I have really dark arm hair. I need a homemade recipe that will lighten it without using sun. I tried the lemon juice recipe but I think I did it wrong because my hair isn't getting lighter. I would prefer if it was something that would lighten my hair really quickly.

Shave it. I have been doing it for 15 years. It makes me feel so much prettier and it does not grow back darker/courser etc. It just grows back normal and I shave it again! :)

Don't dye or lighten your arm hair-it's too much work and the ingredients in most dyes are really bad for your skin and toxic for your body. Instead simply shave your arms like your legs. The hair will eventually grow back lighter and softer just like leg hair after shaving your legs for a while. If you are too afraid to shave your arms, wipe your arms with a cooton pad diped in 3% peroxide. You can buy peroxide in any drug store for about 2 dollars-very cheep and effective. Peroxide is very safe--not harmful to skin or your body.

I use creme bleach also works miracles, but I notice that it's making more hair grow longer. The tip is light then the root is dark, or it maybe just be me. Does anyone notice this?

I've got 2 words for you.
Hydrogen Peroxide.
It's so cheap, and you can purchase a bottle it from the chemist for under 3 dollars. Just pour some on your arm and blow dry it. But be careful, because it will temporarily bleach your hands for a couple of minutes. Don't panic! its normal.=]

Good luck!

The only thing that would lighten your hair real quick is cream bleach. It bleaches in maximum 15 mins. Do a patch test first and if it suits you then always get one for sensitive skin; less chances of getting any reaction.

I too have real dark arm hair on very pale skin. I have shaved my arm hair for forty years. Contrary to much silly advice about hair growth, it has never given me bristley stubble, or made more hair grow. I tried waxing, and hair removal creams, but shaving did a much better job, for less money, and it took less time!

Be brave, and try it on one little spot if you are worried about it.

My best wishes to a fellow sufferer!

My Japanese daughter shaves her arms too. She says a lot of Japanese women do it.

You could also check a beauty supply store to purchase salon-quality peroxide, which is the main ingredient used in hair lighteners.

Have you considered waxing?

Or a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution?

Does rubbing lemon juice on your arm or any hair make it lighter?

I used Sally Hansen's facial creme bleach... (10/21/2006)

RE: Making Your Arm Hair Lighter?

I used to use cream bleach. It worked well but it was a pain to use. One day I did not have time for bleach and I just shaved my arm hair off. I was surprised it took awhile to grow back. Arm hair does not seem to grow as fast as leg hair. I shave it while in the shower about every 2 weeks. It's fast and easy. Give it a try. (12/20/2006)
