Is there a specific age for shaving pubic hair, and should it be completely removed or is it sufficient to trim it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The growth of coarse pubic hair is a sign of puberty if it can be shaved with a razor. Shaving it is a for a mature individual and does not have a specific age limit. Weak hair, however, is not considered a sign of puberty. Hair removal can be achieved by trimming, cutting, or other methods, but the best method is to shave it from its roots.
