When Did Your Underarm Hair Stop Growing?

I haven't had to shave my legs in a few years but I still have to shave under my arms. I just turned 64.

I am 64 also and I sztill have to shave under my arms, but my legs, I can shave maybe once a month.

@monicakm I had laser done about 20yrs or so ago and that made it almost stop. I only get 1 or 2 thin little hairs that come back for some reason and I shave those gone 1 time per month.

As for legs I still have very fine sparse hair growing and have to get a good light to even see it but I can feel it. I am not 60 yet so I will be wondering what other ladies have to say about this. I figured I would be shaving forever LOL!

I've never had much body hair but I too still have shave under my arms even though I don't need to do my legs any longer. Not sure when I can give up the razor 100% but it can't come too soon...

At 74 I have to do the legs about once a month ... with my eye sight now ..

I can't see if the under arms need it or not .. I just do it ...

I've never had much body hair so I didn't have to shave my legs or underarms very often.

Around the age of 55 I noticed I was losing most of the little bit of hair that I had on my legs. Then one day I went to shave my underarms and there wasn't anything to shave.

The hair never did return.

Unfortunately with losing my unwanted hair I also lost some thickness of my eyebrows. I never had really nice brows to begin with but at least I could make do with just a touch of eyebrow pencil.

Now I have to spend a lot of time just trying to get my brows filled in and still keep them looking natural. I envy these women who have to get their eyebrows tweezed. I wish I had enough eyebrows to get tweezed.

I'm 68 and have stopped for a few years. I just really didn't notice when it was.

I used to shave my legs every time I took a shower even in the winter. Now I have almost nothing but will give myself a quick shave if I'm going to the beach.

One of the benefits of getting older!

I had most all of my body hair laser-treated many years ago. That was back in the '90s. I'm hairless from my cheekbones down. Yep, even down there.

I honestly didn't know this would happen. I'm 80 now and nothing on legs or underarms. The last five years or so I noticed having to shave less. I have to be real careful tweezing an eyebrow hair. I hate pulling out the wrong one. Can't spare any. I fill them in when I go out.
