Is it normal for girls to have armpit hair?

Women have very high requirements for their own skin. For example, the skin on the face must be smooth and delicate without any spots or acne. The same is true for the skin on other parts of the body, but humans still have body hair after all. Because the secretion of male hormones in the body is relatively strong, some women have body hair that is no different from men. So, is it normal for women to have armpit hair?

Is it normal for girls to have armpit hair? It is normal for girls to have armpit hair, because most girls, regardless of gender, have armpit hair due to physiological needs. The specific introduction is as follows:

Armpit hair is located under the armpits and is also one of the secondary sexual characteristics of women. Similar to pubic hair, it is the result of the adrenal glands starting to secrete androgens. Armpit hair appears 1 to 2 years later than pubic hair, and the average age reported abroad is 14 to 15 years old. Chinese women also start to develop armpit hair around the age of 14 to 15.

In addition, armpit hair is one of the first signs of puberty. Everyone has armpit hair, which helps absorb sweat to prevent it from flowing down. Armpit hair has two functions: one is to prevent bacteria, and the other is to relieve friction.

Antibacterial: Armpit hair can shield and protect the skin where it grows, preventing it from being invaded by foreign bacteria, dust, etc., and keeping the "enemy" out of the skin.

Relieve friction: Another function of armpit hair is that when the human body moves, the arms move, and the armpits always generate friction between the surrounding skin. If the friction is too long or too heavy, it often rubs in the "middle", which relieves the force of skin friction and protects the armpit skin from abrasions. Therefore, the role of armpit hair cannot be denied. Many women often pluck or shave their hair for beauty, which is harmful to the body. Because the armpits are rich in lymph nodes, plucking or shaving armpit hair is likely to cause epidermal infection and pose hidden dangers. Therefore, the correct way is to use round-head scissors to trim, which is both beautiful and will not scratch the skin.
