    Default Waxing arm hair

    Hi, I'm new and I was so happy to find this site and so many women with the same problems that I have!
    I have a lot of arm hair that's quite thick and long. I've decided that I want to wax it, but I'm nervous about when it grows back and of people's reactions when they notice it. What are your experiences with stuff like this?

    I shaved my arms when I was a kid (didn't know better) and of course it grew back like crazy ... so now I usually Nair it. It grows back slow and looks pretty normal when it does, but people definitely notice and say things like "do you shave your arms?" They don't get how hairy my arms get without damage control ...
    So you might get funny looks, but if waxing makes you feel better, do it!

    yes, use Nair Hair Removal Cream, you can get it at the store. it works pretty well though! waxing can also be your second option. Using cream is painless, only 7 minutes and POOF! It grows back within 2 weeks, but not so fast. Dont put it on for too long or it will make your skin feels itchy. 7 minutes is enuf.

    Just try, you will love the result (I love it), if you dont like it then you can always stop. People might notice it for the very first time but so what, they'll get use to it somehow, if they ask you then tell them you're trying new things and you dont find it wrong... and tell them it's fun, dont care too much what people say. What makes you feel more confident and happy is the key! it's your life anyway! good luck!
