Underarm hair in young girls

by Tina221, Sep 15, 2008 09:00AM

My nine-year-old daughter has soft tufts of hair under her arms. It is very noticeable when she raises her arms. Do we trim it, shave it, or what do we do? She is very embarrassed with it being so obvious. Thanks so much for any information you may have.

If it really dark then I would probably say shave it just because if you trim it you still going to see the stubble's. I also have a 9 yr old dd who will soon start getting hair under her arms. And I'm not sure if I'm ready for all to come. Good luck.
