Waxing arms

I waxed my forearms for the second time just a few days ago and already the hairs are growing back. WTF? I thought it ought to last a week or two at least!? (They were fully grown out when I waxed them btw)

Hairs will get less prominent with repeated waxes.

Bear in mind that hair grows in cycles and you need to wax all the cycles consecutively before you will notice a lasting effect.

It does grow back quite quickly but its not thick so its coooooooool. And yeah keep doing it and it'll grow back less thick. Yay :smile:

It must look odd to have hairless arms, and wouldn't shaving give you horrible stubble?

no actually i personally feel great after I wax them 'cos u're arms are so smooth and hairless, and I think it looks nice especially when u're wearing strappy tops. :smile:

I'm sure it does :smile:

I just feel odd that we have to get rid of natural things, don't get me wrong, I shave everyday :P I just wish we didn't "need" to.

I have quite hairy forearms and exist quite normally in society. I even have a boyfriend. Wow.

I have the exactly the same problem, but i wouldnt worry 2 much because they wont be very noticeable for another two weeks or so. It's unfortunate thought that hair tends to grow faster in the heat =(
