Hairy arms...

Veronica, on January 10, 2019 at 7:14 PM Posted in Hair and Makeup 1 11
Brides out there with dark hair on their forearms.... did you decide to shave/wax or leave it for the wedding? I have never personally touch my arms.

    I’ll probably shave. I do it about twice a year whenever it starts to bug me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    I used to shave my arms as a teen. I stopped until I noticed that the hair would grow back thicker every time. I stopped. If my hair truly bothers me, i would bleach it.

    I’ve been shaving my arms for 20 years lol. And no one knows, they are surprised if I tell them.

    Flowing this thread. I've been toying with waxing for my pre-wedding boudoir shoot.... can't decide will probably ask my waxer about it.

    Hello Veronica! It's wonderful to have you in our community!

    I personally don't shave or wax my arms yet, (although trust me...I've thought about it many times!) but my best friend does and she swears by it! Like Peggy said, no one notices that her arms are waxed so it's not one of those things that people will notice is gone! I know it makes her feel more comfortable and she says, after waxing several times, that the hair isn't growing back as thick as it previously was!

    Bleach them! That's what I have done for the last ten years! It's amazing. Whatever you do, don't shave them! Imagine your prickly leg hair on your arms...sounds so uncomfortable. Bleaching makes the hair virtually invisible (if you're light skinned like me) and the hair stays so smooth. I do it about once a month Smiley smile

    I did once in middle school and people noticed hahaha. I think I'll leave it for my wedding even tho I was thinking of bleaching them just to test out how i felt about it.

    Does it make you self conscious? Do you not like it, or does your fiance not like it? If you are fine with it and he is, leave it! If you don't want arm hair (like me), you can shave/wax/nair/bleach/laser hair removal! I shave my arms anyway and am getting laser hair removal this year.

    Following this. I have very dark hair on my arms and it is very obvious with my sleeveless wedding dress. I'm considering having them waxed but I am not sure.

    It’s me who doesn’t like how thick and dark it gets.
