It happens quicker than you can believe – the changes in her thinking, her interests and even her body. The undeniable onset of puberty can be a difficult time for girls – and their mothers.  During this time of drastic change and transition, open communication is the best way to ensure that your daughter feels comfortable and confident with herself.


Be proactive. Ask your daughter if she has any questions about her changing body. Assure her that what she's going through is normal and tell her about your own experiences with adolescence.


As adolescence sets in, it's not uncommon for girls (and their mothers) to notice childhood fuzz turning into thicker, stronger body hair. Your daughter may feel self-conscious – but also nervous about first-time hair removal. You might feel anxious about it too. Your daughter needs your help so guide her to the best option. Before you choose a method, it's important to know the facts.


  • Safe: Nair® Pretty™ is a depilatory that breaks down the bonds of hair, making removal simple – just apply and wipe away! It works well on short hair.  Nair® Pretty™ hair remover is developed for the skin of teenage girls.

  • Effective:  Nair® Pretty™ goes just below the surface of the skin to dissolve hair, so skin stays smoother longer than with shaving.

  • Beneficial: With hydrating ingredients like kiwi extract and peach oil, Nair® Pretty™ conditions the skin while it removes hair. Hair grows back soft and not stubbly.

  • Easy: Available in Soft Peach Hair Removal Cream, Soft Raspberry Hair Removal Cream or Soft Kiwi Hair Removal Spray, application is simple and removing hair (especially in hard-to-reach areas) is a snap!
