Oh goodness, I had the same thought, I never did it but I have seen girls who have, the hair grows back black, or darker or normal brown, and super thick!

Hydrogen peroxide makes your hairs thinner and blonde so you can't see them.. So does lemon juice in sunlight :o

I've been shaving mine for 6 years and they hardly grow back and they aren't dark.

I shave my arms. I have dark hair that's why. It doesn't grow back thick. In fact, when it grows back it's lighter for me

I've been shaving mine for at least 3 years. I love it and hate the hair. Lol. The hair does not grow back thicker. It just grows back more blunt so it only looks thicker.

I've been shaving my arms for 6 years now and I agree with Nichole V. The hair is finer and now I only have to shave them like once every 2 weeks and that's only because I don't want the hubby to feel the spikes. :-) but its fine I'm glad I decided to shave them because they were really hairy. And my hair is natural black.

I shave mine and it only takes ten seconds every other day and you feel so much better about yourself. Mine were horrible and I'm so glad I shaved them! I did it about two years ago and still don't regret it

I did it once when I was like 13, but I think it grew back thicker. I never did again, and wouldn't recommend it.

Laser or wax. Shave makes it grow thicker.

U could try waxing to thin the hair regrowth! Do not shave!!

I have shaved my arms since I was about 13, I am 30 now. For 17 years I have seen it get lighter, finer and more sporadic. Now there is really nothing there and I only so it about once a month.

Don't … absolutely not

By the way, it's a myth that hair grows back thicker after shaving, it just seems thicker because it has a blunt end from being cut.

I've been shaving mine for years, I do it everytime I'm in the shower, it doesn't get the chance to grow back. It looks great and always has.

DON'T SHAVE!!! I did once and it was one of the worst mistakes. I had to let it grow out and now it's normal again. So DON'T SHAVE!!! Bleach it or something.

I too have hairy arms, I shaved them once but I really regretted it as soon as it started to grow back, they itched like hell and were really uncomfortable! I've never shaved then again!
