Is It Common For Young Teen Girls To Shave Their Arms ?
Is it common for young teen girls to shave their arms? I ve been noticing other girls in my grade with hairless arms, and I ve been considering shaving them. I m afraid, though, that I ll get tired shaving my legs AND arms, and it always grows back darker and thicker, so it s not like I can just stop. I only have light brown hair, but it still stands out against my pale skin. To shave or not to shave?

wow don't shave your arms
I am 20 years old and do not know any females I have encountered in my life with shaved arms
If your arms are really hairy and bother you, get them waxed
If you shave them, your razor blade will get dull a lot faster, nicks will be hard to hide, not to mention your arms will get really tired
oh and the hair will grow back darker
