2015
is going to be about two things, and two things only: Armpit hair and
colorful dyes. Well, at least that's what's going to happen if Roxie
Hunt, a Seattle stylist, has anything to say about it.
Hunt, who has always wanted to dye a customer's armpit hair, according
to The Los Angeles Times, recently experimented with a willing
participant, dyeing her armpit a bright and vibrant blue. She was
excited and so was her client. Hunt wrote about the experience in a blog
post that has over 30,000 shares and while the #dyedpits hashtag isn't
tearing up Instagram yet (there are less than 30 posts), it's certainly
something that more people are taking notice of.
Considering how subversive even having
armpit hair can be seen for woman, actually dyeing it so that it's not
just there, but clearly visible may be not just an act of beauty but a
statement. Men have dyed their armpit hair before (I have seen it; it
was orange) without fanfare besides an "oh my god that is so crazy oh my
god" from friends, so why is it such a big deal when women do it?
Hunt doesn't think it should be and sees what she's doing as empowering:
"We laughed and marveled at the beauty of her blue pit hair," wrote Hunt in a blog post. "It was too good to be true. The color in her pits perfectly matched the color on her head. I felt a major win for body hair."
The L.A.
Times has asked whether anyone would be interested in having their
armpit hair dyed after reading the article, but the responses have been
scant. Actually, there's only been one, from a user named "Big Jim
Slade" who says he's not convinced. Are you?
