How old and how do I wax my pre-teen daughter?
It happened to me this summer!
Before the shock of going back to school (in 6th grade), Louloute asked me to ... wax!
I turned to my best friend (beautician) and shouted: Help!
At what age and how do I remove hair from my pre-teen daughter?
I know, it's weird, it's all weird, but ... our girls are growing up! We have to accept it. So we "gulp", we do not say "no my daughter, you are too young" in a categorical tone to each of her requests.
We breathe, we answer "let me think" ... we discuss it with friends and, above all, we read How-to Save, because we find all the answers, or we ask for tips!
I had told Louloute that we would talk about it again when she was in college ... But, this summer, I had to face the facts: my daughter has very hairy legs, and her armpits are also starting to shrink. blacken.
She seemed to me so self-conscious about putting on a swimsuit, that I had to resolve to have my teenage daughter's first waxing. Here are the tips that my beautician best friend gave me:
1. Around 11 or 12 it's possible
Their body begins to transform, we can see it. And they tell us about it. They want to do certain things like the big ones. So for some we still say no, but for others ...
Don't think letting them wax makes them more addicted to looks, no. But at least it "uninhibits them", and when they feel better, they don't think about it anymore. 11 or 12 years old is possible, but you have to take certain precautions.
2. Never with a razor
The depilatory cream, and nothing else! Forget about pulsed light hair removal for teens, shaving and hair discoloration.
I grabbed my little sweetheart and, with the depilatory cream, I practiced gentle circular movements, from the bottom to the top. Up to the knees, not higher. Ditto under the armpits, not elsewhere. For bikini waxing or eyebrows, it is best to advise him to wait several more years.
After the pause time, I removed everything with the spatula and rinsed well. The result was incredible, and the Louloute delighted. "Besides, it doesn't hurt, Mom!"
In my opinion, the best depilatory cream is the Veet cream for a first waxing, it has been proven to work! It spreads out very well, and with just a little we do both legs, it is ultimately very economical. In Hydro Restor formula or 3-minute shea butter.
Webanishes the razor because the hairs come back faster (the cream, it goes a little under the skin). With the razor, it is more difficult and it can cut it. We also avoid wax in the first years, because I find it useless to make her suffer, to make her believe that you have to be in pain all the time to be beautiful.
3. Once a week at the start
Here is a happy Louloute in a skirt or swimsuit, who is not going to hang out on the beach in pants when it is 35 degrees and who will not skip the swimming pool lessons in college.
Initially, bet on a frequency of once a week, especially if you are starting in the summer or early fall. In this way, the hair is "attacked" at the start, and the regrowth slows down after a few weeks.
During the winter, if she doesn't have a pool and wears woolen tights and pants, you can do this only once every two weeks, or even more rarely. Resumption of the frequency once a week in May ...
Your turn...
Here is my best advice from Mom to a young girl of 11 and a half! ... I assure you that she thanked me for understanding her and for avoiding in advance the not always very nice mockery of college friends ! Does your daughter ask her mother how to wax? And you what do you think ? Leave me your comments...
