Q&A for How to Deal with Thick Leg Hair

I have been getting waxes for a few years now and can tell you from experience that waxing makes your body hair a lot thinner. It also takes longer for your hair to grow back. I also had thick hair on my body that made me very insecure, so I tried out waxing. It is pretty painful the first few times, but you get used to it.

Your only other option besides what you've mentioned is using Nair or some other kind of hair removal cream.

Use a hair remover product, such as Nair, Neet, or Skin So Soft hair remover.

Cold wax is less messy, but still leave lots of hair. Hot wax is way more effective; once it cools, it grips each individual hair strand.

Bleaching/lightening is really your only option if you can't remove it. You say it's your family that don't do hair removal, but how do you feel about it? If you don't believe in the same thing as your family, you shouldn't feel pressured to go along, just do your own thing and don't make it obvious if you're worried about their reaction. Most of the time people don't even notice when you've removed hair, but it can make a world of difference in how you feel about yourself. It is your body and it being hairy only affects you, you shouldn't remove hair for anyone else but neither should you be prevented from doing so if that is what you want.

Try laser shaving. After a few sessions, the amount of hair on your legs should diminish.

You can just shave your legs regularly, or you can use a special type of lotion that helps to thin and reduce the hair over time. You can do a simple online search for it.

Either try your best not to be self-conscious about your leg hair (it's really no big deal), or just wear pants all the time.

Yes, you may use the cream after using the epilator.

There is no magical way to keep your legs hairless. However, I'm assuming you'll have time to shower on your trip, so just bring a razor and shave your legs in the shower every few days.

No it will not remove the leg hair permanently. No waxing and hair removing creams will help you out in removing hair permanently. Laser removal may be permanent, but it's expensive and has potential for damage if not used properly.

The accepted minimum age to begin laser hair removal can be as young as 14 years old, although most experts recommend waiting until the teen is through puberty and, if female, has begun her menstrual cycle. Also, always ask for your parents' consent! They won't appreciate it if you spend a large amount of their money on laser hair removal.
