so if your willing to have to dye it all the time then go ahead.
if i were you i would just deal with it, no one looks at your arm hair anyways :)

I donno about bleaching... it seems like your arm hair would grow out and you could see the regrowth just like when you color your hair. It may be worth a shot. The other thing you could do is just go outside a lot, work on that tan. The more your hair is in the sunlight, the lighter it gets. Plus sunlight is free!!
Vikki27 answered Saturday June 10 2006, 3:47 pm: It may be that you suffer from a condition (of which I'm afraid I can't remember the name), whereby the body produces an overgrowth of hair. As far as I am aware, there is no real treatment for this. On the other hand, it may be that you just have inherited genetics that mean you produce more hair in areas than others.
Whatever the reason, your best bet if you are uncomfortable with it would be to use a hair lightening cream. There is a cream by Johnsons, I believe, which makes the hair appear lighter and thinner and this would probably be very beneficial to you. Next time you are near a shop that sells cosmetics and toiletries, have a look in the depilatory section, which should prove a number of items that may be suitable for you. If you cannot find anything that seems adequate, try speaking to a pharmacist and see if they can recommend anything. [ Vikki27's advice column | Ask Vikki27 A Question ]
xokristabelle answered Saturday June 10 2006, 3:46 pm: If you bleached it, the hair would turn orange or bright yellow because it's so dark and you would still have the same amount of hair...i've seen it before and it's really noticeable. I'd recommend one of those rollon liquids that remove hair instead. [ xokristabelle's advice column | Ask xokristabelle A Question ]
