I have darker hair on my arms (maybe because I'm a quarter Italian and a quarter Hispanic), but I choose to remove it. It's totally up to you... it just bothered me so I chose to Nair off the hair and now I shave it. I'm slightly allergic to Nair so it was very uncomfortable to use it, and shaving has not made mine grow back prickly or anything. I only shave them once a wee or once every other week and the hair grows back in soft and less than before. It takes a long time for it to grow completely in. Other people thread or wax their arms... I just shave because it works for me and it's cheap and quick.

So yes, it can be normal for females, but if it's extremely hairy, you can always talk to a doctor to make sure you don't have any hormonal imbalance. Many girls from different cultures have darker or thicker arm hair though.

My arms were pretty hairy when I was in my teens and 20s. Lots of my schoolmates had hairy arms also. I didn't do a thing and after I turned 30, the hair fell off by themselves gradually and I have very few and just very fine hairs now. You won't see them if you don't look close. I guess it's related to hormones.

Wow you are lucky! I hope that happens with me someday!

When it comes to your own body, it's up to you what's ok.
