Errr... wax and plucking are not permanent. They simply remove the hair including their roots. But eventually they'll grow back. The difference is (1) it takes longer to re-grow, and (2) the re-growth is finer and softer initially, without a cut end, which in most cases is less itchy, if at all.

Anyway, smelly armpit hair can also be due to accumulation of urea (left behind when sweat evaporates) around the base of each hair. The telltale signs are:
1. A faint smell when armpit hait is dry. You can only smell it if you stick your nose into the hair.
2. After showering, you find yellow stuff accumulated at the base of the hair. The urea deposits soak up the water and becomes visible.
3. After showering, while still, wet, the smell is slightly stronger then in point 1.

I noticed this for myself when I was in BMT. The solution is to shave or pluck off the hair because the deposits cannot be removed any other way. Thereafter, make sure your dar-dar everyday soap and scrub armpit throughly, especially after sports. You can let the hair grow back, but he must keep it clean. Now, I only have smelly armpits after strenuous sports, which is normal.
