15/f I want my arm hair removed, but I don't want to shave it off, because I heard it comes back thicker and darker and faster, and I also hear these stories about people who have shaved their arms really regret it. Since waxing your legs after a while, it doesn't really grow back would the same technique happen to your arms? I've tried bleaching and stuff and its not like I have a lot of arm hair its just long pieces of it, I even tried trimming my arm hair lol.
So my question is has anyone had their arm hair waxed and how did it work, cause I really want to wax it, but I don't want to regret waxing it. (ps. I'm talking about arm hair not arm pit hair)
thanks so much!!

The reason it seems like way is because of the length. If you had soft, but long hair on your legs before shaving and then now you get rough stubble after shaving, that doesn't mean it grew back thicker. If you grew your leg hair long, it would go back to being soft.
As for your arms...waxing is painful IMO no matter which part of the body it's on. If you go for shaving, you'd have to do it every day to keep them smooth. [ lbwhite89's advice column | Ask lbwhite89 A Question ]

Either way, if it's really bothering you you can get laser hair removal. Which will remove it permenantly.
If it's just the length of it that bothers you, you could keep trimming it.
I just really wouldn't advise waxing or shaving. For one waxing would be painful on your arms, I should imagine and like you've said shaving does make it come back darker sometimes. [ xxclusive's advice column | Ask xxclusive A Question ]
orphans answered Thursday April 5 2007, 2:19 pm: yeah, wax them. the idea of not growing back, works for all parts of the bosy as the hot wax takes the hair out at the folicle. so yeah, wax them if you want to. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]

There are other things you can do. You can get it waxed off. BUT THAT HURTS! All girls have hairy arms. Not many girls I know shave their arms.
