In today’s modern world, the majority of Western women still remove much from their body hair, despite efforts to change the stigma around hair growth and the cultural acceptance with movements on social media and anti-shaving campaigns.
The purpose of body hair
The removal of body hair, no matter how old, was always for pure vanity. Although some thought that less body hair meant a higher level of cleanliness, that is not the case. Hygiene practices with or without body hair are the best path to cleanliness.
Having body hair can even offer more health benefits than people think.
Protection for skin and body
More hair on the body can act as a protective layer against the sun, which leads to reduced sun damage in areas that see the sun the most, such as the legs, arms or heads. Other hair in the nose, ears or eyelashes and eyebrows also play an essential role in keeping foreign invaders, such as germs, dust and dirt particles, to get into body cavities. The less a person has in these areas, the higher the chance that something will take place.
For example, a person who shaves his pubic hair can be more sensitive to infections because there has no hair as a barrier against pathogens. Simply put, your hair acts as a microscopic particles that can harm you.
