Celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Naomi Campbell started doing it. The masses followed suit. Except it really isn't. With advertising and media further promoting the ideal of hair-free bodies, the idea that female hair is gross has only grown. In turn, methods to achieve hairlessness have become more precise: The last four decades have seen the ascent of electrolysis, pulsed light and more advanced laser technology.
It's worth noting that those are ideas about cleanliness, contingent social norms, rather than about actually removing 'dirt. Embracing hairiness. In , Breanne Fahs, professor of women and gender studies at Arizona State University, set female students an assignment to grow their body hair and write a paper reflecting on the experience.
Fahs later extended the assignment to include the course's men, who were asked to shave their legs. The project still runs today. Mexican artist Frida Kahlo boasted a unibrow.
Women often don't realize how much society, family and friends weigh in on what we do with our bodies. And how much of what we think is a choice -- that 'I choose to shave' -- has actually been imparted to and enforced upon us for generations. But Fahs also saw feelings of empowerment, rebellion and anger stirring from the project. It's not just Fahs' students. New Barbie dolls feature vitiligo and hairless models in bid to boost diversity.
A new cohort of young women is embracing body hair, especially on Instagram. The phenomenon has also made it into magazines.
In the September issue of Harper's Bazaar, actress Emily Ratajkowski posed with unshaven underarms a full degree turn for the publication since its early anti-armpit hair messages.
YouTuber Ingrid Nilsen and musician Halsey have also showed off their body hair. Newly launched women's shaving brands are also making a case for female fuzz, and encouraging positive conversations around the topic. The Flamingo razor, from the popular grooming line Harry's, emphasizes the right to choose whether to shave with ad slogans like "No Waxation Without Representation" and "We Are Grow Choice.
Direct-to-consumer razor start-up Billie , established in , is another company that's marketing the idea of choice. Rather than showing the perfectly smooth models typical of female shaving ads, its campaigns depict ed diverse groups of women shaving, combing their wispy underarm locks or lying on the beach in bikinis with varying levels of hairiness.
