My daughter's aren't very hairy at all, but, some of my friend's daughters were like little gorilla's in 5th grade.
I started my daughters on Nair, taught them how to use it, because at that age one use usually lasts about a month.
Then, when they hair grew tougher than the Nair, I taught the girls how to shave. Each of my daughters has their own razor and two totally different brands so their is no fighting about someone accidentally taking the other's stuff.
