What is the secret to a smooth armpit?

Ok, so I feel like I’ve been left out of a big secret. hairless pits. I know that it’s a silly thing to say, but it’s true! All of my friends can easily wear tank tops outside, without ever worrying about stubbles. but, no matter how well I shave, I always have a dark patch. I don’t want to have to worry about this! I’m indian, so I have generally thick black hair on brown skin. And I know that this sounds unattractive-that’s why I want to get rid of it! I shave my legs very well, and have no problems getting them smooth, but when I do the same thing on my armpits, it doesn’t work.

What’s the best technique to get a nice, smooth, armpit? (oh and I don’t want something way too harsh for the skin)

Answer #1

hey shanaynay, did you know that that’s also my nickname? that’s so cool! :]

Answer #2

Wax or nair.

Answer #3

lol(: its what all my friend call me, aha

Answer #4

What about waxing? If done properly it won’t irritate your skin.

Or hair removal cream? I find that hair removal cream works better than shaving. However be careful, it could irritate the sensitive skin there.

Another thing that people do is bleaching, but considering it is the hair under your armpits, you’ll probably end up having to do it everytime the hairs grow out, which could become annoying.

Answer #5

Well use your regular razor and soap (or whatever you normally use), I use soap. Shave on a downward motion, upward motion, and left to right, and right to left. You may think it will hurt but it doesnt. Its what your sopposed to do. Someone told me that and I was like no way, that cant be!! but it is. lol

See your armpit hairs grow in all directions so if you only shave one way your going to still have those other hairs that grew in from other ways.

I hoped I helped you, and dont worry a lot of other people have that too!
