My girls were in 7th or 8th grade and the rule was only below the knee until they were in highschool.
Hello!
Im a mother of two and one on the way but i have a question regarding my six year old daughter. When is it normal for girls to start shaving their legs? She will need to sooner rather than later but i tell her her leg hair is beautiful and it doesnt bother her. Help? I just dont know when i should give her the go ahead.

As someone who is pretty hairy, I’d say let kiddo shave when she asks to. I asked at probably 10 and was not allowed to. I cant remember for how long. But it was awful. I was hairier/darker than others. I know I didn’t *have to* but I WANTED to. No one else necessarily shaved but I was sick of comments. If it’s what kid wants, is safe, it grows back, I don’t see why hold them back from it. They’re the one living with it.

Her hair is already long and dark, so its not as though she has no reason. I just want her to feel comfortable in her own skin
I don’t know why I was so excited to shave as a pre-teen. I hate it now so I just don’t do it! Yes I’m a yeti. Last time I shaved my legs was the day I got married almost 5 years ago! Only cuz the nylons looked dumb with my leg hair poking through.

Ill probably stop shaving when i cant bend over anymore 😂

They are prickly until it reaches its final length. Then you either get used to it, or you don’t notice it anymore. Lotion helps. :)

My legs get too prickly and over time it makes it hard to sleep, i think that might be weird though?
