In summer, everyone has started to wear thin summer clothes. For women, beautiful clothes such as suspenders have also started to wear. While wearing nice clothes, we have to face a very embarrassing problem – armpit hair will leak out from time to time. However, if a woman exposes her armpit hair, it really affects her image, so many women will shave off the armpit hair for beauty. Is it good or bad to shave armpit hair? Let’s get to know.
What’s the use of armpit hair?
We all know that armpit hair is not like hair. It has been around since birth. When I was young, there was no armpit hair. After entering puberty, because the body starts to secrete estrogen or androgen, axillary hair will grow out slowly. It has two main functions.
The first is to help us protect the skin of the armpit and prevent the invasion of bacteria. There are many sweat glands in the armpit, which are easy to secrete excessive sweat and accumulate bacteria. The armpit hair can help us resist the invasion of bacteria and protect the surface skin.
Secondly, it can relieve the skin friction at the armpit and prevent skin friction injury. Our arms need frequent activities every day. The skin at the armpit is prone to friction, and the armpit hair will play a buffer role to protect the skin from being injured by friction.
Does axilla hair shave affect health?
The function of armpit hair is mainly to prevent bacteria and relieve friction. If the armpit hair is scraped off, the protection and buffering effect of the armpit hair will be lost. If the armpit skin loses its protection, it will have an impact on the skin of the armpit hair. Every hair on the body has its own unique role, so from a health perspective, it is better to not shave off.
But this does not mean that scraping will affect your health
There are two main functions of armpit hair. First, it prevents bacteria from invading. We know that the skin surface actually has a protective layer, which can effectively resist bacteria in a short time. We can pay attention to the cleanness and hygiene of the armpit. We can wash the armpit every day in a timely manner to prevent bacteria and sweat from staying for a long time. To keep the armpit clean and clean, we actually rely on the protective layer on the surface of the skin to resist bacteria.
Another function of armpit hair is to play a buffer role, reducing skin friction at the junction of armpit, which is more important for people who often exercise, especially those who often need to move their arms. But for women who do not exercise regularly, the daily amount of exercise is very small, and the friction caused by arm swing is also very small. Even if the armpit hair is shaved, the daily amount of exercise is not enough to cause too much friction and damage to the skin, so scraping off has no effect.
As far as it is said, scraping armpit hair will cause chest problems and affect sweat gland detoxification. In fact, toxins in our bodies are metabolized wastes, which are mainly excreted through feces and urine through the internal circulation of the body. It does not mean that after scraping armpit hair, the detoxification around the chest can not be carried out normally. In fact, it has no direct relationship. It cannot be said that shaving the head will affect the detoxification of the head, which sounds absurd.
In conclusion, the armpit hair can be shaved. After being shaved, paying attention to the armpit hygiene will not have any negative impact on the body. However, if there is no reason to shave, it is recommended not to do so. After all, the armpit hair also has its unique role. But for a woman, it is recommended to shave it off.
People with body odor
The sweat glands of people with body odor are large and secrete more sweat. There will be more mucus in the sweat, which is easy to stick to the armpit hair, and then it will be decomposed by the bacteria on the surface of the skin to produce a strong and pungent smell. Scraping the armpit hair can reduce the sticking of mucus and reduce the odor of body odor. For people with body odor, it is better to scrape the armpit hair.
So we can see that scraping armpit hair has little effect. If you dislike the ugliness of armpit hair, scraping armpit hair is fine, but there is a precondition that scraping armpit hair does not affect the body – correct hair removal.
Care should be taken not to damage the skin of the armpit when removing hair. The skin of the armpit hair is very soft. When removing the hair, do not use hard pulling or directly scraping with a razor, which will hurt the hair follicles under the armpit hair and affect sweating. Hair removal can be done by using the method of diode laser hair removal machine, which has less stimulation on hair follicles. After hair removal, it is also necessary to pay attention to the cleanness of armpit and keep it clean.
