is that if you do not shave carefully, cuts and even ingrown hairs or small bumps from skin erosion can be caused on the skin. You need to make sure that your daughter is using a clean razor suitable for her skin type. Waxing can take two to four days, depending on how much hair you have.
Hair removal machine
The hair removal machine is also a good option for teen girls hair removal. This method removes the hair by the roots so it will cost more for it to grow with the area without hair much longer. Today there are many electric or battery powered hair removal machines that adapt to people's skin needs, so there are also machines for more sensitive skin or those that tend to irritate more easily.
Disadvantages of hair removal machine
The hair removal machine can appear an attractive method because the hair is pulled out by the roots and the hair removal lasts much longer. But until the skin gets used to it, the first few times it can be extremely painful. It is not a method that everyone likes because it involves pain, so the pain threshold that your daughter has will play an important role.
Waxing
Waxing uses hot wax or cold wax to pluck hair from the roots. It also removes the top layer of dead skin and the skin will feel and look much prettier and smoother. Waxing can be done at home or at a beauty salon with professionals. The wax is spread on the skin and when it is allowed a moment to cool down (in the case of hot wax, in case of cold wax you have to wait for it to melt a little) and then the wax is removed and the hair that It has been stuck in it comes off too. It's like pulling out a band-aid. Waxing is generally used for facial hair, legs, arms, eyebrows, armpits, or bikini line.
Disadvantages of waxing
This method has drawbacks and waxing can be very painful and uncomfortable. It is often more painful if you try to do it yourself, but it can also be quite expensive to have a professional do it. Waxing can take three to four weeks but it is quite a painful method and not all teenage girls are able to handle this pain. As with the waxing machine, it will also depend on your pain threshold.
There are also other methods such as hair bleaching (although it does not remove it, it only makes the hair blonde, so it is a less used method) or depilatory creams.
