Question about shaving

SeaMaiden — Wed, 14 Sep 2016 23:46:22 GMT

Do you shave the peach fuzz on your arms? I am not talking about dark hair. Just white, blond hair that you really only see if looking at your arm in the bright sun.

i never have given it much thought...

I never gave it much thought, either, and never will. To me, it is just a natural thing and barely visible at all.

When I was younger I used to use a depilatory cream on my arms to get rid of all hair. As I got older, now 61, there is very little hair on my arms. It seems to have migrated to my face. Peach-fuzz face galore!

My daughter (now an adult) has always had blonde hair on her arms, yet she's always shaved it. She's now 41 and it doesn't look darker, stiffer, if anything you can't even see it at all now.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: I'm more concerned about the male facial hair on my chin and upper lip these days. If I let it go I could have a real goatee! Ugh!

This reminds me of the old wives tale to never shave above your knees or else it will grow back darker...never shaved above my knees as a teen and guess what? It did grow darker eventually (genetics? who knows or cares?) Now I do a shave from ankles to ...well...all the way up lol I just got an epilator from Evine on clearance and want to try it on my legs and underarms (after I grow them out the required amount...wonder how that will feel ) I imagine it will hurt at first...noting other epilators those here have tried offered on the Q...I have shaved peach fuzz off my knuckles and side burns and not noticed anything detrimental happening (darker hair/coarser hair growing in)

I also should have said that I used to shave my moustache, but since I got the thing that pulls out the hair (ouch) I use that.

My moustache never got darker and now not much hair grows anywhere. Maybe it's just because I'm old! Ha!

No, I've never shaved my arms or considered it.

My mother used to singe it off over the stove flame! I did it a few times, too. We have dark hairy arms! I have the no-no that I've used on it! Otherwise, I'd have it waxed, probably !

I have tiny white hairs on my arms that go every which way. I just use some of the depilitory cream every few weeks. No big deal and they are GONE! It looks SO much better.

I've been meaning to ask my derm doc about that! I have gotten so hairy all over my face (but losing it on top of head!😳)! I use my No-No, but I lost the attatchment for the face and the other one hurts and doesn't work very well! I get wild black and white hairs on ly neck which I pluck, but, even tho the hair is fair, it catches my cosmetics and then the hair shows!

He//, no!

Nor any on my cheeks or elsewhere.

I like the fuzz - like a kitty.

The only things I regularly shave are facial hair, underarm hair, and any hairs that dare to appear on any toes.

Yep; it's natural for hormones and/or age to cause hairs to spring up anywhere, LOL.

My legs only if I'll be wearing crops/capris, my bikini line only if I'll be donning a swimsuit.

@feline groovy,

"I like the fuzz - like a kitty."

That is so cute.

A few years back I went through a series of laser-hair removals. Today I am hairless from the cheek bones down and I mean ALL of it is gone! I'm a person who hates any kind of body hair...anywhere...yuk!

I did not have peach fuzz on my arms. I had hair on my arms. Granted it was blonde but it was a lot and it was long. I detested that hair. I started using Nair on it years and years ago. It's super easy. I slap it on right before I get in the shower, brush my teeth, jump in the shower, rinse the Nair off and wham. No more hair.

I do. Hair on my arms tends to be darker in color and can quite long if I don't. I am hairy everywhere but on my head!! About once a month in the shower while shaving somewhere else. I bought the emjoi epilator but after reading about experiences others have had I'm afraid to use it.

@aggravated

Just curious....I have the Emjoi Epilator and I love it. What bad experiences have you read/had? I love this little device; I use it every couple of weeks and it works great.

No. Only the fuzz on my face, chin and neck.
