Okay, I got most of my fathers genes in me. I have extremely hairy arms, I do shave them though. As a girl, it embarrasses me very badly. I've been to doctors and they've given me pills to see less hair growth, but the hair that was already there will just keep growing. (Which is a lot) I'm in my first year of highschool, and I'm VERY self conscious about my arms. I wear long sleeves/jackets until I can't take it anymore. (And I live in Texas, so it is already sooo hot right now) What do you suggest I do? Keep shaving them? It's time consuming, every other day I have to do it cause my hair grows back so fast, and it's just now fair other girls have basically no hair on their arms & they do nothing to them. Ahh, what to do, I have to start wearing short sleeves, the heats too much.

Go wax them. Don't shave them anymore! Trust me, I've seen people who shave their arm hairs--and it's not pretty! Also, that's pretty gross that you have to SHAVE it. Maybe go by a home waxing kit and use it--That way, the hairs would not grow back as fast and you won't have to re-wax as often.

Also, if you shave your arm hairs, they grow back faster, thicker, and longer--although you probably already realized that.

---Edit--
Thanks for giving me a 3 when you didn't even mention that waxing wasn't an option. Seriously, if you can't wax or get laser hair removal, what other choice do you have? None! Thanks for wasting my time.

(Rating: 3) Well, um, thanks I know it's gross. And I can't wax them anyway, thanks anyway.
