I shave my arms. It doesn't grow back as fast as leg hair. I used to have short blonde arm hair but once I turned 25 it turned dark =(

I kinda think hairless arms look wierd.. I can understand if their super hairy but not just a normal amount lol. I've got quite hairy arms but its not really noticeable unless your close up. Muaha one thing I remember being told a few years ago is that having hairy arms is menna be a sign of being good in bed! =O tehe

Well I don't think hair is "ugly" its our body in its natural state..society just teaches us that being completely hairless is "sexy" and what's acceptable, but in reality, it dossnt truly matter whether you want to remove your hair or not. if it really bothers you I suggest getting it waxed.

I have the same problem. But I don't want to shave them because I'm afraid it will from back darker and more noticeable. I don't want my arms to be prickly either. >.<

Unfortunately when I was younger I thought you was meant to shave your legs and arms :/ now there really dark and so I just shave them lol I was thinking of bleaching one day :)

I have heard you definitely shouldn't shave your arms, but I think it affects people differently. Personally, I haven't and never will. I bleach mine with a sally Hansen kit, which basically makes the hair way less noticeable! And you won't get stubbly arms from the regrowth like shaving would :S I bleach them about once a month.

I get it waxed. If you wax it regularly it would grow out lighter and lighter..

If you want to shave them then that's your choice. It won't grow back thicker or darker, that's a myth. It will APPEAR that its thicker or darker because the ends will be blunted from shaving and the new hair hasn't been lightened by the sun yet. Its your choice though, if it makes you uncomfortable then go for it. I don't think it's a big deal, everyone has body hair and personally I'm not going to let society tell me there is yet ANOTHER part of my body that needs to be shaved to appeal to anyone's standards. It's all about personal preference really. But I would shave over waxing. Waxing may look better but I think for arms it's just quicker to shave. A few passes with a razor and you're done, no fussing with wax. I think the result is about the same honestly.

Some people think its silly, but it can really affect your confidence in some things you wear. I'd say first try bleaching the hair, as it shouldn't be as noticeable. But if you're still overly bothered by it, you could try waxing.

My body hair is very dark and thick naturally.I have shaved my arms, naired, and waxed for years. Its a lot of maintenance. My hair didn't grow back thicker but as I aged I started to not care about the hair on my arms. Everyone has it. So why care? I'm not one of those people who refuse to shave their armpits and legs. I don't know I just think hair on your arms is not important.

I have a lot of hair in the arms (like a men yeah) and they are really dark. in the winter, I do nothing. but when summertime comes I bleach it when I have time but if I don't I really don't care much about that. I think arm hair is normal and not that ugly. :-)

I shave mine almost everyday all year, even in the winter when I wear long sleeves all the time because I just find them uncomfortable!!
