Question

im a girl and i have think, dark brown hair. so i have arm hair. so what do i do bout tht?

Answer 1

You either ape it or you wax it!

I hope the following points will assist you with your decision in relation to hair removal.

Shaving
Pros: Immediate result, relative pain free and fast! Does not remove your fake tan.
Cons: Potentially cut yourself, hair grows more stubby and reappear sooner. Skin becomes "rough" over time if you don't moisturise your arms.

Laser
Pros: Longterm permanent reduction (reduction, not removal please don't get mixed up).
Cons: Can be painful (depending on your pain threshold), minimise sun exposure during treatment, can cause deep tissue scar if not properly administered by qualified nurse/practitioner.

Wax:
Pros: Immediate result, exfoliate your skin at the same time. Takes longer to reappear (providing that the hair follicle didn't break).Longer term use may lead to finer hair and possibly no regrowth.
Cons: Possible burn from hot wax, sticky, can be messy, painful and will remove your fake tan.

Bleach
Pros: Will eventually give your hair a lighter colour, pain free,
Cons: Does not remove hair and does not work well for dark-skinned individuals.

Epilation
Pros: Immediate results and longterm use will result in finer regrowth with possible no regrowth. Exfoliate your skin at the same time.
Cons: Painful, if hair break regrowth will be like you've shaved. Too much pressure applied may result in blisters/burn skin.

There are many more pros and cons for the mentioned methods however, you decide what's best for you.

I chose to wax as well as epilation. I got used to the pain. After years of using both methods, results are looking quite encouraging.

Just remember that hair follicles aide your body to rid of toxins through sweat glands so even if there is a promise to permanently remove your hair - no sweat = less toxin removed from your body.

Good luck!

Answer 2

I am a dirty blonde and I have pretty dark arm hair, and a lot of it. But shaving it would be too obvious, so I just leave it. Most people won't judge you by your arm hair because they have flaws, too. Everybody does. So, try not ot be self conscious about it- by showing your confident, you won't be calling so much attention to stuff you really have doubts about.

Answer 3

I wouldn't worry about it. Arm hair's supposed to be there. You could bleach it with those all over body bleaching kits if it still bothers you, but I suggest TAKING A LOOK IN THE MIRROR LOL. Bye.

Answer 4

Salons wax arm hair for about $20-$50 depending on where you go, or your could try putting Nair or another depliatory on it, do not shave it itll grown back noticeably jagged.

Answer 5

Some people choose to either shave,wax, or use razorless things such as veet & nair to remove the hair on their arms.

Answer 6

You could always shave it but then it would be such a hassle to shave them everyday because of the stubble. or waxing, if you are brave enough! you could go to a salon and they would do it for a reasonable price. if your arm hair isnt that long you could dye it to your skin color. go to a local drug store and dye it so it matches your skin and it isn't noticable. dont worry! tons of girls have arm hair and it doesnt bother them much :)

Answer 7

if your bothered by it then wax it. I don't mind the hair. Its just natural to have some arm hair. But if its like an ape i would either wax it or get it trimmed.

Answer 8

don't shave it, it'll only make it worse, but someone probably already said that. If you're really desperate there's a painless procedure called laser hair removal...

Answer 9

Shave it because veet and nair hurts your pits. Even though you have to shave it a lot, if you wear long-sleeve shirts you can't see it. But shave it, that is what a lot of people do. If you don't it looks weird and guys think it is nasty!!!!!!!

Answer 10

laser hair removal. it's pricey but the results are permanent. think of all the money you'd be saving on razors or waxing for the rest of your life.
