Try bleaching your arm hair if its dark. You don't have to do it as often at shaving.

Me being Mexican I had thick long and dark hair. I was always wearing a jacket just to hide it. I used nair and it worked but it was a little too strong for my skin to handle. plus, my hair grows super fast. within a few days my arms were prickly. so I decided to just shave it. and I haven't turned back.

Don't shave! It grows back, and not the way you want it to. If anything wax it. I have hairy arms too, but I just accept it. Just as long as you don't have hairy arm pits you're good to go. (we can't be having that!)

Don't shave!! I use a hair bleach product from Sally Hansen for body hair. its amazing. you have to bleach it once in a few weeks but its great!! not exy at all, you don't have to shave it off so it won't grow back thicker. it just makes you look like you have no hair! search it up!

I think mine might be hairy-er. And I agree,with some, I used to hate it but I got over. once you leave hs what ppl think doesn't really matter..so don't do it kuz other ppl think its not attractive, do it kuz you really want to. My friends who shave em, have prickly arms..that is kinda annoying.

Most people don't really notice arm hair unless its like man hair on your arms but I think the best thing to do is wax. It lasts for weeks and your arms become so smooth. (I'm a beauty therapist)

You can get it waxed..after waxing d hairs don't grow fast and the arms are also not prickly rather they become soft and smooth.

I would leave it be, waxing or shaving can cause more problems like icky ingrown hairs or razor bumps!

I shave mine as well. I used to get them waxed but it gets expensive having to keep up with it. my hair doesn't grow back thicker by shaving and I actually don't keep up with it as much as I should but it doesn't bother me. Lol I'll go months without shaving.

Well I consider appearance vs. touch. Whether you wax or shave, at some point your arms are going to feel like a porcupine. I HATE that! I shaved my arms once, never again!

I used to be really insecure about that too I just got over it eventually. Shaving/waxing them makes it grow back THICKER and DARKER so I wouldnt recommend it... waxing is better though because it gets the roots and the thicker and darker effects could be minimized. But honestly waxing hurts. Best advice is to love your flaws because your not the only one worrying about your arms and really nobody is staring at your arms.

Do not shave them! The hair grows back thicker and darker!

The hair doesn't grow back darker! Think about it, your really just cutting the hair, and that doesn't affect the growth, it just appears thicker and darker because it has a blunt edge after shaving...

I bleach them. I used to shave. But then I didn't have time to shave every 2 days. So I waited till they grew out and now I bleach them! It Works Bette than waxing and shaving.

My opinion is just that.. You should never shave your arm! Hair is better then unsoft stubbs!

I don't think it's ugly but if you're not confident about wearing short sleeves in the summer you have a few options. You can either learn to love it, wax, shave, laser hair removal, nair, or epilator. I prefer epilator to be honest. It's made my hair so fine that I go pretty much 3 months before I have to do it again.

I personally think hairless arms look weird. But it's all a matter or opinion I suppose. I think everyone should keep their body hair in whatever way makes them most comfortable in their own skin. :)
