Famous Women Who Embrace Their Natural Body Hair On and Off-Screen
Removing most of your body hair while you’re busy with your life? Who has time for that?
Body hair has been debated throughout the years regarding whether it can be seen as attractive on a woman’s body. Society often aligns with the notion that men find women more attractive if they have less hair in certain places, such as armpits or legs.
This has resulted in women succumbing to various methods like waxing, shaving, and laser removal. The sad part is that rather than doing it to feel more comfortable in their skin, many women do it to avoid judgmental looks.
The media portrays actresses who are flawless because they are pampered to be ‘screen-ready,’ which often fuels the insecurities of women everywhere. This is why celebrities who go against the grain by letting their natural body hair show are gaining recognition.
If more famous women demonstrate that they can flaunt their natural body hair in front of people, perhaps more individuals will accept it. This would lessen the tendency of companies to capitalize on products that target women’s insecurities about body hair.
Women’s body hair is as normal as men’s. The difference is that men are not shamed for theirs.
Women are sometimes ridiculed for taking a long time to get ready for dates and events because they must ensure they look flawless, hair-wise. But when they disregard that expectation, they are condemned for it as well.
This is why famous women like those on this list might inspire others to say, to heck with it. Let your hair flow the way you want it to.
