Excessive arm hair?!?! *update*

Posted in Wedding Attire 26

So After studying a picture of me in my dress I realize the I 1 have extremely excessive arm hair @ it's jet black and I'm relatively pale... So this leads to the age old question... Do I shave it? Bleach it? or just leave it be and have ape arms? *update* Today I did a trial run... On a small patch...

Today I did a trial run... On a small patch on one arm I used nair... On a small patch on the other I shaved it....

I'm going to wait a few days to see the results but as of right now the area I shaved is much smoother!

    I was JUST thinking about this like yesterday! super weird! I think maybe I will try shaving a small area, and seeing how that goes. I dont want it to feel like the 2nd day after I shaved me legs! Smiley smile thanks for making this post!!

    I shave mine and I love it! I only need to do it about every week or two. It is nothing like shaving your legs, it doesn't have the same stubble. I was worried about starting because my legs are so bad I have to shave every day to every other day TOPS.

    I have the same issue, and I actually do shave mine. It doesn't grow back darker or thicker as the myths will have you believe hahaha. It grows back soft for me, not at all like leg hair. It stays smooth for a few days. I have used Nair before but it just takes too much time. No matter what you decide to do, if you've never done anything before, just try (wax, shave, nair, etc) on a small area of the arm first to see how you'll react.
