Bleaching body hair (color, blonde, product, wax)

[keymaker221]

Did anyone consider or has done bleaching? Like somewhat thin body hair? I wonder if it makes the hair not noticeable. That way I won't cut/kill the hair so no stubbles I guess.
Also, I have black hair so maybe it will look weird. I don't know.
What do you think?

Bleaching will be better than shaving--no stubble! It will just make it less noticable. There's no real downside to the bleaching, either--if you don't like it, it will just continue to grow in in it's natural color.
Of course, there's always waxing, and laser treatments...more uncomfortable and expensive!

Yeah. Few other things. How long does the hair stay bleached?

I have. On my arms and on my upper lip (I don't have much there, but it does creep up a little when I wear foundation). That's all though.

I have dark brown hair myself. But I like the hair on my arms not to be tooooo visible, you know. It's just me, I guess.

Ok. Which product(s) do/did you use?

I've used that Jolene stuff. It's pretty good stuff. Not harsh or a burning feelings either. I like it.

I can't seem to find this stuff anywhere in stores..

Is there a way I can buy this product online? I live in Holland so...

I just used Jolene on my eyebrows. Left it on for about 3 minutes and they were the perfect color for my platinum blonde hair. A light brown.

You can get Jolene in UK so I am sure it is available in other parts of Europe.

Have you thought of 'threading' as a removal method? gentler than waxing, no stubble...

Threading (epilation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Once you bleach, that hair STAYS bleached, but as it grows, the natural color will show (just like roots in bleached blonds hair!) Same thing with body hair--it just keeps on growing!
