WHAT IS OUR OBSESSION WITH ARMPIT HAIR?

The Benefits of Your Armpit Hair!
Armpit hair protects your Skin
According to a 2011 study in the International Journal of Trichology, body hair protects the body against trauma. In the case of your underarms, it helps reduce skin-on-skin friction when you swing your arms as you walk or run. Armpit hair can save you from unnecessary chafing, irritation, or even heat rash, which can happen when sweat and abrasion mix.
Armpit hair Can help you attract a mate
underarm hair acts as an innate diffuser for your natural scent, helping you spread your musk.
It’s considered a Power Move…
