Shaving arms
Haha I had no clue what category this should of gone under, so I picked randomly.
Anyway.. I am 14 and a girl and I was wondering.. how many people shave(or wax or ect) their arms? Should i shave mine? I feel like my arms have light colored hair (blonde) but the seem hairy to me. I read in a magazine something about shaving arms, but should I? Would it be weird or would it be weird if I didnt?

Im 13 and I shaved my arms when I was 12 (: I am also blonde and my hairs were light but there were too many hairs and I was insecure so I just shaved them. Afterwards, I was really glad - I couldnt imagine them being hairy again!

well i know some people that shave their arms but i think its kinda wierd but normal haha .. but if you plan on shaving it, it will grow back thicker and plus you'll have to constantly keep on shaving it and it'll get kinda annoying, but its your choice.. you could probably try waxing though cause that will make it come back less faster.. good luck!

okayy.. well if you think that you should start shaving then you should. just because the hair is light, that doesnt mean that no one can see it and you might get really sweaty really fast.. but if you arent comfortable shaving yet ,then wait a little longer. hope i helped

Get like the lasik stuff to remove hair from your arms. My mom got that a year ago and she has very very little hair on her arms. It truly works, but I'm not sure about how much it costs.

hey. i think you should probably make peace with your arms. arm hair grows back thicker and darker, just liek legs, and arms are a lot more noticeable than legs so you would have to do it very often. you probably think it's worse than it actually is so just leave it alone for a while. hope this helps.

yeah a lot of people do but if you shave them it usally grows back quick and thicker (might even be a darker color) so if its really bothering you i suggest getting it waxed:)

Well in my opinion i think you should because it feels better and its more ladylike.But if you honestly cant really see it AT ALL like its that blond then i guess you dont have to shave it,just trim it up a bit.Hope i could help!

I don't think you should shave your arms, because even though it may seem thick or you have a lot of it to you, most people probably don't even notice it. It also might look kind of weird if your arms were all shiny, but that's just my opinion. I have a lot of friends who are swimmers who HAVE to shave their arms and they think it is kind of annoying because not only do they have to shave their legs, and armpits, they also have to do their arms. But whatever, if you do decide to, i would probably get them waxed so it wouldn't grow back so quickly.
hope it works!<3<3

heeeyyy... ok well here's the deal! i hate having hair on my arms, so i wax it! my mom makes a wax at home and waxes my arms for me... yeah it hurts a little (not as much as it does to wax your legs) but it is SOO worth it, because it takes about a month for the hair to START growing back. plus it makes you skin so smooth because waxing helps to get rid of dead skin. so get some wax (you can buy it too) or go to a salon and wax it if it bothers you that much! :)

personally, i wouldnt. i think its really weird becase like were supposed to have hair on our arms and its like totally different then having hair on your legs and stuff which obviously isnt weird to remove..but yeah shaving your arms would be really annoying---always having to shave them to avoid them getting prickly which is gross. but i dont know maybe if you shaved a lot or something it could be alright...im not exactly sure ive never done it so good luck to you if you do!
ps---if you have blonde hair then wouldnt it be like not embarrasing since no one can see it? whatever its totally your call thtas just my advice take it or leave it <3

Shaving your arms is a risky thing, even if you only give it a trial run once. The hair will grow back thicker, so if you think you have problems now.. just wait. I really wouldn't suggest shaving your arms. I'm hoping that you do of course know that it's natural to have arm hair, right? You're only human, but I do understand how it may be a bit of an embarrassment. What you might want to consider is ever so, ever so, ever so lightly taking a disposable razor and running it gentle on the arm. You don't even need to apply any pressure what so ever, just barely drag it across. This will thin the hair, not remove it. The hairs that have been shaved will grow in thicker, but it won't be noticeable, if you do it correctly.

I had your dilemma. To shave or not to shave the thick blonde hair on my arms. I'd heard that once you shaved your arms the hair would grow back coarse and dark. So, I shaved a small area first. Of course, all hair will grow back prickly, because you cut it bluntly with your razor. Naturally, a single strand of hair thins to a point. This blunt edge is sometimes the reason hair looks darker as well. The hair on my arms, unlike my legs, didn't grow back darker or coarser. I now shave my arms completely and let me tell you, as soon as I did it for the first time, I felt so much more feminine.
If your skin is extremely sensitive, don't use a depilatory cream (Nair or Veet). Your best bet is to use at least a triple bladed, good quality women's razor with shaving cream. The first time, just like your first time shaving your legs, you may need to go through more than one razor. There may be a couple of infected hairs at first, no way around it, but the skin on my arms just got used to being shaved I guess, and that stopped happening.
To help prevent infected hairs and dry skin on your arms and legs, don't ever EVER use anyone else's razor. Not your Momma's, not your sister's, your friends, boyfriend's- NO ONE. Also, only use a new razor about 4 or 5 times at the max before throwing it out.
Waxing hurts and its terrible for your skin. I don't care how vitamin packed or edible it is.
I strongly suggest you do a test shave on your arm like I did, to be positive your hair won't grow back in all black and pubie! I'm sure it'll be fine and you'll be glad you did it. Just remember you have to keep up with shaving your arms more than your legs because they're exposed more often. Whats funny about it is that no one really notices our thick or stubbly hair on our arms because its blonde. Nobody noticed or cared that my arms were hairy so, don't think you're weird if you decide to keep your hair.
I shave my arms for my peace of mind, because it makes me feel better about the way I look. No one knows that I do it, but I wouldn't care to tell them if they asked because I don't think its weird.

It's not that abnormal.
I personally, do not, but I know many girls that do.
You have blonde hairs, so other people probably
don't see the hairs as much as they would if they were
darker. If you do decide to shave your arms though,
find the best way to do it. I heard waxing with Nair or going to a salon to get them waxed is best.
Shaving would just make it grow back in about 3 days.
Be prepared to cope with stubble too. Not a nice feeling.
Either way, it's up to you, but be sure to know the pro's and con's before you do this.

I wouldn't, I'm 15.
