S/O waxing

Does anybody wax their arms? What do you think about it? Does it come back soft? How long does the hair have to be to wax them again?

My arm hair is a little lighter than the hair on my head (see picture below) and it's fine and long. It doesn't bother me on a daily basis, but when I think about it, I get self-conscious. Plus I don't hairy man-arms for my wedding.

Thoughts?

Re: S/O waxing

  • I am a hairy chick. But, I did not wax my arms for my wedding. It is not that noticeable in most of the pics.
  • Hairless arms seems weird to me. 

    When I was on the swim team (I was 12? 13, maybe?) everyone shaved their body (except head) for competition. I didn't want to shave my arms so I cut the hairs shorter with scissors. I honestly didn't notice a difference, but I have really light arm hair, lol I don't know if that would make a difference for you or not... 

    but honestly, someone's arm hair is NOT what I look at when I look at wedding photos.

  • I have a friend who shaves her arms... and now she can't go a day without doing it. Granted, she has slightly darker hair than you, but she gets darker-than-they-were stubblies and is pissed she ever started doing it. So that's maybe something to think about!

    That's what I'm afraid of. My BFF shaves her's everyother day. She had dark hair, but it's very fine.

  • I shave my arms.  I don't do it daily, but if I don't do it at all, I have very Persian arms (light skinned + dark think excessive hair = no).

    I shave about once a week or so.. really as I remember (less in the winter of course)
