Can women shave their armpit hair?

Axillary hair is the hair that grows from the armpits. Like pubic hair, it is also the result of gonadal secretions. Many women cannot accept their pubic hair and find it embarrassing to have it growing under their armpits, especially when wearing sleeveless clothes in the summer, which greatly affects their image. So, can women's armpit hair, which helps sweat evaporate, be shaved? Will shaving armpit hair cause body odor, and will it become more and more odor the more you shave?

1. What is the function of armpit hair?

1. Antibacterial Human armpit hair, like pubic hair, can shield and protect the human skin from foreign bacteria, dust, etc., and keep the enemy out of the skin.

2. Relieve friction. Another function of armpit hair is that when the human body moves, the armpits will pull the surrounding skin and there will always be friction. If the friction is too long or too heavy, it will often relieve the friction between the skin and protect the armpit skin from being scratched. Therefore, the role of armpit hair cannot be denied. Therefore, young women should not cut their armpit hair for the sake of beauty.

2. Does shaving armpit hair cause body odor?

Shaving armpit hair does not affect the gaps between the tube wall cells, so it will not cause body odor. However, one thing to note is that if you pull out armpit hair, it will damage the integrity of the skin, weaken the skin's disease resistance, easily cause bacterial infection, and cause the apocrine sweat glands to mutate. The tube wall permeability is greater than 75~100nm, which allows lipids and protein substances to be excreted from the body and interact with epidermal bacteria to produce odor.

3. Does shaving armpit hair lead to breast cancer?

Although breast cancer is common in the axilla and internal mammary lymphatic drainage areas, clinical evidence suggests that frequent shaving of armpit hair has no direct or indirect relationship with breast cancer. Even shaving armpit hair most frequently will not cause breast cancer.

4. Will armpit hair grow more the more I shave?

Many women think that the more they shave their armpit hair, the thicker it becomes. In fact, this is not the case. This is because the hair is thicker at the roots, and after shaving, only the thickest part at the root is left, so it appears thicker. Therefore, the more you shave your armpit hair, the more hair will not become thicker or more profuse.
