Shave my arms?

Question

Hi guys,
I have superrr hairy arms for a 15 year old girl and I’m not sure whether I should just shave them or not. I’ve read online and all of it just says not too because it’s too much effort but I come from a really hairy Australian family and that’s what all of my female relatives have done. 😂
I’ve also spoken to my friends who have shaved theirs and they don’t seem too bothered about it and say it’s just like shaving your legs. I tried bleaching them but it just looked so bad: just pure white hairs on tan skin. Just wanted to get some other people’s opinions 👌

Answer

I shave mine and it takes ages to grow back. And I have pale white skin and white hair.nothing bad about shaving arms but also nothing wrong with hair on arms. I’d say most girls at school keep their arm and thigh hair though.

Answer

I swear it’s not worth it. I have really dark and thick arm hair. One time I shaved it and it was the worst, because everyone commented on the fact that I did. It ended up making me more self-conscious. Trust me learning to accept the fact that I have that hair is hard but it is worth it. ( I am 16 btw)

Answer

I shave mine too, I don’t need to do it as often as my legs and it doesn’t take nearly as long

Answer

Honestly, my arms are probably hairier than yours, and I don't shave them. The hair doesn't bother me (usually). As a girl, I sometimes feel like I shouldn't shave away my insecurities. It might sound stupid, but I personally wouldn't want to perpetuate the belief that girls should show/have less hair than guys. ANYWAYS, as long as it's for YOU and not because you feel pressured, shave whatever you want. Maybe you could try one of those hair removal creams to make it simple.

Answer

do not shave them, is what ill say. i know a gal who does and it feels awful to even accidentally graze her prickly ass arm. no one ACTUALLY notices arm hair. it’s just your building it up in your head. not worth it to shave.

Answer

All these comments are really helpful, thank you!!

Answer

your arms are beautiful, don’t worry

Answer

mine and i don’t shave. if you shave, theyll just get thicker and way more black so please don’t

Answer

Sometimes I shave mine too, but in my opinion if you don't do it for yourself, because You don't like it, you should try to learn not to care. It's not that easy but I'm sure you can do it if that's the case! (I'm trying too) 😊

Answer

I would shave them! I shave mine every few weeks and I have no problem with it.
