HAIR - not on the head

Hello, I was wondering if you girls could help me.
People were mentioning how for the wedding, I should wax my arms. (picture purposes) I am not a hairy person and my arm hair is very blond and light.

For those of you who don't normally wax your arms, will you be doing so for the wedding?

TIA!

seriously, take a picture of yourself in a tank top. if you dont have a problem with how it looks, it is probably fine!! i wouldnt recommend doing this. i really dont think its worth it.

when i was in HS i had the urge to Nair my arms. dont ask me why - i am not even that hairy!. anyway, i loved how smooth they felt!...but when they started growing back it was very annoying!!! itchy and stumbly. yuck. you dont want that on your HM. lol.

so i say no, unless you are uncomfortable with how it looks in pictures..

Thank You! That makes a lot of sense - I'll start looking at pictures and see how my arms look. maybe take some new ones now with no tan.

I know a lot of people who wax the arms and it looks good but I can;t personally imagine my arms hair free - I'll feel naked.

My arms are hairfree I wax and/or shave.

If you don't have hairy arms I wouldn't recommend it. I have to shave them pretty much every day to maintain that smooth seal feel

interesting, never heard that before. I never thought about it, but probably won't think about it. If you normally don't why do it for the wedding? I wouldn't let that be a worry.

No...dont worry about it. Plus waxing can sometimes cause bumps or funky marks and you wouldnt want that on your wedding day!

Check my pictures (most in my review) - I have light brown/blond hair and I dont notice it at all!

I wouldn't think you need to if your armhair is light! And I have very sensitive skin and do get red bumps when I get waxed! I wouldn't think it's a good idea if you don't NEED to have it done!

Re: HAIR - not on the head

lol yet another thing to worry about.... if you're not hairy and whatever you do have is light, i honestly wouldnt worry to much about it... coming from an italian background, my arms are very hairy and its pretty noticeable... but in the summer when i have a tan, it tends to blend in... i shave them occassionally, but like someone said.. its not the prettiest feeling when its growing in... and you may actually become self-conscious about it when its prickly..

Re: HAIR - not on the head

I wax my arms but I'm a hairy beast. If you can't see the hair in pictures I don't see the point of waxing your arms, unless you're uncomfortable with the hair
