Living in Akl, a lot of the beauty places are run by lovely Indian ladies who always want to remove arm hair.

I've been through stages of dehairing my arms, and not dehairing them - but i'm quite pale and the hairs quite dark so thinking of revisiting the dehairing.

Do you take the hair off your arms? I find it makes them smoother and cleaner looking and easier to moisturise

Yes I'm shaving mine at the moment. Never tried waxing or threading for it.

I happen to be blessed with near invisible, super fine arm hair. But the downside of that is when I tried waxing my arms it didn't work very well because the hair wasn't 'substantial' enough to be grabbed by the wax strips.

I'm not during winter but during summer I will have a look at different options. Depilatory creams are easy to use at home. I wonder if you can get your arms threaded?? Ouchy Ouchy

I do dehair my arms. I have been doing it for about a year and like it. I just do up to my elbows, I use a cream.

I don't de-hair my arms. They are quite hairy, but my arm hairs are fair, so they do not show up that much. Having arm hair does not bother me, but I understand that people with darker hair may feel differently.

In summer I will give my arms a going over with the razor!! The older I get the fluffier I get it seems

I don't remove my arm hair, but my hair is quite light.

I remember back when I was at high school (early 2000's) quite a few girls were shaving their arms.
I never jumped so this because I figured just like my legs the hair would grown up thicker and darker than before....and while that smooth feeling was lovely when i felt their arms surely that only lasts a day or 2.

I am lucky to have blonde hair on y arms but I do know some people will bleach theirs instead of shaving etc.I know smeone who uses hydragen peroxide from the supermarket.I think its 3% and mixed with equal water.Lemon juice is also an option.Just test first and dont leave on too long at first.

In the end, I got one of these on Fly Buys points. Just gave it a whirl - so easy! Can also be used in the shower and - although it's a bit heavier than anticipated - will probably now become my travel razor as well :)
