Arm Hair

[Hootie]

My ex had a semi-harry back and because he lifted weights he would shave everywhere but of course couldn't reach his back. Well he ordered all that stupid crap like epil stop and spray and even Nads....didn't work. So I went out and picked him up a bottle of Nair....

SO GROSS. He laid on his stomach on our bed and i put that stinky, goopy pink stuff on and left it there for like a minute or so. Then I took a warm wash cloth and wiped up clumps of hair. I about GAGED. Plus he had some sweat pimples and the stuff was so strong they started bleeding

Then...I was brilliant and decided to try it on my bikini line.... OH DO NOT GO THERE! It burned my skin so bad! I couldn't touch that area with a razor for like a week cuz it hurt.

So,proof shows, in my two cases, that it does work.

I have been waxing my arms since the fifth grade b/c I felt like a guy b/c though I didn't have a lot of arm hair, the hair that I did have was very dark. Therefore I felt like a man and I hated it. I don't even know if my hair grows back anymore since it's been ripped out millions of times. I don't remember what it looks like or feels like to have hair on my arms either. I dunno, I think that'd be weird!

I can't believe I'm posting this...

I threw shot put for so long that I have no hair for a few inches above my right wrist from taping it. The few hairs that do grow in are gross...so I shave my arms. I've been doing it since like freshman year...every couple weeks. I have blonde hair everywhere but that wrist so it isn't very noticeable...I just hate body hair, it creeps me out.

Despite my Southern European heritage (well, my mother is of Southern European descent), I lucked out in the body hair department... what arm hair I have is black although so baby fine as to be invisible, so I've never worried about it.

My roommate last year had her arms waxed whenever she went for a bikini wax, they looked really good.

That's just it. I don't need
to do it. My hair is fine and
blonde, but I notice it. And
I really like that clean look.
It looks so smooth and polished.

Eh...I doubt I'll be doing it.
But it's been fun chatting
about it.

I Nair mine. I used to DIY-wax, and I didn't think it hurt that bad, but Nair is just easier.

I second the not using it on your bikini line. I will never make that mistake again!

I never knew that women shaved, waxed, or naired their arms. I have never even heard of it. I knew a few women who bleached their arm hair to lighten the dark color, but they didn't completely remove it. I guess i am lucky that I have very light body hair.

Maybe it's just me but what would the regrowth look like if you shaved your arms? Wouldn't it get stubbly???
