The hair on your arms is called vellus hair:
Vellus hair is the fine, non-pigmented hair (peach fuzz) that covers the body of children and adults. The growth of vellus hair is not affected by hormones, whereas the growth ofterminal hair is affected by hormones.
Terminal hairs are the thick pigmented hairs found on the scalp, beard, armpits, and pubic area.
