Im 13 & A Girl & I Have Underarm Hair, HELP!?

Question

Okay, so I'm 13,14 this year and i have underarm hair, i have loads i haven't shaved/waxed them before.

But i've herd you only start getting underarm hair when you start your periods. But i haven't

Also I'm flat-chested

Do you think i should start waxing/shaving them off? If i don't then what happens? Yes it turns into a jungle but will it damage your health?

& BEFORE you say, yes i shower daily and deodorant!

& also my mom is one of those parents who don't allow their children to shave when they're older, but shes allowing me to do my underarm?

Confused lol

Answer 1

Do not wax, you will cry

it hurts horribly

its normal for a girl of any age who starts to devlop underarm hair to shave it, it doesnt hurt im 23 and I think ive only cut myself under arms once when I was in a huuuuuuge hurry

it doesnt take long

&& its perfectly fine!

Answer 2

Don't worry about it. The same thing happened to me. Just shave and you will fell so much better. I have never ever cut myself.

Good luck^^

Answer 3

Nah, waxing doesn't hurt.

You can wax, shave or pluck it.

Many options, just don't let them grow.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

If your mom'll let you shave, you definitely should!

You definitely don't want to flash a jungle of armpit hair to the kids at your school.

It's not bad for your health, I'm pretty sure.

Answer 7

shave

Answer 8

wow baby alot of girls are s**y when they have hair there can you send me a piture of it

Answer 9

Nah, I started getting underarm hair before my periods began - although this is probably a sign that your periods may start soon! And your chest will grow when you start, don't worry.

You should probably shave them (gently, and use a lotion on them afterwards as underarms are very sensitive), otherwise fungus and other nasty things can form in the hair, even if you shower every day. Also, it's not very attractive!

Answer 10

you should definitely shave your underarms. your mother is allowing you to, because it is necessary for a young girl. you start getting underarm hair, and going through puberty all around the same time, but just because you haven't had your period yet, doesn't mean you won't experience any other changes. in fact, since you are starting to see changes now, chances are that you will get your period soon.

not shaving or waxing will not damage your health, but you should shave just because it is nicer looking if you do, and you could save yourself some embarrassment at school. if your mom is allowing you to start shaving, you definitely should. :)

Answer 11

go ahead and shave under your arms.

Answer 12

u should wax , it does not hurt that much

i do wax from time from time

Answer 13

Shave, its fine, nothing will happen and it will look wayy better,  be lucky you haven't gotten your period.

Answer 14

Yes. You should shave it. There will  be no health damage if you don't but it will get really gross, and kids are mean these days so they will make fun of you. Yes it is true a girl's period is near when she gets underarm hair. But thats nnot the only thing. You have to get discharge, pubic hair, and usually b*****s. There is a possibility you may get your period in a few months. Look out for it! Goodluck sweetheart.

Answer 15

okie well no need to worry sum ppl start getting underarm hair before their periods juss wax them dunt shave its not a very good idea cause they wont be fully gone...so wax them and dunt worry nuthin will happen

Answer 16

if u need to shave tehn shave

i mean it realy gross

when u see agirl with like a j8ungle under her armss

its called good hygene

shave ur armpitts!!

Answer 17

If you do or don't shave it, it won't cause any health issue.  Also, my daughter is 10 and had underarm hair until she chose to shave it.  She hasn't started her period yet.  To shave or not is just a personal choice.

Answer 18

oh my god just shave them

it wont be bad for you omg

thats so gross

i started shaving when i was 10

Answer 19

ahahah don't be an ape, just put shave it off darlin' its not rocket science!

Answer 20

Puberty comes differently for everyone, so it's not weird that you have hair, but no period.

You won't hurt anything shaving or not shaving. It's a personal appearance choice. Most girls shave. Waxing your armpits is hard. I wax my legs, but shave my pits. Use shaving cream and be gentle. Don't go over it too many times with the razor, because it's really easy to get razor burn on your underarms. I have to shave every second or third day, some people have to daily.

Shaving won't actually make it grow in thicker, that's just a myth.

Answer 21

It's fine, don't panic!

I got my underarm hair at 9, and didn't start period until 14. You are OK.

Just shave them with a razor. Don't wax them, it will hurt really bad.

Just put some soap or shaving cream and shave them off.
