Even though hair removal is still a popular option, more and more women are accepting their natural bodies and giving up on razors. One such lady is Hairy Cherry, a TikTok user who has amassed a sizable social media following (more than 10,000) by displaying her body hair with pride. Her statement? It’s all about accepting who you are.
Cherry has more confidence than just physical hair. She’s also igniting discussions on everyday rituals, like the necessity of taking regular showers. She recently posted a funny video in which she lip-synced to an audio clip that said, “Absolute waste of time, so boring!” “Who has all the time for a ‘everything shower’ every day?” the comment that went with the image jokingly questioned the importance of taking a shower every day.
She inspires her followers to embrace their real selves and save water by accepting her decision to take fewer showers. Cherry expects inquiries about her choice to forgo shaving. She addressed them directly in another video, saying, “I’m a hairy girl.” “I’m a hairy girl, so of course people are going to ask if I shower,” she said. Naturally, people think I smell horrible. Cherry’s body positivity and confidence are praised by some viewers, but not by all.
Supportive remarks such as “Body hair is normal for girls and guys; why is this such a big deal?” are among the comments.” and “Wish I dared to do this” in response to derogatory remarks like “disgusting” or “unkempt.”
Cherry doesn’t let these divergent opinions distract her from what counts, which is feeling confident in her skin, whether or not she is shaven. Not just Cherry defies conventional notions of beauty. By promoting the idea that “you don’t have to be hairless to wear a bikini,” two other ladies created a stir last year.
It’s a movement that encourages acceptance of oneself and embraces inherent beauty.
