Woman embraces condition that causes thick hair growth all over her body to promote body positivity
The 32-year-old mother of three was helped by her boyfriend to accept her body hair and not fret too much about conforming to conventional ideas of beauty
A mother-of-three, who has had problems with growth of excess hair all over her body ever since she was eight years old, has finally come to accept her condition in all her hirsute glory.
Thirty-two-year-old Dana, who was recently diagnosed with hirsutism, a condition that promotes excess hair growth, said the turnaround for her life of constant bleaching, shaving and waxing came two years ago when her boyfriend asked her a simple question: "Why do you shave?"
"I never thought there was another option. He helped ease my mind so much and help me face my insecurities about my hair," she said.
Since then Dana has shared her body-hair-positive images on Instagram, and hopes that her story will inspire others to love and accept their bodies too.
