Underarm hair stops growing after reaching a certain length because of its pre-programmed growth cycle. Hair growth follows phases: anagen (growth), catagen (transitional), and telogen (resting). Underarm hair's growth phase is shorter than that of scalp hair, causing it to stop growing after achieving its predetermined length.
