Shaving - Shaving
I was thirteen when I started shaving, however every child is different. How old is the little girl you are asking about? What is the situation? It all just depends!

My daughter is 9 1/2 and she is quite hairy legged as she calls it.And it embarrasses her.She hasn't grown hair anywhere else.I told her by eleven she should be doing it.

I think that I was 12 or 13 when I started. There's no age that is right or wrong; I suppose it has to be based on the child's individual circumstances. I would think that if your daughter is telling you that she is embarrassed about her hairy legs, then she is ready to start shaving. Why make her be self-conscious for the next 1 1/2 years?

I did it when I was 9 years old. Because I played basketball and was a cheerleader I didn't want to wear the uniforms being all hairy
