Hey you beauty gurus.I am new to asking these q's so ya'll be a darling and try to answer them.My first question is kind of embarrasing but I have been wondering for awhile,so here goes.OK.Are you supposed to shave your arms??For along time I thought that you shouldn't bcuz the hair grows back thicker and darker, but then I found out that alot of girls shave them and then just don't stop.I really need some assistance.

Yes, some girls and women shave their arms. It is your own personal choice whether or not to shave your arms. You can shave your arms if you want to, but it's okay not to shave them.

The hair doesn't essentially grow back thicker after shaving. It only seems that way because the razor blunts the hair ends and makes them feel stiff.

I personally don't shave my arms and my hair is brunette. My arm hairs are not thick and are generally dirty blonde. If the hair on your arms is overbearing and shaggy, than go ahead. it's your personal decision. i don't think i would shave my arms bc i would be afraid it would grow back funky or too thick. Hope that helps!

also..to keep them soft and when they grow back to look and feel less blunt from shaving why not try waxing them?..the results will last a lot longer also.

My wife, Spanish back ground. Has naturally thick hairy arms. She tried shaving before but it grew in thicker. The only thing that helped and lasted longer was Waxing. YES, Girls or women do wax their arms.

i dont think that its a good thing or a bad thing to shave your arms i shave my arms and wish i had never started because the hair grows back too quick. people always used to say howw hairy my arms were and then when i did shave they go, do you shave your arms!!man, you can't please them!!

Well I have been shaving my arms since I was in Jr high which has been over six years ago! But if you hair is blonde I would suggest not to because they grow back think..if you want you can use Nair..but while using the product make sure you keep it on for like 8 mins. They say that max is 10. You can message me for more details if youd like.

I think people all over shave their arms, people sometimes shave everything. It is possible to shave or wax. The bad thing about shaving is that you will have to do everyday, sometimes twice, because inbetween shaving they will go stubbly. Why don't you try trimming the hair, carefully, with scissors. You will have to trim them every couple of days/weeks though. But you will have to be carefull about it, but still I do the same.
