Pro: it will last longer than shaving and it won't make your hair grow back thicker.
con: it hurts.
it's not expensive, you can either get it done by a specialist or do it yourself. you can find diy wax strips everywhere. hope this helps! x

I don't wax because it really irritates my skin, so instead I use hair removal cream which has the same pros as waxing but does not hurt and doesn't irritate my skin.

I use an epilator which has the same pros as waxing but a lot less cheaper :)

The only cons I can really think of is its not the most pleasant feeling to go through but its definitely not the worst! that and the having to grow your leg hair out for your first wax :)

pro's! you don't have tp shave every other day! You get a much smoother and cleaner result than shaving :) my legs never feel spikey even when the hair starts coming back :) your hair growth over time ends up very minimal! I have many clients I wax that have been waxing for years that have barely any hair left from waxing some too the point I wonder why they bother :D

you don't get that from hair removal creams :) waxing removes the hair from the root over time this damages some of your follicles stopping either completely or at least slowing down the growth from that follicle dramatically :)

That's great! I'm so tired of shaving allll the time. So you do have to grow your hair out a little? Good thing I haven't shaved for like 2 weeks ;))

Con - your legs can actually be as sensitive as your face.
Con - after you wax your legs you have to wait for it to grow out long enough for you to wax again.
Pro - Your legs are sexy smooth!!
Pro - If you have a job or are going to school your showers are shorter so more sleeping time!

Haha yep just grow the hair about a cm long :) the first time is always the worst but it gets better and the benefits far out way the cons also the first wax you might not get the smoothest result as some hairs may be shorter then others but your second wax should be perfect! I honestly don't even notice my hairs grow back between waxes there fairly sparse and they don't grow back spikey so I never notice them :)

I have to be super careful with hair removal on my legs. If I wax, use hair removal cream or epilate then I end up coming out in these weird hives straight away and it's super painful. I have to be careful about the way I shave, too :/ if you have really sensitive skin then be careful
