1st. Let that CHILD be a child.
2nd. Once you start shaving, the hair comes in thicker. And darker. So it would be best, to teach her to only shave when necessary. And stop at the knee. Otherwise, your creating a life long hassle.
9 sheās quite young to shave really, but if sheās gonna do it she will do it whether you approve or not, so might as well make sure sheās informed and doing things safely
Obviously make sure sheās aware that once she shaves once the hair grown in thicker and darker, it may persuade her to wait awhile 
And it goes without saying to make sure she knows about exfoliating etc and avoidance of ingrown hair etc.
Personally, Iād recommend an electric shaver, it doesnāt involve the risk of cutting herself accidentally and we have all done it, even in adulthood weāve all had the razor slip or cut too close and take skinā¦ so an electric one would defo be safer, especially at her age.
Oh waitā¦ I miss read your post I thought it said SHE wanted to shaveā¦ but I have just realised YOU want her to shave
SHES 9 YEARS OLD!!!
NINE!!!
And you want her to have a complex about her body hair ALREADY!!!
Bliddy hell woman!!!
Are you actually serious.
My mom never pressured me to start shaving. I decided to when I saw other kids doing it (around 13 years old). It comes naturally and considering our kids grow up too fast as is, I donāt see any point to rush it if your daughter isnāt asking to start. Let your kid be a kidā¦ it goes in a blink of the eye.

Wait till she feels she has to
My daughter asked if she could shave at 11. I completely supported her. Due to the type of hair she has, I thought it would be best if I helped her using a razor and shaving cream to get a good first shave. It took longer than I thought! The next time we practiced with an electric razor and now she does it independently. We did the same for under her arms.
She is to young they grow up to fast the way it is
We started with an electric razor. But her hair was so long and thick and wasnāt working. So I got her the same kind I use, Bic soleil I think, some shaving cream, and I shaved her legs for her the first few times and talked her through it. Then she did it herself and I watched. Now sheās good to go and 10 1/2. She asked me to do it and I let her. Iād rather her ask than try to do it herself
I think that should be her decision. I didnāt start until I was 15 I donāt have much body hair anyway.
I wouldnāt unless sheās actually started pubertyā¦
I think when she begins growing hair under her arms or you notice her becoming self conscious and not wearing shorts it is time to consider allowing her to shave. Several people have recommended Nair in which might work well for them or their daughters but it is possible to have an allergic reaction . I am highly allergic to Nair and it caused painful chemical burns that took weeks to heal so make sure and test a small area if this is the option you choose. I started my oldest daughter on the Schick Intuition razors and she did well with them. She was around 12 years old.
Unpopular opinion maybe but see what your daughter wants to do. If it doesnāt bother her then Iād leave it alone.
I grew dark black hair on my legs around 7 or 8 i was never bothered with it til high school. Started shaving legs and underarms around 17. It only made it grow longer thicker and darker definitely regret it.
My daughters 9 & very dark haired. We opted for an electric one. Its not religiously used. More if she feels she needs to before wearing shorts.
Kids r cruel nowadays. Isnāt something i wanted at this age but i also Didnt want my daughter feel embarrassed or picked on!
Iād let her decide if she is ready to start shaving.
My daughter is almost 7 and when times comes, Iām definitely having her use this thing I just got for me and love. Itās a little electric razor and it doesnāt get fully to the skinā¦ I get anything is possible but I feel itās safe. And it comes with the first 2 batteries, is very easy and comfortable, and also very portable.
If she has hairy legs and wants to and mom feels ok with it shouldnāt be a problem my daughter started at 12 it each to their own she just wants opinions on good razors for young girlsā¦I let my daughter use the same kind I use I shaved her legs first few times and now she does it all by herself
I took my daughter to walmart to let her look at the razors and showed her the differences, then let her pick one out and a shaving cream. Told her to put on a swimsuit, put a little water in the tub and i walked her through the first leg helping where I needed to. Then just watched over as she did the other leg on her own. She ended up not liking that razor so we picked different ones til she found one she likes.
When I was younger, about 13 I would ask my mom if I could shave at that point I stopped wearing revealing cloths like tank tops and mom always said no your hair isnt that dark. One day I got tired of asking and shaved. My mom was pissed and I didnāt care. I used the crappy razors then and cut myself several times. I like the shick now. Best of luck
My daughter is still scared to shave so she uses nair for sensitive skin itās so much easier for her until sheās more comfortable with a razor
Both my daughters came to me because they were self conscious about it. I got them electric ones.
9 seems a little young. I feel these kids are being so rushed! When I was 9 I was digging worms up and naming them as pets
My daughter is the same age ā¦I plan on getting an electric one for herā¦less cuts and bleedingā¦safer over all
My daughter is almost 13 and she only started asking to shave legs in the last year
Mind you she started her period in the last year as well
Electric razor!my 8 yr old loves hers and she has dark black thick hair and made her self conscious doing cheer and gymnastics. I left it up to her and I started shaving my legs same age as her.kids nowadays can be savages so Iām glad she asked if she could.
I feel like shaving before high school would be better girls donāt need to be shaving at 9 but each to there own
Nobody asked for anyoneās opinion.
My daughter turned 10 recently. Weāve done armpits a few times,legs twice.
First time she stuck out her forearm. I said nope.
My only opinion is your daughter will probably need help.
Schick intuition is a great starter. And donāt let anyone tell you sheās too young. That is a good age to start shaving and learning to care for yourself. The fact that you even care is a huge win.
I believe your daughter will let you know when she is ready. I got my daughter the Schick Intuition, its thicker razor with the soap attached to it. Worked great!
Amber Haynes my daughter started asking at 9, after a year of asking, I knew she was ready and she started at 10.
9 very young - educate her that once she starts it has to be done minimum weekly ā¦.
I started my daughter at age 13 on Veet hair removal - no blades
My daughter is 9 and keeps asking to shave her legs. I just donāt know if its too soon or not. 
Just another point of view. Body hair is normal, society is the one that says women should shave. My daughter is 13 and doesnāt shave anything. She doesnāt want to. Itās there for a reason. Maybe explain to her why itās there and why itās important on her body.
If she is ready to shave, I think the intuition razor is a good start.
Every girl matures differently. If you feel like she is nearing that time then I think that you should start showing her the doās and donāts. But i would really start her off on Nair.
Get her an electric razor but educate her on all her options and dos and donāts
When I started shaving I think it was an electric one. Not a regular razor.
Sheāll let you know. Probably when they feel to hairy.
We just started using nair with coconut oil super easy and donāt have to worry Bout getting cut!
Why would you want your daughter shaving at 9 years old?
I bought my daughter a Venusā¦seems to like it.
Venus ā¦ my daughter started at 8 . Sheās 9 now , sheās very careful.
The Intuition is a great one. I got them for Mr twin girls, and use one myself too!!!
Your daughters feelings?
Wth sheās 9? Wait till shes ready and starts asking you about it.
Nair cream no need to shave ti be on the safe side
I like intuition. It just goes really soft over your skin and you donāt need any thing else the soap is on it.
Body hair is normal so sad that such young girls have shaving pushed at them let kids be kids
Billie razors are great.
9 is too young. Just my opinion.
Nair cream if anything, I would never expect a nine year old to use a razor.
The later they shave the better. My girl is 9 and Iāve skilled her about shaverā¦ Coming from experience, itās not really a good idea for a young person to shave . They tend to shave everything and regret it later in lifeā¦
Iāll never understand why women jump on mums who allow their young daughters to shave. I was around 8 when I started shaving. I have pcos and Iām very dark haired as well as it being very coarse. Itās just shaving. Itās not a boob job or a lip piercing. I really donāt get the big hoohar 
9??? Way to young, just my opinion
Leave the child alone ffs
Does she feel like she needs to start shaving?
Try Nair maybe then razors ? I used something like this when I started shaving, itās so simple. I used it by itself so I never had to use shaving cream or make a mess.
As a fully trained, qualified and specialised beauty therapist. I professionally beg and ask that you do not shave your daughters legs at 9 years old. The hair growth that will return and cause issues throughout her actual adolescent life. It will also hinder any proper growth that is meant to occur naturally as she develops through puberty. Please, do not take any actions to remove hair, especially on a child that young. Wait until puberty and if worse comes to worse, clipper the hair, dont wax, shave or use hair removal creams !!! Please !!!
If you would like more advice, I have been in the industry for copious amounts of years and have been a specialised hair remover for a very long time, or even just want to chat about options, please inbox me ! But do not shave her please !
If you dont shave youāll never have too. #seenproofamproof
Why? Sheās a little girl and thatās really dangerous. What if so cuts herself? Is this a joke? The hair is there for a reason!
My parents actually shaved my legs for me until I was old enough to feel confident doing it alone! Not saying that was a great idea but it worked lol. You could always start with an electric razor that isnāt sharp but will trim down the hair!
Use shave powder instead, safer and easier to do, if sheās self conscious about the thickness of hair the more she uses the thinner the hair will. I think itās young to start worrying about but also thatās a time where girls start to be self conscious. I advise have a real talk about how she is viewing herself and why she wants to start.
There is obviously a reason shes asked 9 is way too young in normal standards but what if this girl has an issue where she produces a lot more hair and its noticed by others? As long as the childs happy and not in danger, i started shaving mine at 10/11 so its not long before shed be doing it anyway
Has she expressed that she wants to?
My parents started me around that age because I was in cheer and kids made fun of me. She used nair and I used basically a plastic ārazorā so I didnāt cut myself and learned how to properly do it. I believe they have those nair kits still. Best way to learn, in my opinion.
9 is way too young. Just because you feel like it doesnāt mean she should, youāll be giving her unnecessary insecurities about her body and sheās still a child. I didnāt start shaving my legs until I was near 13/14. Please donāt push her to grow up x
My first razor was like a dermaplaning razor. The hair at that age is fine enough for that kind of razor to deal with, and there isnāt a sharp enough blade to injure herself with
You shave yours in front of herā¦ If she want to learn she will, then teach her the right way so that the hair wonāt grow more thicker and cause uncomfortā¦ if she is not interested, leave itā¦
Iād say 9 is a bit too young. But ask her how she feels about it, if she doesnāt want to shave then donāt make her, even when sheās 13, 18, 25 whatever.
We live in a world now where people finally accept that hair grows out of our bodies and body differences are starting to be celebrated and accepted, her autonomy is more important than hairy legs, you can buy armpit hair dye now for crying out loud so donāt make her feel its abnormal or dirty or shouldnāt be there, make it her choice and help her safely if and when she chooses to.
Iād probably leave it a bit longer than 9 though if it was me 
A 9 year old does not need to shave her legs. Let her be a kid. Damn.
you feel she needs to shave her legs? What does she feel about it? You donāt have to shave just because you are a girl.
Use nair but make sure she uses it properly and do a test patch. It can burn you
I wouldnt let my 9yr old shave her legs but if ur both happy for her to be do it id say why not start with hair removal cream??
Wait to use a razor till shes older
Intuition!! Has the soap on it for extra moisturizer 
less cuts
Cheap pink 1 layer disposable razors
If she hasnāt expressed that itās bothering her or sheās getting bullied for it
Leave it 9 is still young ā¦
I had a friend who didnāt listen to all the stupid men and all the idiots like you and guess what!! She doesnāt need to shave or wax or anything to this day because SHE LEFT IT ALONE! What is your kid not good enough the way she is? Guess sheās gotta look a certain way and dress a certain way to be loved? Cause thatās the idea YOURE putting into her head! Good job

Donāt shave her legs ever. At all. All the hair will fall off when sheās 18 and sheāll never have to shave again. Happened to my grandma
Gillette, the best a man can get
Nair and thoes fake shavers to start, real razors around 12

For the ppl getting angry at this, this is not your child to judge. Some girls mature and hit puberty very early. Iād recommend the razors that have a great moisture bar on them so her legs donāt dry out in the process. Kids these day and age are far more advanced at a younger age then I was lol. But sit and have a chat with her about how she is feeling about shaving and if its an issue for her then let her. If not then Iād wait till sheās more obliged to ask you
My daughter is developing early sheās 10 tomorrow and her hairs are quite dark it was bothering her so we talked about it and we decided to use Veet which she is happy with xx
Some of you pearl clutchers never had thick, black, long leg hair in elementary school, and got made fun of relentlessly when wearing shorts, and it really shows 
I would recommend venus comfort glide or Schick intuition and sitting on the edge of the bathtub and showing her on yourself first. Then help her establish the correct pressure and angles.
I think at 9 sheās to young and probably doesnāt even notice them herself but if youāre going to do it, I think an electric one would be better for some one so young, canāt cut herself and we all know how much that can sting and bleed
I would wait until SHE wants to start shaving. No matter her age itās her body and not even her mother should be deciding that that NEEDS to shaveā¦ My daughter is 9 also and has a lot of leg hair, and she knows the option to shave or not shave is totally hers whenever she is ready to do so. If your daughter came to you asking to shave, then I would recommend the Shick Intuition.
I gave my daughter the Intuition razors with the built in shaving cream surrounding the razor. Its bigger and bulkier, which seemed to make it easier for her to learn to use.
I wanted to start around 9. I got made fun of for my hairy legsā¦ my mom wouldnāt let me. I didnāt wear shorts again until I was 13, when she finally let me shave. I say, if sheās asking to do it, go for it. I like the Schick intuition onesā¦ they have cute designs on them and have the moisturizer/shaving cream already on them
I just got my 10.5 year old a Schick intuition. Has the razor and soap in 1. She has been asked for a few months and my rule was once she got her period. Well that was a few months ago now and I tried to get her to hold off because I want my baby to be my baby. She was my first and I am not ready for her to grow up lol.
Anyone saying 9 is to young, doesnāt know the full background story.
To anyone saying it comes back fuller and thicker, thatās a proven myth. Learned in aesthetician schooling and a super easy Google search tells you thatās a myth.
I have a 10 year old and hoping I have 1 or 2 more years! It comes back darker and thicker so starting so young sheāll have to keep up with it
Your daughter does NOT need to start shaving at 9! Come on! Let her be a kid! The time will come soon enough where she will want to as a teenager! Both my girls didnāt start shaving legs until 13-14 earliest. Do not make her feel like she needs to to be comfortable with her own body!!
I begged my mother to let me shave at 8 because ibwas being made fun ofā¦she refused. So I went to my older sister and did it anywaysā¦if your daughter has expressed interest teach her the best way you know how momma!!! My single father best friend put his daughter at 10 in a bathing suit and taught herā¦I was thereā¦but he did the teaching.
Sheās so young. Let her be little for just a bit longer. They grow up so quickly!!!
Thatās pretty young. Wait till she asks you. Donāt push her before then
I am a mother of 5 girls and I let them shave when I thought they were mature enough to handle it one daughter was 13 and the other 2 were 12 I now wait for my last 2 ā¦10 and 7 and my 10 year old asks me every day and I tell her no because itās a big thing to have to handle and I donāt think she is ready even though she is a lot more mature then her other sisters I donāt think itās a good idea for someone that young
Honestly unless itās an issue and sheās got dark thick hair like I had (which I got bullied for) I wouldnāt touch it. Wait until sheās a little older 11/12. If anything Iād choose waxing/laser hair removal over shaving in hind site. As the hair will take longer to grow back and grow back thinner and by 16+ wouldnāt be hardly anything. X
Personally I think 9 is way too young to start shaving. Really there isnāt any way to word it to her that isnāt going to knock her confidence. Let her raise the subject when she feels ready.
My 13 year old has no interest in shaving and i donāt push her. I bought her razors for xmas and shes never touched them lol let her be a kid is my advice especially if it isnāt bothering her personally
I got an electric razor for my daughter. The one that looks like a regular razor but electric. Sheās 12 now so Iām going to get her a regular razor soon. She had to start shaving her pits at 9. Her leg hair finally changed recently and she just started shaving her legs.
