Here’s a question many young women have asked lately: “Do I really need to remove my body hair?” This summer, a growing number of millennials have found their answer: “Nope.”
As beauty trends have gradually become more inclusive – with make-up offered in more natural shades than ever before and bras made available in an expanding number of custom sizes – women are also giving themselves more leeway when it comes to personal grooming.
Body hair has been embraced by celebrities who speak proudly of their unshaven underarms and influencers who post unapologetically about their visible leg hair. The movement has especially taken off on Instagram and even affected the marketing of a product that once had ads labelling leg hair “objectionable”: razors.
Photographer Ashley Armitage has made body hair one of the focuses of her Instagram account, which includes portraits of feminine women combing their wispy underarm locks. Her interest began more than five years ago when she noticed her friends were letting the hair on their armpits and legs grow. It made her question her own hair-removal habits.

“I was grappling with it: ‘Why do I have to shave?” she says. “Why do I have to deal with these terrible razor burns under my armpit and also get a five o’clock shadow?’”


Armitage, 25, started to share imagery among friends she thought was missing in the media: photos she took of women she knew with armpit fuzz, happy trails and unshaven bikini lines. A photo of the latter subject went viral a few years ago. Online, trolls attacked the image and Armitage.

“There are people in the world who hate [the idea of hairy women] and don’t want a woman going outside the [hairless] beauty standard,” Armitage says. “There were people who were sending death threats.”

For Armitage, the negative reaction was outshone by fans commending the photographer for giving confident, hairy women more visibility. Almost overnight, she went from having a few hundred Instagram followers to garnering 10,000. Today, she has 132,000 followers and a mission to push for more body hair visibility.

There are certainly still negative commenters, but the angry cohort of mostly men outraged at the sight of female body hair below the neck has quieted some and “now I see body hair on Instagram pretty regularly,” Armitage says.

It may sound extreme, but women who have had their body hair visible in photos on the internet are all too familiar with trolls yelling from a computer that they ought to shave. Actress Lola Kirke (Mozart in the Jungle) wrote on Instagram that she, too, got “death threats” after having “awesome” hairy armpits on the 2017 Golden Globes red carpet.

Years after Kirke had furry pits on the red carpet, actress Emily Ratajkowski became one of the loudest voices to celebrate body hair this summer when she shared a personal essay in the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar. She posed for the magazine in a black bralette with her dark armpit hair on display.

“If I decide to shave my armpits or grow them out, that’s up to me. For me, body hair is another opportunity for women to exercise their ability to choose – a choice based on how they want to feel and their associations with having or not having body hair,” she wrote.
“On any given day, I tend to like to shave, but sometimes letting my body hair grow out is what makes me feel sexy.”

“Bachelor” personality Bekah Martinez also shared her thoughts on body hair last month, when she walked a red carpet with her brown leg hair showing under a minidress.

“I’ve finally gotten to the point where I feel (almost) totally comfortable like this,” she wrote in an Instagram post about the event.
“I stopped shaving my legs and armpits about a year ago as a practice of self-love. I grew up HATING the hair on my body.” She continued: “It’s not about ‘not believing in shaving’, it’s about believing I AM BEAUTIFUL, ATTRACTIVE AND “FEMININE” NO MATTER WHERE I HAVE HAIR ON MY BODY.”
 
Nowadays they also shave their CB hair. I still prefer to eat those with hair

The same reason why men instead of pumping women starting pumping keyboards and mouse and they ask themselves why they got no gf.

Fashion labels have been recycling trends from the past. I guess everyone is free to choose.

Damn. That means I must have standards in choosing my pro creation partner.
 
It is so easy to get gf. Just go nightclub and get one.
Unfortunately most men are not interested due to the repercussion of having one.
 
Shaved pussy gives you the illusion you're bonking a pre-puberty young girl. It might help to spice things up for those who're into this.
Wow I’ve got no pedo tendencies.....
A well trimmed lawn down there is ok with me but not an overgrown forest

really ah?

why donch you show us how?

me think ,you don't know much about night life in Sinkiland
 
Then I sucked really bad. I'm 42. Nightclubs. Syt. Kpo. No luck.
I suggest you cross the causeway and try jiu hu night club filled with kampung Chinese girls.most are part timers and will be looking for boyfriend types. Some unfortunately are single mothers or divorcee. Abandoned maybe. Who knows where our life will lead to without adventure and exploration and taking some risk.
 
U are damn right, 80s chicks don't shave. And I don't mean their armpits. The first angmo charbor I fucked was in the early 80s. Talk about hairy pussies. Angmor bush make asian bush look like bermuda grass. Remember these leg warmers in the 80s ala Flashdance
