arms


Question Posted Sunday December 31 2006, 3:37 am

This is embarasing but I have pretty hairy arms. All my friends shave theirs and stuff but I heard that makes it grow back darker and stuff. I obviously don't want to get the lazer treatment done or anything crazy like that. Does anyone know any ideas of how to solve my problem?

Well, if all your friends are shaving their arms then
a) It must be the cool thing to do, and so it only makes sense for you also to do it.
b) That means that they also already have monkey-man "dark" hair, because they clearly have been shaving there arms for quite some time
c) You freaking shave the dark hair off.
d) You let it grow out, let your friends braid it and stuff.

you can try nairing your hair. Nair is a a lotion you put on your arms and then wait a few minutes and wipe it off. along with the lotion the hair gets wiped off too. this does not hurt at all, but some of the lotions smell really bad. I dont know about prices, but their are a few different brands. The hair will not grow back as quickly as it would when shaving. hope this helped.

You can buy a special lightener for this type of hair, that way you wouldn't have to wax or shave and it would make it less noticable.

hi!

i have the same problem - dark hair and pale skin, but i try not to let it bother me. i figure that if someone is bothered by my hairy arms then they're not worth knowing.

however, if it bothers you then something needs to be done about it. you could try waxing as this makes the hairs grow back slowly, thinner and lighter than before but it is painful. i would personally try lightening the hair. chemists will stock hair lightening kits and this is easy to do and causes no lasting effects.

hope this helps,

Dont shave your arms.
Its true it just makes them stubbly feeling, and darker and not soft.

There is avon lotion and lots of kinds of lotions that make your hair lighter and less visible.

You could wax your arms. When you wax any hair, it comes back thinner rather than when you shave it. This is hard to do by yourself, especially on your arms, so getting it proffesionally done might be best. This shouldn't be too expensive.

Hope I helped! =]]]
