Should Girls shave their arms?

Question

I was just wondering cuz I have hair on my arms..not a lot but my brother always tells me i should shave my arms and i was just curious about what other people thought.

ok..thanks for the help but im not talking about my armpits to some of you who thought that i was.

Answer 1

Do not Shave your arms.........wax them.......i wax my own and it takes about 5 mins to do both arms myself with Andrea Cold Wax Strips. Stays hair free a lot longer, and whenit does grow back they grow back soft and smooth, shaving your arms will just make the air seem heavier and ull end up having to shave your arms daily!!! Never shave always wax

Answer 2

I say if it bothers you, shave them. I just started shaving my arms again and I have gone 3 days so far with smooth arms. Shaving is far less expensive and it s the method needed, if you were to get laser treatment. With waxing, my hair came pack courser, growing in different directions, and I had to walk around with embarrassing stubble. At least with shaving, I can quickly remove the stubble once it appears and it doesn t change the texture and fineness of the hair strand. Waxing does, just as tweezing causes whiskers.

Answer 3

no... it's too difficult to shave. If you want to remove the hair on your arms you should use a product like Nair or wax. This is because if you shave your hair becomes more coarse and thicker. The wax treatment and the lotions will cause your hair to grow back fine and less visable if for some reason you were unable to remove it for a few days. Also there is the option of electrolysis that is very expensive. Now if you're wondering if girls shouldn't have hair on their arms, it's your call. We are mammals and we naturally have hair all over our bodies, but I can't stand if my legs get even a little stubble. However, I'm not so worried about my arm hair because it's very fine and light. Hope this helps

Answer 4

Nah, leave the hair darling. I know someone who shaves their arms and as it starts to grow back, it's prickly, itchy and grows back thicker. You would have to shave your arms almost every other day to keep it from feeling prickly.

I would advise some type of hair bleach if you are that upset, but remember the source, it's your brother, siblings can be more judgmental than other people. I am sure your beautiful just the way you are, hair and all! Good luck.

Answer 5

Plucking (tweezing), Shaving, Depilatory creams and Waxing are temporary hair removal methods.
Waxing usually lasts for 3 weeks, but it is painful.
Electrolysis and laser hair removal are "permanent" hair removal methods but are expensive and you have to find a trained professional, otherwise your skin could be damaged.

Answer 6

I shave my arms becouse I don't want to be masculine I rather be feminine

Answer 7

To people who shave their arms I say nope I don't and every girl I thought doesn't either news to me that they do. I wouldn't and stop worrying about your arm hair. Hair you should worry about is shaving legs and underarms not upper arms. Think do I think my arms look ugly if okay, but I don't and no one teases me. Lastly I have brown dark hairs on my arms.

Answer 8

It is your choice. But shaving your arms will not get rid of the hairs they will come back darker.

Answer 9

No! Stubble is ugly, but a hairless arm is just weird.

My arms are kind of hairy, and I use bleach (the kind intended for mustaches, facial hair) on my arms, and somehow lightening the hair makes it "disappear" and look less obvious.

Try it!

Answer 10

if you shave your arms, the hair will grow in thicker...and you arent supposed to! everyone has hair on their arms! im pretty sure that your brother was joking...either hes crazy or your just really gullible.
