My arms are really hairy especially for a girl. It doesn't really bother me because I see nothing wrong with it. I shave areas like me underarms and legs regularly, but I don't see the need to do so for my arms. However, I'm sometimes joked on by other people because of it. I don't really care about the comments and usually just brush it off but I see other people shaving their arms also. Give me your opinion should I just shave it?

Do whatever makes you feel good but I personally would shave it off.

Don't shave your arms, it isn't natural. I don't shave mine and sometimes people say something but think about it I means it's so much better than having to shave your arms every single day especially in the summer.

If you shave your arms, it will come back really prickly like your legs, making it really uncomfortable for anyone to touch you arms. If you are really self conscious, you could try bleaching it which would make it less noticeable to the eye and it won't prick anyone!! Hope that helped

Well mines are somewhat like yours but not that hairy n yea my friends shaves theirs too but I wouldn't mainly because wen you shave your hairs grow thicker & it feels really wired when it starts to grow back n you have to do it more often so your arms won't look ugly

I think it's alright like the first time a shaved they came back so poking and I dislike it and remember you are going to have to shave your legs,armpits,and arms so I think you shouldn't 😃

I have the same problemmy arms are exactly like yours I don't shave them because it would be high maintenance and I'm too lazy to shave two extra limbs 😏 also many people don't shave thier arms so don't feel bad or embarrassed about it.

@sadia that's not true... hair doesn't grow back thicker when you shave it. but I do agree, it will be tedious to have to shave them everyday so that they won't come back prickly.

I am the same as you. I don't shave them I leave them. Once you shave they'll come out thicker and hairier.

I would nair or veet instead of shavin them but if you shave them they won't come in prickly and the hair just appears thicker and darker after you shave any hair because of your razors thts wht I was told by my teacher lol

I had the exact same problem! I totally just grabbed a razor some nice shaving cream & ham problem solved. My arms felt so soft & honestly made ne feel better about myself. don't know why it took me so long to do it!

Shaving doesn't make the hair grow back thicker. It just seems that way because its cut on a blunt end. I shave my arms because they were VERY hairy. And it really isn't bad at all. If you keep up with it your arms are like baby smooth. I say go for it. It made me feel a lot better about myself.

If it doesn't bother you, don't do anything! I have pretty hairy arms &I don't like it even tho it's light. I actually use a bikini shaver & trim it every so often. Easier, faster, don't have to do it as often as shaving.

If you don't mind it, don't shave it. Its your body, you do what youre comfortable with :)

Mine look the same. Lots of people comment and ask why I don't shave them and I just say that I don't want to. I think people comment to upset you but if you just answer them politely they'll realize that you aren't bothered by it so there's no point picking on you about it. I hope that made sense :)

I have the same problem. But don't shave! You'll have to keep up with it and buy lots more shaving cream. Try waxing or just dealing with it.

Every one I know with dark hair shaves their arms! It looks better and (at least in my experience) it doesn't grow back thicker. You could also try veet or waxing. I just think a smooth look is so much better!

I wax mine and I only have to do it once every 2 months!

If it doesn't bother you- don't do it. My friend does it and now her arms feel the way your legs do after you don't shave for a few days.
