waxing would get all the hair out, but it'll still grow back.. just slower and eventually less thick. If you're going to do it, do it now.. you don't want to go to prom with irritated, red armpits!! Remember that if you've been shaving this whole time, the hairs are probably pretty thick.. the thicker the hair, the more it's going to hurt, and also waxing takes off a layer of skin, so it will hurt a bit. It'll probably take a week or so for it to come back.. it's the same as when a person gets their eyebrows waxed or plucked.

And speaking of pluck.. that is also an option. It feels the same as when you pluck your eyebrows.. stings a little, but it doesn't really get irritated.

Good luck!

awe, im sorry! ):

yes, waxing would hurt! your underarms are very sensitive. but just remember, it will only hurt for about 3 seconds!(:

like ripping off a band aid! quick and almost painless.

waxing would be the best choice because it removes hair from the root, and there for your skin will look just like your skin tone, no darkness from your dark hair.

plus, the hair will start to grow back in a week/ and if you just shave, it'll start to grow back within 24 hours.

-and get a deoderant that wont irritate after shaving or waxing, i prefere dove.

hope i helped!(:

waxing is painfull but its worth all that pain
