The Trend Of Hairy Armpits

Throughout history, trends have been coming and going. Some of these trends are still rocking to date, but some died with their ages. In recent years we have had trends such as the chocker, fur nails, squiggle eyebrows, the flared jeans, and the list is endless. The one trend, though that has been over the top, is the all-natural beauty trend, which includes hairy armpits.

Gross or Cool?

Women from all over the world have been letting it be hairy in their armpits. Is it a new trend? This trend has been going on for ages since the beginning of time. It was not until modernization started coming in and women started to feel the urge to look like a certain way to attract a male companion. This was when women started shaving down their armpits and legs and all other hairy places. But this has since changed since feminism.

 

It is simply because of the reason that women do not have to look a certain way to attract their companions. It has also been said that for some women, cultivating their body hair is an act of protesting against the beauty standards that have been set by society.

 

What matters is what you choose to do with your body. Some people think that this is a cool trend, while some think it is gross and disgusting. They all have different reasoning, but what matters is that we should empower people so that they can feel more confident in their appearances.

Should You Try?

Deciding whether you want to try rocking the natural armpit hair is a personal decision. You should not do something simply because it is trending or because other people are doing it. Growing your armpit hair is something that you should do because you want to. Sometimes it is great to let things be just the way they are supposed to be.

 

Most feminists tend to let it flourish as it is an indication that you are beautiful with all your natural hair. There should be no shame in the long body hair game. Be it in the armpits, hands, legs, and even on your private parts. It is what was bound to happen as a human being.

 

To men, it is pretty much something that is a norm, and that is why we are not talking about men in this. There is never a reaction when men lift their hands, and there is a big bush hanging out of there. Women should also be given the freedom to feel this kind of normality when they walk out without having to spend too much time in the bathrooms shaving to impress people who barely even care.

 

In recent studies, one out of four women under the age of 35 have stopped shaving their underarms. This act in itself is a rebellious act as there is rebellion against the societal beauty standards. If you feel bold and daring, you can go ahead even to dye it. Wear that hair proudly as it is all-natural and it is yours to do whatever you want to do with it.

Summary

Armpit hair will always be an issue for most people who see it as disgust. People who step up and advocate for body hair get harsh backlash from thousands of people. However, this should not at all be the case; body hair should be universally accepted.

When people say that it is unhygienic, they probably don't know what role body hair plays. It is said to help wick sweat and other moisture away from the skin and therefore helping in proper ventilation. It also eases skin to skin friction, thus less irritation.
