Shaving arms?? Options

[NHSblondie]

Okay, A Few of my friends shave their arm hair? I was wondering how many other people do?
& if its normal??

[marzipan]

Well, they say that if you shave your arm hair, it'll grow back thicker and faster. I wouldn't do it unless you think you need to shave.

[SimplicityGirl]

I did it once...and never did again.

[kimmytree]

Yeah, I did it once too... and it just grew back thicker and darker. It just seems weird to me when girls shave their arms. I just did it because I knew alot of girls who did.

Unless you're reeeallly hairy, and you're self conscious about it, I wouldnt do it.

[xBUTTMUNCHx]

i never did, and i dont think i ever will.

[mai_z]

I've waxed, never shaved.

[alysaphobia]

...nope.
i don't think i'll ever shave it either.

[michellerrific]

Nah, it's nothing to worry about.
Besides, when it starts to grow back it'll be all prickly and that won't feel good, especially since it's your arms rather than your legs or something.

[thatasian]

so sad =/ i don't think mine have hair yet lmao, and i'm 14

[*suddenly she*]

^Why would you want arm hair?!

[Cujiine]

I tried it once just cause I thought the hair was too long and I badly cut my right arm... that's what I get for having an unsteady left hand and being right handed...

[shortnsweet88]

I never have and dont think I will. I have been tempted to before but I havent. I had a boyfriend one time that had the nerve to say...why dont you shave your arms? dont ALL girls shave their arms? I was like..ummm NO...and on top of that my arms arent even hairy...so that made me mad.

[cathylawlzz]

i never did :|


just shave it when you're extremely hairy...
otherwise...
you'll have people staring at it O_O

xxx

[lalalaLANUH]

Eh I did a couple times...I didn't really need to though >.<
My cousin does...obsessively.
But yeah, you really only should shave your arms if you think they're horribly hairy or something.

[zombiegirl]

eh, I'm not much for hair [unless its on your head]so I wax or shave them.

[*mishyerr*]

I do it. hahahhahaha

[xylophonist]

I did it once, its not nessecary because it just grows back and if you don't keep shaving it and someone touches your arm it will be all prickly [[like shaving legs]]

Unless you have like long, thick, black arm hair, you don't need to.

[*xcaitlinx*]

I do it. hahahhahaha

me too! my arm hair is dark and i just think it looks monkey-like. i really dont mind taking an extra 3 minutes in teh shower shaving them every few days.

[deplorable]

lol. im the lame one looking to bring back old posts.

girls. remember the first time you shaved and didnt want to stop with just the legs. sure. everyone does.

i shaved my arm hair the day i first shaved my legs. and i swear to god that shaving my arms yeaaaarrrrrsss ago made my arm hair thicker even though i only did it once. DON T DO IT!!!! :D

[iDecay]

You can just.. bleach it.

[Select]

nope, and i dont think i ever will, in my opinion its a waste of precious time, because it just grows back thicker and darker, its gonna come back over and over again, so unless you think you have a serious issue with your arm hair, and are willing to spend time to keeping your arms smooth, dont do it, because right now you can berely notice your hair right? isnt it better to just keep it like that?

[Hamnah]

I do.
And i'm proud:)
I'm not into the whole hairy armpits thing..
It freaks me out.
And get's noticed!

[*mishyerr*]

^ I'm pretty sure we're talking about arms, not armpits, here.

[mmhmichelle]

i read in my magazine that you're not supposed to shave your arms because most of the time the hairs grow back all stubby.

[*stephinika*]

^ That's just an illusion. It's not that it comes back thicker, it's that it comes back the same thickness it was before. And when smooth arms start to get hair, it looks hairier.

I'm not the expert on this but I read that in one of the 168453454 topics about this stuff here.

What Robbi said is true, it just looks that way but you don't want it to, so don't shave. If it's really bad and you really want to get rid of it, wax instead.

[RAWRstephishere]

I dont.

Only shave your arms if you have SUPER SUPER HAIRY ARMS.
Like gorilla type hair.

[kl-shorty]

hah ive dun it well i waxed tham.,.,
they didnt grow back darker,.,.maybe a lil longer?
but they aint that bad,.,
hah nd ive been told if yu wax tham enuff times
they eventualy wont grow back!!!
nd or yu culd just like burn tham off lol than they don grow back ahahha

[Dreamers]

WELL... I have some hairy arms, and this may sound weird, but I just take scissors and trim the extremely unruly ones. It makes the unruly hair less noticeable, and it doesn't (fromwhat I can see) affect the thickness or color of the hair.

[xiloveyou4lyfx]

ew. i hate people that shave there arms lol. i think u should only shave ur arms if u have BAD hairy arms. if u can barely see ur hairs. then leave them =-)

[loveylovely]

I did it a couple of times, and never did again. Unless you have abnormally thick, dark hair on your arms, shaving isn't a good idea. My arm hair is blonde, so this doesn't really affect me. I only did it because my friends told me it was better in the long run. Well, they were wrong.. just, don't do it. It's a waste of time.

[*AngelicEyz00*]

I've been shaving my arms since I was 13. I had hairy arms Damn Mexican-ness.

[LUVMELUVUNOT17]

yes
