Teenage shaving advice

Hi, my 13yr old wants to start shaving her legs...I think she would be better of waxing...I'm a shaver and hate it 🤣 what are the best options out there for sensitive skin?

How about laser?
There's often 50% off sales. Wait for one of them and book 10 sessions.

let her try shaving, as someone who has waxed and shaved a combo is kind of handy. I couldnt always time my appointments perfectly and it was expensive. There is nothing wrong with shaving.

also explore other options, can be cheaper long term.

I've just bought an electric shaver (not the one that pulls it out at the roots) and love it!! It's not quite as a close a shave as a razor, but totally ok to have your legs out.
Also, not gonna lie, she's saying "shave her legs" but she means pubes as well 😂 sorry to drop that on you, but girls are literally shaving the bush as soon as it comes in now. There's TONS of peer pressure around it, and it's just as common & expected as shaving legs these days.
So...... unless you're going to pay for her brazillian as well, go with the razor or electric.
I'd say Nair, but OMG she'll go through a whole tube a week.
I'd remind her to exfoliate first because of ingrown hairs, hand her a razor and let her deal with all the nicks & cuts that we all had to learn about - it's a right of passage.
