Epilating arm hair first time?

I love my little arm hair buddies but i have to get rid of them for a modeling job. My arm hair isn't thick or dark, but its visable. My question is if i epilate them one time, will the hair on my arms grow back the same thickness, thicker, or thinner??

Please and thank you in advance

    You'll be doing it for ever. Many celebrities, models & actors have arm hair. Did the agency asked you to EPLIATE your arm hair as part of the job qualifications?

    The hair regrowth after epilation is similar to that of waxing, as in both cases the hair is pulled out at the root. Hair does not grow at the same rate or same time - this to say, every hair pulled out via the epilator will not grow back simultaneously. So, fewer hairs than were removed in epilation will grow back at a time; if you continue to epilate as needed (for me, every ten days or so), less hair will be there to be removed.

    If you epilate once and never again, it will take a bit, but eventually, you'll wind up with the same amount of arm hair as before you epilated.
