Women are now parading their colored underarm hair on social media

We’ve seen many trends come and go, but this one is by far one of the wackiest. Women are actually growing out and dying their armpit hair in various colors. Long gone are the days are being shocked by people dying their hair blue or pink, now dying your armpit hair blue or pink has replaced that.
Time reports the trend is taking social media by storm. Supporters of dying your armpits are now referring to it as the Free Your Pits Movement. Instagram and Twitter pages have even been created in its honor.
A hairstylist at Seattle’s Vain salon is credited for starting this trend by dying her coworker’s armpit hair blue. She then wrote a blog post about the process, which is now being credited for starting something of a revolution among young women. Hairstylist Roxie Hunt said she’d always wondered what it would be like to dye someone’s armpit hair, and one day curiosity got the better of her. Roxie’s coworker agreed to have her pit hair dyed to match the blue on her head, and much to everyone’s surprise, the process went swimmingly. Of the experience, Roxie wrote in her blog:
“I half expected the color not to stick, thinking to myself that something this cool couldn’t really be possible. And if it was possible, why didn’t people do it all the time? … The color stuck. We laughed and marveled at the beauty of her blue pit hair. It was too good to be true. The color in her pits perfectly matched the color on her head.”

It’s tough to tell if this trend will stick or burn out, but it’s safe to say there’s a huge divide on it as of now – those who are embracing it and now afraid to show it off and those who are just completely turned off by it.
