In a world where hair removal is the norm, there is a growing movement of women who are embracing their natural bodies and saying no to razors. One such trailblazer is TikTok user Hairy Cherry, who has garnered a significant following on social media by proudly showcasing her body hair. Her message is all about self-acceptance and celebrating one’s natural beauty.
Cherry’s confidence goes beyond just embracing body hair. She is also sparking conversations about daily routines, specifically questioning the necessity of frequent showering. In a recent video, she humorously lip-synced to an audio clip stating, “Absolute waste of time, so boring!” Alongside it, she playfully asked, “Who has all the time for an ‘everything shower’ every day?” By showering less often, Cherry encourages her followers to conserve water and embrace their natural selves.
Of course, Cherry anticipates questions and criticisms about her decision not to shave. In another video, she candidly addressed them, saying, “I’m a hairy girl. Of course, people are gonna ask if I shower.” She further remarked, “I’m a hairy girl. Of course, everyone assumes that I smell bad.” While some viewers applaud Cherry’s confidence and body positivity, not everyone agrees.
Comments range from supportive messages like “Body hair is normal for girls and guys, why is this such a big deal?” and “Wish I had the confidence to do this” to criticisms like “disgusting” or “unkempt.” Despite these opposing views, Cherry remains focused on what truly matters – feeling good in her own skin, regardless of whether it’s shaved or unshaved.
Cherry is not alone in challenging beauty norms. Last year, two other women made waves by advocating that “you don’t have to be hairless to wear a bikini.” This movement is all about embracing natural beauty and promoting self-acceptance. It’s a reminder that everyone has the right to define beauty on their terms and feel confident in their own unique appearance.
