Default arm hair

hey all. so i was just diagnosed with pcos today. and really happy to have found this wonderful board. i've been reading and learning about so many things! well, my reason for this post is that i've had excessive, dark arm hair that has always bothered me. i've been shaving my arms for years now. i'm wondering do any of ya'll do the same? and if so, what's your routine? anything that really works well for you?

thanks, ladies!

Hi! I too have thick, dark arm hair and have been shaving them for many years now. So long, that I only have to do it like once a week or even longer. Hey, whatever makes you feel better right???

I used to shave it then I bought an epilator and it works awesome! no more stubble and I only have to do it every 2 weeks or so.

I shave mine everyday, I've been doing it for about 4 years now. Its kind of annoying, but I like the feel of my naked arms as opposed to my hairy ones!

I wax mine. Found it helps with the keratosis pilaris, as well as looking better.

Pina - I shave up to my elbows. Usually I don't go any farther. I am much less hairy up there!

I wax. I had it done professionally a few times and watched the technique. Then I went to Sally Beauty Supply and bought a wax heater, wax and muslin strips and now I do it myself. It is a great exfoliator. When my hair was thick and dark it lasted about 4 weeks. Met & Spiro have helped make it thinner and lighter as well as years of waxing, so now I only wax every 6 - 8 weeks.
