    Arm hair.
    I was wondering if it is normal to shave your arm hair? No one I know does it, and someone I know said it gave you cancer, but I really doubt that. Also, do you think that instead, I could use nair on it? Because it is hair removal, and it would be easier right? Any tips?

    1.) How old are you?
    2.) Are you a male/female?

    Shaving underarm hair is normal for women. If you are talking about shaving hair other than arm hair, hmmm, most girls don't do that. I'm not really even sure why you would do that.

    Now, your issue of cancer. I don't know where you heard that, but it is in no way true. Won't happen, no way. You will NOT get cancer by shaving ANY part of your body.

    No, most girls don't shave their arms. I don't know any who do, but it's really your choice. If you're going to do it though, you have to keep up with it, although I don't know how fast it grows. If you do it, shave the way the hair grows, so you don't get prickly stubble on your arms.

    Most girls I know do shave their arms. I am have been shaving my arms for about 5 years. I really think that it is an age group thing, like I just graduated high school and most of my friends do shave their arms, but my mom thinks I'm crazy for doing it, especially since I have blond hair and I didn't even have that much arm hair anyway. I just think that your arms look better when they are shaved. I wouldn't use Nair, it smells bad and I have only used it once on my legs and it didn't even work. Oh and shaving your arms doesn't cause cancer. I hope this helps!:)
