At what age and how should I wax my pre-teen daughter?

At what age and how should I wax my pre-teen daughter?

It happened to me this summer!

Before the shock of going back to college (in 6th grade), Louloute asked me to... wax her!

I turned to my best friend (beautician) and shouted:Help!

At what age and how do I wax my pre-teen daughter?

I know, it's strange, it's all weird, but... our girls are growing up!

We have to accept it.

So we do "gurgles", we don't say "no my daughter, you're too young" in a categorical tone to each of his requests.

We breathe, we answer "let me think"... we discuss it with friends and, above all, we read comment-economiser.fr, because we find all the answers there, or we ask for tips!

I 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 turn black.

She seemed to me so complex to put on a bathing suit, that I had to resolve to wax my teenage daughter for the first time.

Here is the advice given to me by my best beautician friend:

At what age and how should I wax my pre-teen daughter?

1. Around 11 or 12 years old, it's possible

Their body begins to change, 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 "uncomplexes" 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 razor

Depilatory cream, and nothing else!

We drop pulsed light hair removal for teenagers, shaving and bleaching hair.

I grabbed my little darling and, with depilatory cream, I practiced gentle circular movements, from bottom to top. Up to the knees, no higher.

Ditto under the armpits, not elsewhere.

For waxing the bikini line or the 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 hair removal cream is the Veet cream for a first hair removal, it has proven itself!

It spreads very well, and with just a little you can do both legs, it is ultimately very economical.

In Hydro Restor formula or shea butter 3 minutes.

On bans the razor because the hair comes back faster (the cream goes a little below 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 first

Here's a happy Louloute in a skirt or swimsuit, who won't be hanging out on the beach in pants when it's 35 degrees and who won't skip swimming lessons at college.

Initially, bet on a frequency of once a week, especially if you start in the summer or early fall.

In this way, the hair is well "attacked" at the start, and regrowth slows down after a few weeks.

During the winter, if she doesn't have a swimming pool and wears woolen tights and pants, you can do it to her only once every two weeks, or even more rarely.

Resumption of frequency once a week in May...

Your turn...

Here are my best advices from a mother of an 11 and a half year old girl!... I assure you that she thanked me for understanding her and for avoiding in advance the not always very nice teasing of school friends. !

Has your daughter asked her mother how to wax? And you what do you think ? Leave me your comments.
