I am male and I have hairy arms and hands so I only wear long sleeve no matter what season it is, and since the long sleeves do not cover the hands then the hair is visible and it's black and thick and a lot of it, and I cannot live life normal due to this, I sometimes even wear a sweatshirt hoody cause the sleeves are long enough to cover my hands, I cannot afford lasers, etc... What can I do?


It's so disgusting that I cannot even look at it, it's bad enough knowing that it's there. It doesn't even look normal. I cannot even do normal things like playing basketball cause if I put my arm up then the sleeves will go down, I can't even wear t-shirts in the summer, HELP!

You could probably afford to get waxed once a month.
Lots of guys do this.
Better than wearing a hoodie in summertime.

Trim it if you are afraid of wax. I would only wax if you are muscular. Buy a cheap conair buzzer with plastic guards and start with the middle length guard. The really short one is too short for anything but knuckle hair or back of the hand hair (NOT WRIST).

I'm not sure why you're so concerned about it. Men are supposed to be hairy and many women consider it a sign of manliness. If I saw a man without any hair on his arms, I would probably consider him somewhat feminine. If it really bothers you, try waxing or bleaching, both of which are reasonable.

Get ready for it to get hairer too! I can tell my arm hair is thicker now than when I was in high school. If it were twice as bad, I'd probably hate it and go the bleaching route. Trimming is good too because trimming your arms will be easy compared to other parts of your body.

You are a guy. Surely it can't be that bad. I'll bet your arms are fine and you are just being self conscious.

I agree, just use a clipper to thin it a bit and get it shorter.

If you really want it gone, electrolysis will do it, although it's painful, expensive, and time consuming.

10 years ago my back was hairy, and the back of my neck was just thick. Was.

Do you have hair loss? Sometimes propecia for hair loss reduces DHT enough to reduce body hair.
