When did arm hair removal for women become a trend?

I didn't realize it was. I know plenty of women who don't shave their arm hair, even if they're kind of hairy. I rarely shave my arms since I don't have a lot of arm hair and I've never seen it as a big deal.

Probably about the same time as sleeveless outfits became popular !!!

About 7.30 p. m., I think.

Or with other words: a trend only is a trend when it is a trend :)

[AI Opinion]

Arm hair removal for women actually became popular in the early 20th century. It really took off around the 1920s when sleeveless dresses became fashionable. Advertising campaigns started promoting the idea that smooth, hairless skin was more desirable, and it just kind of stuck around from there. Do you have a specific reason for wanting to explore the history of this trend? 😊

Many girls and women in Greece have started to remove their forearm hair only during the last 20 years. I am not taliking about armpit hair.

Probably around the same time young fuckboys said seeing hair anywhere on a woman’s body aside from her head was gross

Jordan Belfort mentioned it as a thing later in the excessive 80s („bald from the eyebrows down“), but he wasn’t exactly that young anymore…
