Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

You may have begun to see images of women celebrating and showing off their underarm hair on your social media feeds. If you haven’t, you will soon.

The #NoShaveNoShade movement is a push toward women celebrating their body hair and shunning the idea that it’s something to hide or get rid of. Women from all backgrounds have taken to their profiles to show off their grown out, and sometimes dyed underarm hair.

The movement is gaining traction on outlets like Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter and even Facebook. So, we want to know how you feel about the campaign. Are you down to embrace your natural body hair or are you holding on to your razor for dear life?

Sound off below!
