My Daughter Wants to Make a Change to Her Body. I Don't Want Her to Have Regrets.
"Lots of people shave their arms, and from what I can tell by reading dozens of Reddit comments, they do it the same way they shave their legs-in the shower, with a razor and shaving cream. Many of the people whose comments I read had been shaving their arms for years; most did it about once a month, though some did it more often and some, less. No one reported coarser or darker hair."
"I recently taught her to shave her legs and armpits, so I'm fine with her attending to her body hair however it's comfortable for her. I know people say it's just a myth, but I still think that if she shaves it, it will become more obvious or feel more coarse as it regrows. She has incredibly sensitive skin, and waxing or epilating might cause her more irritation and ingrown hairs than for the average person."
Shaving fine arm hair is commonly done like leg shaving: in the shower with a razor and shaving cream. Many people shave their arms monthly, with some doing it more or less often, and users rarely report hair regrowth that is coarser or darker. Sensitive skin increases the risk of irritation and ingrown hairs, making waxing or epilation potentially problematic for some individuals. Facial peach fuzz benefits from evaluation by an aesthetician, facialist, or dermatologist to choose appropriate methods such as disposable razors, electric razors, or dermaplaning. Prioritize skin-specific professional guidance to avoid rashes and regrets.
