My $3 buy gives me the smoothest legs when I shave – I rarely have ingrowns, it’s the weirdest thing but I swear by it
A BEAUTY enthusiast in her thirties has revealed the unusual method she swears by for smooth legs.
She decided to experiment with using a budget-friendly product to shave her legs after seeing the bottle go untouched in her household.
The woman shared her shaving hack on Reddit’s 30 Plus Skincare forum, which has almost 2 million members.
HAIR ME OUT
She wrote in response to a user asking for tips to get legs “summer ready.”
“This is the weirdest thing, but I used to just use conditioner to shave my legs,” she said, writing under the handle Salt_andlight.
“I have also always dealt with ingrown hairs and bumps.
“Once, we were out of conditioner but we had a bottle of Head and Shoulders that no one really used anymore, but was still languishing in the shower.
“So in honor of trying to use things up, I switched to the Head and Shoulders.
“A few weeks later I realized that my legs were the smoothest they had ever been and I had hardly any ingrown hairs!
“I still use it and swear by it, lol.”
BUDGET BUY
Many people upvoted the post and one person said they were going to try it for themselves.
Head and Shoulders are known for their range of products that keep hair clean and free from dandruff.
Their classic shampoo has thousands of glowing reviews on Target and a 4.3-star rating.
One customer raved about its “amazing” smell, and another gushed about its “moisturizing” properties.
However, known of the reviews mention using it as a shaving product.
SMOOTH SHAVE
The Redditor’s pain-free hack came amid a flood of other hair removal suggestions such as laser and waxing.
Beauty Bay’s esthetician Grace Day recently revealed to The U.S. Sun that ingrown hairs and strawberry legs can be prevented by shaving correctly.

She said it’s important to “regularly exfoliate” before shaving legs with a “clean, sharp” razor.
Her product recommendations include Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum Scrub, Fur KP Body Scrub, and Mallows Beauty Razor.
Day said shaving should be followed by applying a moisturizer such as The Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream.
Alternatively, The Fur Stubble Cream “soothes” skin after shaving intimate areas.
This step is important because the skin is “stripped” of nourishment when it has been shaved.
