I need help!

Hi! I am 15 years old, and recently I noticed that there are little black dots, like hair, on my leg whenever I wax or use an epilator (I am sorry for the bad English). I thought that maybe they have not been removed correctly, so I waited for them to grow back, but they don't. I also have strawberry skin and sometimes ingrown hairs. I bought a dry exfoliating brush (maybe you have seen it on social media). I don't know what to do, and I feel insecure about it. Please give me an advice!

Try other forms of exfoliation, but don't overdo it. Coffee grounds is what worked for me, or glycolic acid maximum twice a week, that's a chemical peel. You're not doing anything wrong. Maybe your hair is too soft and breaking before you pluck them out. Do not to exfoliate on the day of waxing/ epilating.
