Can men shave their armpit hair? Actually, it is not necessary.

Armpit hair is the most abundant hair on the human body besides the hair on the head and pubic hair. Many men's armpit hair can even reach five centimeters long. Although this has some impact on personal image, I think armpit hair does not need to be shaved. Why do I say this? Let's explain in detail why men do not need to shave their armpit hair.

It is normal for men to have abundant armpit hair

Men are naturally hairy animals, and armpit hair is the most abundant hair besides hair and pubic hair. How can we just shave it off? When my armpit hair just started to grow, I thought it was ugly and used a razor to cut it off at home, but the newly grown armpit hair stung me very much when it first grew out, so I never cut it again since then!

Armpit hair also has many functions

From a physiological perspective, armpit hair plays a big role in human survival: it promotes air circulation under the armpits and dissipates heat; it isolates the arms and armpits and reduces friction, etc. Men are prone to sweating and exercise a lot, so if they don't have armpit hair, it will delay many things. Medically, it is not recommended to cut or shave armpit hair, as it will cause various diseases to the skin.

Chinese people's habit: not shaving armpit hair

In addition, from the perspective of Chinese history and customs, there is still no custom or practice for men to shave their armpit hair. Only women shave their armpit hair for beauty. I feel that they must not be comfortable! If I saw a man with shaved armpits, I would feel very awkward. Maybe there are some special professions that require this, such as dancing. However, when I watched the gala for the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China last night, I saw that the handsome dancers did not shave, and their armpits were very lush. Another example is the divers, some of whom did not shave either.
