i am 18 and have been shaving for about 5 years. the hairs on my legs seem to get blacker and thicker the more i shave, and i also appear to get more of them. I have really hairy legs, they are thick and grow back the day after i shave. i get itchy bumps and am always sctrachting them, often in my sleep, i wake up to my bleeding legs. This is so frustrating, waxing did no good, it still was itchy, and hair removal cream wont remove the hair because its so thick.
any solutions?
can u get sensitive wax or something??

hi, when you shave the hair is cut off at skin level and as it continues to grow the blunt edges can be very obvious making it seem as though they are thicker and darker. There are other methods which completely remove the hair at the root, such as waxing, however some people with sensitive skin find that the wax can really irritate them. Most salons now do use hypoallergenic products - those for sensitive skin so if waxing is for you try speaking to some salons an see what they can offer. Another option is using an epilator, something you can use at home. it is similar to an electric shaver but instead of cutting off the hairs at skin level it removes them at the root, just like waxing, but you can do this yourself at home. They have lots of tiny tweezers whixh grip the hairs and pull them out. Some people find this slightly uncomfortable but most makes and models now have vibrating plates or ice which help. Any method that removes hair at the root means that it takes a lot longer for the hair to grow back and when it does it will be weaker and finer. A lot of people find that in time a lot of the hair doesn't grow back at all. To reduce the risk of the itchy bumps (ingrowing hairs) make sure you exfoliate and moisturise regularly. hope this helps.

Be very careful what you try. Epilators can damage the hair follicle (so can waxing) and lead to more in-grown hairs.
This may not seem like a good option, but if you want to stop having bleeding legs, try an electric razor. It won't cut the hair below the surface of the skin, so you won't get bumps. Your legs won't be silky smooth though.
The only other options are: be saintly and accept yourself with hairy legs or save your $$ for laser hair removal or electrolysis by a professional.
