As a woman, you don't always have a choice.

In the Women's and Gender Studies program at Arizona State University, a scholar named Breanne Fahs wanted to find out what women face if they "don't shave their armpits. So she found 62 female undergraduate students and documented their experiences of not shaving at all for ten weeks, resulting in experiences of devaluation, privilege, misogyny, and the internalization of oppression.

Professor Fahs says that while it is ostensibly a personal choice for women to remove their hair or not, there are actually three main issues they all need to face: peer-imposed shame, battling self-loathing, and social rejection.

Where does this "armpit hair shame" anxiety come from?

The entry of the "hairless" female body into the cultural imagination as an enforced ideal stems in part from advertising and the mass media. In order to sell hair removal creams, razors and the like, they would claim that "armpit hair is disgusting and unsightly". The more radical "hairlessness" occurred in 1946, when bikinis were introduced and women began to trim their pubic hair, making hairlessness an idealized symbol of femininity.

In the modern era, many women have begun to "fight" against this phenomenon -

On the cover of the August 2022 issue of Vogue, actor Emma Corrin shows off her armpit hair on the cover. She's not the only one - Hollywood actors like Miley Cyrus and Janelle Monáe have already joined the armpit-hair pride parade.

The shackles of shame around armpit hair are beginning to loosen around the world.

It is a personal freedom of choice as to whether or not to keep armpit hair. Before whether to shave or not, let's first understand how armpit hair actually comes about and what it is used for.

Human hair is divided into two kinds, respectively, the terminal hair and cui hair. Cui hair is lighter in color and is mainly located in the facial area, while armpit hair belongs to the terminal hair. Armpit hairs are there for everyone, but some people have thick and some have sparse hairs, why is it?

This is because the growth of armpit hair will be affected by genetic factors, endocrine, gender, etc. If the parents have strong body hair, then the child may get the corresponding gene. In addition, some people who suffer from endocrine diseases or gonadal dysgenesis will have lighter body hair.

Armpit hair is not useless, and its existence plays 2 major roles:

1, anti-bacteria

Armpit hair can resist the invasion of bacteria, dust, and other invasions, blocking them outside the door of the skin, and play a role in protecting the skin.

2, relieve friction

People often have to lift their hands and swing their arms, this time armpit hair is equivalent to a buffer zone, which can reduce friction.

Isn't it easier to have armpit odor if you have a lot of armpit hair? Many people will associate odor with hair, but the truth is. Armpit odor occurs from the sweat gland mutation, and the hair follicle and sweat are two independent tissues, the sweat gland has a smell, and armpit hair has nothing to do with.

Online there are a lot of claims circulating that the body's main way of detoxification is sweating, and armpit hair can help sweat out of the body, if you scrape or pull out the armpit hair, will prevent the body from toxin discharge, the toxin should not be able to discharge stored in the armpit lymph nodes, it is easy to lead to breast cancer.

In this regard, Liu Xiaolong, deputy chief physician of general surgery at the Third Affiliated Hospital of the Southern Medical University, said the sweat glands are an important component of thermoregulation, but the body's metabolism of toxins is mainly dependent on the liver and kidneys, not sweat glands. And more than 99% of sweat is water, strictly speaking, sweating is not detoxification.

Additionally, shaving the armpits only removes part of the body of the armpit hair and does not destroy the deep structure of the hair follicle, which has a very limited effect on the secretion of sweat glands.

Shaving armpit hair leads to breast cancer has no scientific basis, but shaving armpit hair is also very delicate, if not properly operated, it is easy to lead to skin damage, causing infection, pore obstruction, may have a certain impact on sweating.

What should be the correct posture for underarm hair removal?

1, razor

This method is relatively quick, but it is also easy to scratch the skin, and hairs are more likely to come out.

2, waxing

After hair removal for a long time do not need to take care of, but the tearing sensation will be very violent, the wax is also easy to irritate the skin.

3, hair removal cream

No pain, easy to operate, but hair removal cream contains chemical ingredients, may be prone to allergies, hair removal should be skin test before.

4, laser hair removal

Technology is safe and fast, lasts for a long time, but expensive, and needs to be repeated a few times a year to remove hair permanently.

Hair removal before fully moist and appropriate use of lubrication products, hair removal tools are best not to share with others to avoid cross-infection. Scabbing after laser hair removal is a normal phenomenon, if there is localized abnormal pain or strange, should be timely follow-up.

But it is important to know that hair removal or not, is a personal choice, there is no good or bad, as long as they are happy, is the most important premise.
