Armpit hair serves many purposes, one of which is to help keep the heat in. The hair helps to regulate body temperature by creating an insulating layer over the skin when we get cold and controls sweat when you get too hot. It is a normal phase in everyone's life to have it because it is part of puberty where your body develops new things necessarily when you grow up. It is not an abnormal trait that society is telling. Having armpit hair and uneven skin tone is completely normal. In fact, the earliest age to start puberty for girls is eight years old. That means axillary (underarm) hair, pubic hair, breast development, body odor, and mild acne is normal in eight-year-olds is normal. Removing your underarm hair is a CHOICE. It is not a mandatory or a must task just to please other people. When you are not comfortable with it, then remove it. BUT, do not remove it just because society is telling you that it is not normal and ugly.
