I shaved my arms in middle school but it was annoying for me to constantly keep shaving once the hair would come out. It grew out fast & the stubble was easily felt. I don't shave them anymore , it doesn't bug me. Maybe nairing it would be better than shaving.

I think waxing would be better, saves you a lot of time and effort since shaving has to be done daily.

Don't shave!
Use nair!
Works very good
But you have to keep your arms up in the shower
But totally worth it

I personally see no point. Cuz nobody looks at arm hair on a girl and says damn that's some nasty ass arm hair. You know? Lol I don't think its something people pay attention to unless you do it cuz you just don't like the feeling of it.

Lol Gabrielle! I agree, it is normal to have arm hair, I do think bare looks good but imagine forgetting to shave one day and someone touched your arm and felt stubble...eek!

And stubble hurts when its on you're arm! My sister shaves her arms and I accidentally rubbed up against her the other day and it felt like it took the top layer of my skin off lol.

I agree with Ariana, I when I see a jungle growing out of someone's arm I find it kinda nasty not to be mean or anything, it's just my opinion

But only if its super long and really noticeable, if its not super long and not really visible it doesn't matter

Don't! It'll grow back thicker. If you really want to I'd say wax but I would say don't.

Ariana , were talking about just arms! Lol the pits not being shaved are pretty gross to me

I shave, the hair on my arms and thighs grow super slow so I don't have to do it often. my lower legs and pits are are whole different story though lol.

I know what I said and about arm hair too.

Don't shave your arms, if anything wax them. Prickly arm stubble is more of a turn off than normal hair on your arms.

A lot of people only do legs. I suggest if it's something like a party, wedding, get together... whatever day feels special ,do it. But you don't really need to do arms. Not important. ALTHOUGH LEGS AND UNDERARMS -> must.

I used to shave my arms but it grows back quickly so I suggest you wax

DO NOT shave your arms the hairs come back really fast but they come back thicker and the hairs are much darker and prickly if any thing wax them x

Don't shave it grows back thicker and darker. However I am planning in nairing my arms because of swim practice.

Girl, if your hair is not noticeable then don't even! My friend did it to herself and she constantly has to keep shaving because she can't stand the stubble feeling that comes after. But if you feel like you have very thick coarse dark hair then consider waxing! But regardless you are beautiful just the way you are!

Just bleach it. Don't shave or Nair it.

I personally shave them because I do think that having underarm hairs are gross. But if you aren't sensitive to nair like myself then I say go with it.
I do have a question myself though, how to prevent undergrowth hair? Because when I got my armpit waxed I have sooo much undergrowth that it hurts anf not even doing scrubs help. :(
