i've heard from my aunt that shaving the armpit hair actually causes the hair to grow out even more. :( so i try to shave it as little as possible.. just wondering if it's true cause it's really hindering when i want to wear sleeveless clothes..

It does. It grows faster and thicker every time.
I wax my armpits and arms. Unlike shaving, it lasts about a month, causes less hair growth, and causes the hair growth to come back faster. The only down side is that it hurts a little. But it's totally worth it. I still shave my legs, though

The hair is not just a part of your body and it is a symbol of beauty, status and health. It is important for you to take proper care of your health in order to prevent early hair loss. Learn here https://bitly.im/aMMcK It is not a very serious problem and with a little bit of caution you will be able to prevent further hair loss. There are certain uncontrollable factors like pregnancy conditions or certain illness or genetic factors that will result in hair loss. But, this does not mean that you cannot do something about your hair loss.

I believe like with any hair (arm, underarm, leg...) once you shave it, it does grow back thicker and coarser. The only alternative would be not not shave at all, but who wants to see a girl with a hairy armpit?

I was always told don't rush into shaving your legs when you are young for the earlier age you do it the more it will grow when you get older... dunno if thats really true or not though lol.. regarding the arm pits... if you have any intentions of wearing any thing sleveless SHAVE first... there is nothing more grody in the world then seeing a female raise her arm and showing the hair there .... thats my thoughts on it any how lol

What you heard is an old wives tale. Hair does not grow back faster or thicker if pulled out.

No, I just think that every girl goes through this and when you get older it thins out again.
So, just shave often.

no, I'm sorry this is a fable ! I am a licensed hairstylist of 22 years. I have heard this one many times, If that was the case any balding man could continually shave his head and would eventually fill in.But I'm sorry it is not that simple.

it doesnt grow faster, it just grows thicker =P
so you can just shave regularly and dont worry about it. you can wax and it lasts longer than if you shave regularly

i think it just causes it to grow back more coarse.... and here is my suggestion, i know its going to sound awkward and it is time consuming, but here goes........ pluck your armpit hair. this takes the hair out from below the surface and prevents it from growing back so quick and coarse. or i suppose waxing it would have the same affect.....

no, you can shave all you want. what happens is when the hair grows back it grows at a point and makes it look thicker than it really is. whatever you shave will grow back, but it's impossible for more to grow back than that was there.
