Hairy 9 year old daughter

Hi ladies

My 9 year old daughter is having issues with how hairy she is.
She is extremely self conscious of it and has in recent weeks been pushing more to do something.
So much so I caught her trying to shave, I don't have a problem with this if it's that big of an issue we can remove it.
But my question is what would be the best hair removal for her?

I was a hairy kid too and got teased for it in primary school. I shaved but I wish my mum took me to get waxed it would have been a lot better. I think at that age you could probably get away with waxing every school holidays until she hits puberty.

My daughter has really hairy arms and it’s blonde but noticeable. She said the kids at school always say things to her about it.

Just let her shave it, I wouldn’t be waxing or putting chemicals on a 9 year olds sensitive skin, it’s a myth that hair grows back thicker from shaving. A quick google will show you that :) I had hairy armpits at a young age and got teased when I wore tank tops, hated my mum for not letting me shave it. Just show her how to use a razor and supervise and first, she’ll be greatful for it :)

Thanks. She has mentioned other kids have said things, I don't want her bullied if she wants to shave then shave we shall.
Again thanks for the advice
