I have a lot of hair on my arms. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it or make it less noticeable?
 
Many girls begin shaving their arms during their teen years. Shaving your arms is a great way to get rid of hair, especially if you have a lot of hair or very dark hair. The only problem with shaving your arms is that it can be difficult, and you may end up cutting yourself, most of the time near your wrists or elbows. Not to mention the stubble…
 
Waxing is another option, which can be very painful, but it lasts longer and you won’t get cuts from waxing. Using a hair removal lotion or gel is also a possibility if your skin isn’t too sensitive.
 
If you live in a sunny climate, you can try tanning outside in the warmer days. This will both lighten your hair and darken your skin, making your hair less noticeable.
 
All of these are great ways to lighten the hair or get rid of it altogether. Try chatting up your mom before you take action, though. She might be able to point ya in the right direction.

MOD MOD I have alot of peach fuzz on my upper lip if you know what I mean, but anyway when I talk to boys they sometimes notice it. My mom said she wants me to wait because she thinks if I wax it might grow back thicker. Im in the 6th grade. I have really strong hairy genes from my dad. So what should I do.




Hey girlie. Talk to your mom about it again because there's not much else you can do besides dying it a lighter color. It might grow back thicker if you wax it, but that will be something you have to risk. So, before you do that, make the best decision for you with your mom.

MOD MOD MOD!!
I really want to start shaving my legs but my mom says it just grows back darker and bushier, I have also heard that that is a myth. Is it a myth, cuz i cant wear shorts!




Hey girlie. In my opinion, leg hair grows back thicker, but not by that much. Many times it's hard to convince moms to let their daughters start shaving. Just keep talking to her though, and she will eventually let you.

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
