-- Posted by Anonymous at 2:11 am on Oct. 12, 2008 I have dark brown hair, and when I shave my armpits there is always a dark shadow left, even if the shave is close and there is no stubble. It's quite visible and super annoying, does anybody know why this happens or a way to get rid of it? Thanks in advance. -- Posted by Siress at 2:11 am on Oct. 12, 2008 Wax, amiright? -- Posted by rawrr at 2:11 am on Oct. 12, 2008 Get it waxed. -- Posted by rosebud at 2:12 am on Oct. 12, 2008 sounds like a lighting issue shine a torch on your underarm -- Posted by cherryD at 2:14 am on Oct. 12, 2008  It's 'cause the roots of the hair is still stuck under your skin. Plucking them out is obviously painful, so wax...is also painful, but not as painful... -- Posted by Anonymous at 2:16 am on Oct. 12, 2008 Quote: from CherryD at 9:14 pm on Oct. 12, 2008 It's 'cause the roots of the hair is still stuck under your skin.

I guess I'll have to try waxing =) -- Posted by LittleNutTammi at 2:16 am on Oct. 12, 2008 The drop shadow box is probably still checked. -- Posted by thesillyasian at 2:17 am on Oct. 12, 2008 wax? laser hair removal? -- Posted by blufindr at 2:27 am on Oct. 12, 2008 Quote: from LittleNutTammi at 7:16 pm on Oct. 12, 2008 The drop shadow box is probably still checked. I lol'ed. Does it look like a hair problem or a pigmentation issue in your skin? If it's the latter, go get it checked out by a medical professional.
