I'am a girl, Do I really need to shave my arms?

Question

Any girls that shave their arms?
any males that think that we need to?

I just can't be asked its winter!

Answer 1

I actually get my arms waxed as i PERSONALLY think it looks disgusting and unfeminine (i have natural really dark brown hairs).

If you don't like them then shave them, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or whether celebs do or do not shave theirs!

Oh and con-tray to popular belief your arm hairs don't grow back thicker etc as I shaved mine for years before i started waxing them and they always grew back the same as before i used to shave them!! ( the same applies to any hair on your body, it just feels that way as they are growing) I sometimes dont bother during winter as they're always hidden under jumpers and my arms are never hairer than before or thicker than before!

And if your talking about armPIT hair, then again shave them if you want, however dont forget them when you going out!!! I always wax them as i dont like them long it feels all itchy and gross

Answer 2

Hi, all i say is do what you want to do. If your not in a relationship then no one is going to see under your armpits as you will be covered up as its winter, just as long as you shave before going to any christmas party unless your planning on wearing winter woolies. But whilst you are having a shower it doesnt take 2 seconds to go over your pits quickly with a razor. You can do it whilst you leave your conditioner on your hair for the 1 min.
There is no excuses nowadays.

Answer 3

DO NOT SHAVE YOUR ARMS!!!
If you were to shave on a regular basis, the follicles which grow back will be thicker and darker. Before too long, you'll be at it once a week or risk looking like a gorilla.

If you feel you have too much hair on your arms, try waxing.
Alternative (and longer lasting) treatments include electrolysis, toning or laser treatment.

Ta.

Answer 4

I started shaving my forearms because I had skin allergies and the hair on my arms was causing me to itch terribly. Now, I love it. I shave them every couple days or so, and they're nice and smooth and very soft, especially with a little bit of lotion. It doesn't take more than a couple of minutes, and it's worth it, at least to me. It feels weird at first, because you're used to having the hair there even if you don't pay attention to it, and when the sleeve of your shirt rubs against your hairless skin you'll notice the difference, but you'll get used to it.

Answer 5

Its not just a matter of appearance, its also a matter of hygiene. Arm pit hair can cause odor and itching. I would think that no matter the season you should shave regularly, maybe not everyday but at least to prevent the "bush".

Answer 6

I don't shave my arms, but I have thin blonde hair on my arms...I tried the whole shaving thing, but it's like after you shave everything else, you don't feel like shaving your arms. If you don't like them, you could try trimming rather than shaving, it's less maintenance that way.

Answer 7

no i dont think women shouldnt shave their actual arms but i think waxing or shaving your arm pits is a good idea!
If your hair on your arms is dark or excessive i would say wax it as it gets lighter and finer.

Answer 8

Arms - defininitely NOT. Under arms - YES. If you shave your arms the hair will only grow back thicker each time - leave well alone - you will be doing it forever if you start!

Answer 9

Hey u do need to shave your arms or you will get germs and it will make u feel cool. It is just normal.

Answer 10

hell no! Don't sweat the small stuff. I dig natural chicks. If you're not inclined to shave your arms, screw any guy who needs a shaved-armed girl, he's not right for you!
