I got married in 2003. For a wedding present my husband gave me a "princess package" to a spa. I got a massage, pedicure, manicure, and my eyebrows waxed. It was wonderful and relaxing. The small Asian woman performing all my services was very nice but did puzzle me with something she asked. She asked me if I'd like to get my forearms waxed. I was confused and asked her to make sure I heard her correctly. She just smiled and asked again if I'd like my forearms waxed. I wasn't aware this was something people did and don't think I know anyone who does this. This situation came to mind recently and it started a great debate all over again. Have I been going my whole life with some sort of freakish forearm hair and not realized it? Did I miss that section of grooming class growing up? If I didn't have forearm hair would my life have been different? I am slightly tempted to get it done just for the experience of it all but am afraid that if I do my moderate hair situation might turn into a forearm hair catastrophe. Does it come back thicker? Will I turn into a modern day teen wolf? Will this start a never ending cycle of mandatory waxing that will cause me eventual financial ruin? These are troubling questions that need answers. I might take up my husband's suggestion and become an icon for a brave sector of people who do not wax and go forth proudly everyday with a shiny clean coat.
I have seen some girls with forearm hair that you can run a comb through. If you are not one of those people then I wouldn't worry about it.
ReplyDeleteDon't do it! I think you would much rather have the hair you have on there now as opposed to the coarse hair that grows back when you start waxing/shaving. DON"T DO IT! :)
