Question for girls with dark/a lot of arm hair

I noticed in the pictures from my engagement party just how much you can see my arm hair. Its dark and I have pale skin, and I know that I will definitly be kinda pale at the time of the wedding.

Soo my question is I want to lighten it, but not wax or shave it, has anyone ever done this?
What should I use?

I don't want it to be seen in my wedding photos

You can just bleach your arm hair. If you go to any beauty supply store, buy the stuff that is meant for the face and just use it on your arms. I do it all the time during the summer.

Is it going to make it blond or just a lighter brown? Thanks...is there a specific brand that is good to use? I'm a little nervous

JOLEN is the best brand (Put an accent over the e.)

You can get it at most drug stores. Sally Hansens is good, but burns a bit on me.

It will lighten it to be blonde, but if you have pale skin, it will look great and blend right in! I used to do it all the time, it will look like you have no arm hair (provided you leave the bleach on long enough)

Just make sure you test it on a small patch of your skin forst...some people have minor irritancies to it.

Waxing is also great, thats what I do now.

Good luck, FM if you have any questions.

I think bleach dark hair looks worse than leaving it. It is so obviously bleached that it looks bad. I waxed my arms for the first time two months ago. It is fabulous and I am completely addicted.

Thats why I don't want it be blond, just a lighter brown. and I don't want to wax it b/c I don't want to have to wax it forever. It normally doesn't bother me that it is there.
