Girl no! But that’s just me, I like to have nice clear armpits free of hair and debris. The #noshave trend is huge on Twitter, Instagram and other forms of social media where women are liberating themselves from the razor.
They are flaunting their armpit hair proudly and some have even opted to add a little color to the fuzz which seems to take the trend into an even more odd direction.
The question is why is this odd? How did the practice of shaving become so culturally rooted in our beauty routines that the thought of having a little hair under our arms completely grosses some of us out?
Like most things, shaving began years ago as a matter of fact it started after 1915 when dresses with straps were starting to hit the scene. According to advertising published then, in order for women to wear the dresses they had to shave.
Since then the act of shaving became part of what women did until today. It was a standard that was set for women and now women all over social media are saying to hec with it, we want to celebrate our body hair just like men do and we ‘do not care what you think’.
hashtags like #effyourbeautystandards and #noshavenoshade are popping up everywhere with credit being given to ‘destinyinhiding’ who has:
‘inspired women everywhere to crush boundaries climb outside of the box of social norms and go hairy and colorful”
I Use This Product EVERY Week!
To my gyals, clay has cured my skin of years of acne proned skin, improved my complexion, acne scars and shrunk my pores. This is the best clay mask assortment pack to try all my favorite kinds of clay + it's affordable.
Well here is my opinion, to each his own, having armpit hair is not unhygienic it really is just a matter of preference. Having armpit hair or lack there of does not define you! You arent ‘crushing’ standards because you have some hair under your arms. In other words if you do not shave but you still shape your brows are you in the box or out of the box?
I must add though, it is probably not safe to bleach the hair on one of the most sensitive areas of the body, just saying!
How do you feel about the #noshave armpit trend?
What kind of mess is that =/
I think it looks nice! I’m not big on coloring it because that sort of defeats the purpose of being natural. But, I think it actually looks good and especially on dark haired women. I think it’s kind of gross on a blonde or similarly light haired woman because it so light and hazy, it’s like cobwebs. Lol.
With dark haired women BOOM, there it is! And it looks like the 1960’s hijacked our armpits and I like that vibe so…I want to see more of it. 🙂
This makes me proud.
Oh no!!!…definitely NOT!
I’ll pass. That’s so disgusting
No hair, less sweat… I don’t want my pits looking like a Chia-pet project!
Tres!
Just nasty
That is sick
Gross
No. I don’t think its gross. I won’t hate on women who do this. But its not for me.
Before you know it there will be designs all it takes is a famous person to do it. Somebody will bandwagon
#NOWORDS
Yikes!!!
THANK YOU
Ummmmm this is gross I will pass no thank you.
What happened to all the “all natural” females. Y’all should embrace this lol
Wth
Nope not at all.
Musty ass lol
Hahaha
Ummmm..hell no. Hair holds odor and it ain’t cute by any means. #Pass
Eat right and u won’t stink?? LIES! Hair holds odor no matter what u eat..it’s not only food intake that gets trapped in your hair. Smoke and sweat among other things get trapped in there as well.
Actually most vegans and others who eat certain types of food don’t wear deodorant because they simply don’t need it. Sweat doesn’t hold an odor, at least not a noticeable one. If we would constantly stink by having armpit hair (which you so claim) then why would we have it in the first place? Having armpit hair is not the end of the world..
They will probably wear a bathing suit with hair crawlin out too! Lol. Ewww
The funk!
Me too , I’ll pass on this one !
A new funky, stank trend? And for the love of GOD, why green? Looks like a fungus has set in. Now we are supposed to walk a round smell like a barnyard? Mommas grab a hold of these girls and shake the hell out of them….pleeeez!!!
That will be a negative!
WHYYY !!!
NO WAY! ewwwww
Nope I shave or Nair
That’s just nasty and gross trifling filty disgusting.
Save your lack of shaving days for the winter months and long sleeves. Some things should stay between you and your clothes.
HELL NO!!!!!!!
Foh
Personally, Shaving my pits is silly also shaving my legs is silly. If I feel like they look like a carpet then I’ll consider it. Since I shower at least once a day, there are no un lady like aromas here. Hell, I’m not worried. it grows for a reason , right?
Now for people who are concerned with someone else’s personal preference is asinine. Just stop worrying about what people think about you
As I read these comments. Oh my. . My people, really? Hair holds odor? Cute armpits?No hair =less sweat?You gotta be making this stuff up. Lol #educateyourself
Nope. Im good!
Nope.
This is a sign of laziness and nastiness. These same people want make NOT BATHING OR WEAR YOUR CLOTHES SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE YOU WASH THEM A TREND ALSO! YUCK.
Cud somebody tell Lakisha Martin that my opinion is mine n she need to go find somebody else to play with. N yes i do think body hair makes u look beastly bcuz…u know like how most beasts r covered with hair. Ijs my opinion. I like my skin n his skin smooth.
