dark arm hair question

Original post by Amor2009

Hey everyone,

I don't know what to do. I have dark drown arm hair. All of my life I have not cared. But I don't really like how it looks against my wedding dress. I don't want to wax it off... it seems like a pain to up keep. I was thinking of bleaching it. Has anyone ever done that? Does it look to blonde? Also, it you have done it... what bleach do you use?? I don't know what to do.

Do you think I should just not care and leave it. Or should I bleach it??

I know this is so random. I just don't know!!

Thanks for the help!

I wax it and i know you said you dont want to bc of the up keep but its less of an up keep than bleaching. Waxing lasts a month or so, with my arms it takes longer to grow back. With bleaching you'd have to do more often.

I wouldn't bleach, if anything just nair it the night before if you really dont want to wax



i agree... with waxing youre good for like 2 weeks to a month depending on how fast your hair grows... i would really think twice about shaving it, your hair will grow back thicker

I'm actually not touching mine and hoping for the best. I know that wasn't really helpful lol, but for me it would look more obvious and unnatural and wrong if I did do it rather than leave it be.

You're probably going to think I'm crazy...but i shave my arms literally every day...

I have RIDICULOUSLY hairy arms and it drove me crazy all my life...they called me amanda bonilla mcgilla gorilla...it was terrible!! So, in college, my sophomore year, I started shaving it. My arms are always soft, and the hair doesn't grow back more...that's a myth. You could shave it off for the wedding and then let it grow back afterwards. I've tried the bleaching thing, and it actually made it look worse. And no, my arms are not prickly...as long as you shave the morning of, you'll be fine. Good luck!!
