Recently, pictures of Leonardo DiCaprio as a newborn went viral. However, rather than celebrating how cute he looked, fans of the actor are criticizing his mother’s hairstyle decisions.
While women have recently started using glitter and rainbow hues to draw attention to their underarm hair, in the bohemian ’70s, grown-out underarms were rarely considered edgy.
An old photo of Leo’s small family which was taken in 1975 was posted on Facebook. We were shocked to see how heated debates broke out between many of History All Day’s followers in the image’s comment area. Mother Irmelin’s natural underarm hair was the talk of the day, not the actor’s much-awaited Oscar victory.
We believe that a woman has the right to decide how she wants to style her body hair, regardless of what her Facebook fans may think. (And there are many deodorant alternatives to keep odor at bay if you’re worried about any extra stench that could come with longer armpit hair.)
