My highschool aged daughter has just started shaving her legs.

She was so excited to show me and the bits that were easy / difficult... including her elbows?!?! Is it normal for teens to shave entire arms these days? 

I've not heard of this before!! It's getting so prickly I recommended she not do it again and hopefully the hair will go soft again.

Has anyone else shaved their arms before? Does it grow back dark? Is this something she should continue? 

Thanks for your advice and experiences! I love this page! x

I don't know if it's a thing now, but I remember being clueless about shaving and shaved my arms! Lol.

I only did it once though. Learned the hard way how unpleasant it is & how horrible it looks growing back.

I think it is a thing now! Beauticians include it on waxing list when it never was when I was younger so must be common to want it removed. They won't grow back darker or thicker from shaving but I would suggest to her to get them waxed instead.

I'm 37 and I have friends that shave their arms and faces. So odd.
