Two Influencers Made a Statement âYou Donât Have To Be Hairless To Go to the Beachâ
For more than a decade, women have been meticulously taming the hair on their bodies. However, in recent times, champions of body positivity are all about celebrating a womanâs freedom to choose. Shaving legs and armpits? Some are saying, âNo, thanks!â And guess what? These two fabulous young women are boldly flaunting the message that thereâs absolutely nothing wrong with rocking natural body hair â even when youâre hitting the beach.
Sara Puhto and Bella Davis are body-positive influencers.
Meet Sara Puhto and Bella Davis, two extraordinary young women rocking Instagram with uplifting vibes. They love spreading body positivity by sharing their âimperfectionsâ and cheering on fellow ladies to embrace and adore their bodies, no matter what society says.
Theyâve stirred up the discussion by saying beach shaving should be a choice, not an obligation.
They recently shared a collage of themselves in swimsuits, proudly displaying their unshaven bikini lines. âItâs your personal choice to shave, wax, or grow your body hair,â the caption said. âThereâs no wrong way for your body to look. You donât owe anyone a smooth, bump-free, hairless body!â
Their post went viral, accumulating over 50K likes and hundreds of comments. However, not all the responses to their body hair-positive message were in agreement with the two influencers.
Their post caused division, drawing both agreement and disagreement from commenters.
Some people were unhappy with the girlsâ photos and rushed to write to them about it in the comments:
- âI would never wear a bikini with a full hairy bikini line like this, never, not even if paid. Besides the gender stuff, there are also cultural aspects too. I was born an raised in the country that carries the name of the waxing technique.â
- âIt is unhygienic donât fool yourselves because you donât want to shave/wax. The rest of you body fine keep your hair on those arms and legs whatever floats your boat but armpit and pubic hair has to go, even if itâs at least once a month.â
- âIf you keep it to yourself you should be free of judgment. If you throw it in peopleâs faces publicly you have no right to be protected from judgement.â
