“There is no right or certain age to start shaving,” said Rashell Orey, a licensed master social worker at Banner Health. “Some may be eager to start very early, while for others, this could be a scary thought. It's a conversation that you'll need to discuss with them.”
Yes, it's perfectly fine for a 13-year-old boy to start shaving if he feels ready and has noticeable facial hair. Many boys begin shaving during their early teenage years as their facial hair develops. Here are a few things to consider:
Like clothing or hairstyle, maintaining pubic hair is a matter of individual preference. Some people don't do anything with their pubic hair, leaving it to grow naturally. Some remove hair when they'll be wearing a bathing suit, and some remove hair regularly.
Now if your 13-year-old son has hairy legs I wouldn't worry about it either. It's a normal part of male puberty.
Both boys and girls.
The first growth of hair makes long, soft hair that is only in a small area around the genitals. This hair then becomes darker and coarser as it continues to spread. Over time the pubic hair looks like adult hair, but in a smaller area. It may spread to the thighs.
But it's perfectly normal for puberty to begin at any point between the ages of 8 and 13 in girls and 9 and 14 in boys. There's not usually any need to worry if puberty does not start around the average age, but it's a good idea to speak to your GP for advice if it starts before 8 or has not started by around 14.
There are major signs, called “pubertal symptoms” that happen before periods start. Two of the most significant signs are: Breast development (“thelarche”) starts 2 to 3 years before the first period, often around age 8. Pubic hair development (“pubarche”) usually happens 1 to 2 years before the first period.

Emotional changes
Sometimes it will feel like a storm of emotions, ranging from irritability to sadness. Your daughter may experience confidence issues for the first time in her life. Emotions start to level out by the end of puberty. They may flair up around the time of your daughter's period.
If you want to avoid the stubbly look you can get from shaving, you can use depilatories or wax. A depilatory is a cream or liquid that removes hair from the skin's surface. Depilatories work quickly, are available at drugstores and grocery stores, and are painless.
In Conclusion. Shaving your butt hair is a personal preference if you feel like you're growing just a little bit too much down where the sun doesn't shine. While you should never feel like you need to shave your butt hair completely, there's a correct way to do it to minimize safety risks.
Pubic hair grooming, described as partial or complete removal of pubic hair, is considered a prevalent practice in both men and women [1].

Gently glide the razor up the leg beginning at the ankle, moving up and over the knee. Be sure to tell her to apply less pressure on her ankle, knee and the front of her shin where the bones create a higher risk of nicks and cuts.
Deciding to remove body hair is a personal choice. Getting rid of body hair doesn't make a person healthier, and you shouldn't feel pressured to do so if you don't want to. Some cultures view body hair as beautiful and natural, so do what feels right to you!
No — shaving hair doesn't change its thickness, color or rate of growth. Shaving facial or body hair gives the hair a blunt tip. The tip might feel coarse or "stubbly" for a time as it grows out. During this phase, the hair might be more noticeable and perhaps appear darker or thicker.
It is a very common practice among women in the western world, and is also done by some men, especially bodybuilders, cyclists, swimmers, and some runners.
Results: Over a period of 18 months, 320 women from all over the world were included in the study (excluding women below the age of 18 years and double entries). The women's mean age was 34.1 years (±11.1) and their mean age at first ejaculation was 25.4 years. Most women ejaculate a few times a week.
No mechanism evolved to shut off pre-pubertal and pubertal weight and body fat gain after puberty. The weight gain continues unabated throughout life.
It's important for kids to have autonomy over their hair, and it's reasonable to allow them to shave when they think they're ready to do so. If your tween has experienced hair growth, you can ask if they're interested in learning how to shave.
