Well my K started complaining about the long hairs on her leg and then started to RIP them out. So I bought Veet cream. I sat with her in the bathroom and we used the cream on her knees and below. Then she got to use a little plastic "razor" (scraper) and "shave" the cream and hair off. It worked very well and she was happy with the smooth legs. I am not ready to hand a real razor to a 9 yr old. And the Veet seemed to work. I am glad she came to me about it. I couldn't just sit by and do nothing while she PULLED the hair out of her legs!
