THE HAIRY ARMPIT MOVEMENT

When I was younger I took a vacation to the Bahamas. It was everything you want a vacation to be, warm, fun, relaxing, and a chance to meet people from other countries. What I realized was women from certain European countries don’t shave their legs or, in some cases, their armpits. It was something I wasn’t used to seeing. American women  traditionally shaved their legs and armpits. However, there seems to be a women’s hairy armpit movement that is growing fuller and thicker everyday. As with most trends it’s the celebrities that are championing this new movement. Click here to read more about the “what and why” of the new trend. And let us know if you plan to join the movement. Pictured below are some celebs who currently are letting their armpit hair grow.
