Having come of age in a pop culture and social media-driven world, the representation of women going ‘razor-free’ has been refreshing. Besides, the few ads that now have a bit of body hair in them and celebrities baring out their body hair in public and on the red carpet appear to encourage young girls to see that it’s completely normal and that embracing natural beauty is KEY.
A refusal to shave is championed on Instagram and celebs including Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, and Madonna among others are drawing attention to the date. Alongside ordinary women, the A-listers have proved they are very proud of their decision and take it upon themselves to empower other women worldwide. We’ve compiled a few that have decided to break gender-based stereotypes. Have a look, and get inspired.
