Women's armpit hair

Women are not like men. Having abundant hair is a symbol of masculinity. Every woman does not want to have too much hair on her body because too much hair will make people feel embarrassed and affect the way a woman dresses in summer. In summer, we like to wear cool and light clothes, especially under the armpits. If there are too many black armpit hairs, we will feel disgusting and secrete too much sweat. So how to remove excessive armpit hairs?

1. The five most embarrassing areas of body hair for women

1 Armpit Hair

In the summer, when women raise their hands or wear vests on the bus, they accidentally expose their thick armpit hair that they forgot to shave. The armpit is one of the parts with the most active sweat secretion. If the hair is not removed in time, it is likely to cause body odor, which is regarded as the most embarrassing body hair.

2 Leg hair

Summer is a good time to wear short skirts and shorts, but the slender legs will reveal long hair, which makes women feel like they are wearing "wool pants" and is very embarrassing.

3 Arm Hair

Tank tops and backless dresses are in season in summer, but for many women, this exposes the thick hair on their arms, which makes the long arms look out of place with their beautiful faces and makes them lose their beauty.

4 Lip Hair

"Auntie, you have grown a beard." Children say whatever they want. What children express is always the truest side of what they see. No matter how exquisite the makeup is, it cannot cover up the thick lip hair. The name of "Auntie with a beard" is indeed an embarrassing one.

5. Bikini Hair

Swimming pools and beaches are must-go places for every woman in summer, but sexy swimsuits and bikinis can easily expose a woman's private body hair, which is very embarrassing and shameful in public.

Excessive hair growth in women is mostly caused by genetics, disease and excessive hormone secretion. What is less known is that certain drugs can also cause excessive hair growth.

2. Drugs are mainly divided into two categories.

1 is non-hormonal drugs:

The reason why drugs that do not contain hormones can cause hirsutism is that after entering the human body, they may affect the liver's function of decomposing and inactivating male hormones. If they act for a long time, excessive male hormones will be formed in the body, which will lead to hirsutism. This type of medicine covers a wide range, mainly antibiotics: penicillin and streptomycin are commonly used. A small number of women may have excessive hair on their limbs and trunk;

2. Hormone drugs:

Human hair growth is affected by endocrine hormones, especially androgens. Some women with the disease may directly develop hirsutism if they use drugs containing androgens. Such as methyltestosterone, testosterone propionate, testosterone phenylacetate and other male hormones.

Why do some women have excessive body hair?

Some statistics have been done abroad: among normal women aged 15-44, 30% have mustaches, 9% have obvious cheek hair, 6% have thick hair below the temples, and 30% and 70% have darker and thicker hair on their forearms and calves, respectively.

How to determine if you have too much body hair?

Many girls grow dense vellus hair around their lips, chin, thighs, calves, arms, etc., with a male-like hair distribution, thick black eyebrows, and pubic hair that grows towards the abdomen and even the navel. This phenomenon is medically known as "hirsutism."

Excessive hair affects one's appearance and body beauty. Girls with excessive hair always feel uneasy and try various methods to "remove hair". When excessive hair growth occurs, it is important to find out the causative factor and prescribe the right medicine.
