Same as Becca72 - after suffering skin reactions to electrolysis (as a teenager), then later using creams etc., I started getting rid of the hairs by shaving them off many years ago and I agree, they don't come back any thicker or darker.

In fact, I don't know whether anyone else is finding this: I find that, now the menopause is over, I'm remarkably less hairy (including arms/legs) than I was in my teens through to my early 50s. Hooray !
Another strange thing: though I've only yet got the odd grey hair on my head, my *eyebrows* are going very grey, almost white ! What a curious thing the human body is . . . .
