in India, pubic and underarm hair is combed and oiled daily with coconut oil. As well as keeping it glossy, it keeps it free of lice. (they can't breathe in the coconut oil). the skin absorbs vital nutrients from the coconut oil (including something that assists the metabolism).

some older indian ladies practise the art of fortunetelling by reading armpit hair. when the armpit is combed, and the dross of oil. coconut and is removed, the old ma will sit and look at the remains. Using her highly developed knowledge of the patterns of armpit hair growth and developmnent and direction of whirls and tufts of hair, she will be able to predict the person's personality, business prospects and how many children they have.

when we shave our armpits, we are removing, in our ignorance, a great body of wisdom about our selves..
