8 1/2 yr old daughter?
Answers:
I really think I would let her. Teach her how to be safe and all that, but the whole point of shaving is to get rid of the hair, it's not just something you do for the heck of it when you turn 12 or 13. So if she has hair earlier, then she should start shaving earlier.
The thing was that my parents didn't let me shave 'till I was 12 and I had very hairy legs at your daughters age. I GOT MADE FUN OF ALL THE TIME. Especially when I joined a cheer leading team (the short skirt) it was very embarrassing.
Save your daughter the embarrassment - let her shave!

Let her shave.
shave ...if its a problem or see one of those electolosis people If you dont want her shaving yet then try bleaching it so it is not so visible
There is not harm at all on going on and letting her shave. Just talk her through it and she will be fine. Just tell her she has to keep up with it! :)
Maybe let her try the Nair Bladeless Shaving Kit or a similar brand.I was the same way. Except I didn't ask my mom I just did it and she could tell after I did it. She just showed me how to do it so I didn't cut my self any more. I think you should let her, but show her or at least give her some advice so she doesn't cut her legs up to bad. Let her shave under supervision at first. Same thing going on with my daughter now 12.
I have dark hair too. I would use NAIR. So you don't have to worry about her cutting her self. Maybe when she is about 10 let her start shaving. But underarm hair and leg hair can be inbaressing.
No shaving,try using a depilatory cream instead.I don't know if i would help much but when i was in elem school and til this day i have had hairy arms. Very hairy and i would just live with it because i always had my mom tell me i looked more beautiful. Even though i hated it at times because i would get teased, i learned how to be myself and not be scared to be different. Even now people ask why i am so hairy but it doesn't bother me because i knew my mom loved me and that was the only thing that mattered. About the underarm i think she could trim them but not shave them completely. I'm not sure about the underarms. Or if she would feel more comfortable to shave her legs, you could offer it till middle school ( I would think). It depends what community you live in too because some schools have clique. Never mind it gets complicated. But point is ask her what she would like to do and how she feels about it. see a dermatologist. laser procedure for permanent hair removal might do good for your daughter.

me.. i had undergone hair removal with laser method in my underarm coz it produces excessive sweat and it has no bad effects so far.
i would let her shave it cause if it makes ur daughter feel better it should make u feel better i know i shaved at that young and my mom thought it was ok cause i felt good about it so if u want write back

Buy her some pads. That'll be next. let her shave her armpits, but not her leg hair just yet. the armpit thing is a hygiene and odour thing, the legs, she'll survive! :)
I would get her an electrical razor...and teach her how to use it...some children grow up quicker then others!!...and then when shes about 10 or 11 let her shave with a real razor...i started shaving when i was 9...with an electrical razor and a real one when i was 11!!
well the legs i wouldn't care to much about at the age of nine but if my daughter had arm pit hair at nine i would show her how to shave it off to save her the embarrassment at school when other kids laugh at her. pier pressure it sucks. lkids can be cruel.More Questions & Answers...
