Trendy Women are Now Dyeing their Armpit Hair in Weird Colors

green  Trendy Women are Now Dyeing their Armpit Hair in Weird Colors greenA new stupid beauty craze is now encouraging women to grow out their underarm hair and dye it a bright, bold color.   Hair stylist Roxie Hunt, who works at popular Seattle salon Vain, is one of the people leading the armpit hair revolution and insists that women should embrace their underarm hair – rather than feeling forced to shave it off or hide it.   ‘It’s no secret that some of us choose not to shave or wax our pits,’ she wrote in a blog post for Off Beat Home.   ‘More and more often, I am meeting women who un-apologetically choose not to succumb to the societal pressure of scraping a razor against the soft skin of their bodies.
