A unique new beauty craze is 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 unapologetically choose not to succumb to the societal pressure of scraping a razor against the soft skin of their bodies.

'It's part of our social constructs that women have to be hairless and that's just one of the many beauty standards that are enforced from a very young age.

'[Growing out your hair] is so empowering. As a young girl, you are always told, hairless is beauty, it's perfection. But when you go against the grain like that... it's so empowering. I really recommend you try it.'

Thoughts on this new trend?
 
Unless she uses some sort of natural dye, putting harsh chemicals on her "soft skin" isn't any better than shaving it.
