im not sure if others could see it but its so annoying! any way to get rid of this?

i shave almost every other day since its summer...

Answer 1

You could try waxing, but I'm sure that would hurt a bit. I get my brows done so I would know.

There are also some shower treatments that you could use. Nair has something that you apply to your legs and you leave it on for a couple of minutes and just wash it off and it is suppose to last longer than shaving.

There are also lotions that help reduce the look of hairs as they grow back, like the Positively Smooth one from Aveeno. It "makes hair look and feel softer, finer and less noticeable within 4 weeks."

If you want to shave make sure you do not shave in the morning. Your legs are always a little puffy in the morning so if you want a close shave you should wait a couple of hours so the puffiness goes down.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Is that right after shaving that you see the roots coming back, or is it a few hours later?  If it is RIGHT after shaving, do your legs FEEL smooth?  Maybe you need a better razor.

My hair grows quickly.  I have stubble about 5 hours after I shave, so on nights that I need to be extra smooth, I shave earlier in the day, and then I used Nair or Veet about 4 hours after shaving, to give my pores time to close, because if I use it right away, it feels like it's burning my leg.  Then my legs are smooth for about 24 hours before the stubble comes back.

Answer 3

Try using a depilatory such as Nair on the area. It that does not work, you may want to get it waxed, although this can be slightly painful, if only for a few seconds.

Answer 4

get your legs waxed and the hair will stay away for longer.. yea it sucks being a girl and having to shave!.. o well :-) good luck

Answer 5

Try laser hair removal, i heard it's painless and the hair doesn't grow back ever after that...
