    I wonder if it gets thicker as you get older, the way beards do? Beard hair doesn’t just start up, it gets thicker over time.

      Armpit hair grows slower, thinner and more grey with age. Both genders.

      Perhaps we associate bushy armpits with older people because they just don’t care to remove it for longer periods of time

      Well I’m 40. I can say ,in general, i seem to be becoming less hairy as I get older.

      Hair only grows on front calf parts of my legs now. None on my toes like it used to. I asked around And my lady friends my age and older say they have experienced that too.

      My guy friends say they are pretty sure they are getting hairier. Apparently ear hair is a thing they struggle with now.
