Is shaving okay?

Ingrowing hair is a possibility to deal with when you shave..it's not harmful,but untrapping the hair can be time consuming..the other option of dealing with hair (if you're ruling out waxing) would be laser hair removal..or start dating someone who likes lots of hair!

hi, i think shaving is okay,because i also shave my legs and there's no wrong of it as long as you dont press harder the blades into your skin.just shave it smoothly and no harsh.

Hairy arms and legs is one delimma many people are facing. I think shaving does not solve the problem instead it will worsen the situation with rougher and thicker hairs will grow later on. I don't think you have other choice but to do waxing.

The maker of us all put hair on our bodies for a reason. To keep dirt away from certain areas. We shave several of these places and do find ingrown hairs. These can become infected. A couple summers ago I had a horrible infected ingrown hair down there. I didn't even know it was there until I happened to touch when wiping myself. OMG! It hurt so bad I went to the ER. Had no idea what it was. I am telling you this because I think whether or not we shave is a person choice and it is made by our personal experiences.

Waxing makes you more prone to ingrown hairs than shaving. The cause of ingrown hairs is that the hair is cut short and at an angle, so when the hair grows, it grows at an angle and into the skin. One thing you can do to help prevent ingrown hairs is shave in the direction the hair grows, not against the grain. When you go against the grain, it cuts it shorter (which is why people do it) and it tugs on the hair making it cut at more of an angle. Another option, is to use nair or a similar hair-removal product. I have never tried it myself, so I don't know much about it, but it will prevent ingrowns. Since this isn't cutting the hair, it will grow in straight.
