when i was 12 i noticed the hair on my arm was growing and there was more of it, so i figured i could get rid of it the same way i get rid of my leg hair, by shaving it. Well I did and I regret it now because the hair keeps growing back darker and thicker and I have to keep shaving them since its so dark. Is there anything I can do to stop the hairs from growing in as dark and thick as they are? Or am I screwed for life?

You could try bleaching your arm hair so it doesn't appear as dark, and maybe wax it. But I don't really recommend to keep shaving it. Hope I Helpeddd :] [ CHRIStotheTINAA's advice column | Ask CHRIStotheTINAA A Question ]

Anyway, this is what you do. Let the hairs grow out to at least 1/4 of an inch. After they grow out, get them waxed. Really, it will hurt but waxing doesnt cause your hairs to grow back thicker/darker. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
SarahViliocco answered Sunday August 27 2006, 7:35 pm: This may be painful but if you wax the hair on your arms it will not grow back as quickly and after you do it several times it won't grow back at all but several will be alot of times.
