Arm waxing?

Okay, I have hideously hairy arms and have been self consious of them all my life. So when I was about 12 I used hair removal cream weekly to look normal, only that just made the hair grow back faster and thicker and people kept asking if I shave my arms, which was not good. So I let my arm hair grow back however now its very long and thick (not to mention still dark) so to try and make it seem less obvious I recently used a hair lightener cream, which was okay untill my dark roots grew back and I now have black and blonde long arm hair, I cant keep using the hair lightener cream to do the roots as it makes the tips lighter and lighter each time I use it so the tips are almost white now, while the roots are black! :| Argh And then I heard you can get your arms waxed, which I havent tried but am considering. I dont know tho, as for the 4 weeks it takes to grow back everyone will be asking if I have shaved them. But apparently when they do grow back they are finer and lighter, is this true? As that is what I want, not hairy arms/ different coloured arm hair/ “bare” arms. I am sick of people telling me I have really hairy arms, and compared to everyone else I do! What can I do to make the hairs finer and less visible? Please help! Anyone with experience?

Answer #6

waxing should make it come back thinner and finer… maybe with lighter color. but you know…it’s like shaving your legs. once you start you can’t stop… so if it only takes like 4 weeks for it to grow back I would wax them every 4 weeks… and if someone were to ask you where the hair went… just tell them the truth. or if your a joking around kind of person like me… say something like oh it fell out because I do too much drugs.lol.

Answer #7

look waxing is not good and neither is the chemicals try threading its better for your skin and its easy to do google it or if there are salons that do it try this it is great I do it and love it

Answer #8

I agree with most people…hmm threading is gonna hurt alott… its done with a thread I agree you should just wax it and then slowly your growth will get slow by time :)
