You're completely right... Hair is MORE hygienic actually. One of the reasons we physically have hair is because it serves as a barrier to protect your skin and entrances to your body (ears, nostrils, eyes, etc.) from dirt and bacteria that would have an easy path to these entrances if hair WASN'T there! The argument that it's unhygienic is not only just not correct, but it's the complete opposite! Rock on :) (I shave/wax my whole body because prickly hair irritates me but I don't care if others don't do the same - if anything they're at a health advantage so good for them lol!)

I agree. Someone tried to say body hair is unclean and should be shaved off completely, then why do we have hair, to begin with?! You'd think that if it was so unclean that we would have been created without it. Nevertheless, that person has a very disturbing history. I happily went in the opposite direction.

Body hair is a sign of sexual maturity! If anything because of this it should be attractive in biological terms, so if you think about it, it's so weird it's considered "wrong"... If you think about it, who naturally has no body hair? Children. Just saying, it's kinda sus that is the beauty standard, and since I've started thinking about it that way, I feel weird being completely shaved.

I 100% hate shaving down there. It's hard, looks horrible after 1 day... you know, when it gets all bumpy and pointy. The feeling is disgilusting... like a milon needles lightle bothering you untill you grow it out a bit. Fuck beauty standards.

In mainland India, women have moustaches as well and people don't care. Girls keep their leg hair and its kind of normal. I barely shave my legs and I've never felt insecure

As a woman with PCOS, I grew up so incredibly insecure about my thick, dark, body hair. I stopped wearing bikinis when I was 12 because I was so deeply mortified and simply couldn't shave every single area that I grew hair. The more content I consume of ladies leaning into their tummy fuzz, their fluffy bum cheeks and voluminous eyebrows the less important my "flaws" feel. A hairy body is not gross or masculine or ugly, it's just alive and doing its thing. Thank you for posting about this 💜

I’m pale and I have a lot of dark hair on my arms. Once I shaved them because I was curious how my arms would look like without hair. My hairless arms reminded me of a naked mole-rat. I haven’t removed my armhair ever since. Sometimes people ask me why I don’t shave my arms or if I’ve ever thought about shaving then. And they are always shook or at least surprised when I tell them that I prefer my arms to be hairy. I don’t want naked mole-rat arms.

I love everything that you said about being too involved in what the other person does with their body in relationships. I remember reading a post online where a girl had gone from long hair to shaving her head, simply because she wanted to and was tired of having long hair. Apparently her boyfriend got super mad at her so she was asking people online if that was justified. Tons of people then proceeded to tell her that she should've asked him first since she's his girlfriend and he obviously prefers girls with long hair - it was absolutely mind-blowing how many people were genuinely convinced that she needed his PERMISSION in order to change her appearance. It's kind of scary how normalised this way of thinking is.

Haven't shaved my legs since March last year. I do still sometimes feel weird about it. What will other people think? But then I remind myself why I decided to stop shaving: Because I don't want to live in a world where women are made to feel insecure about their natural body hair. End of story. I love seeing more women embrace their natural beauty. Thanks for sharing Harmony ❤

Omg that's kinda me. I mean I wouldn't shame anyone for not shaving their legs and going out in a dress, but I'm too lazy for shaving which means my bare legs haven't seen the sunlight in years since I only wear long trousers no matter the weather.

Those that say shaving dont take a long time, are damn wrong xD I think I spent almost an hour yesterday, shaving my legs, underarms and downstairs 👀. Armpits only take like 2 mins, but the rest is so heavy to do. Takes ages.

I hardly shaved as a kid and went to school one day with hairy ass legs while wearing shorts. My school crush happened to sit next to me during a presentation we had, and that is the one single moment I remember becoming aware of the pressure of girls needing to be hairless. Even though he didn't comment on it, I was suddenly so self conscious of the hair because of what society had brainwashed me into believing. This passing year, while being hard af, has also brought me sooo much healing regarding my body, and now I just let my body hair do whatever and I only shave when I feel like it. It's fucking rad that a lot of women are healing themselves and ignoring these exhausting beauty standards.

I needed this so much. I'm on a journey now trying to heal my mental and physical health and growing my body hair and becoming lower maintenance but still clean and healthy with my outward natural appearance has been such a great thing for me. I've been growing all body hair for 6 months now.

As most girls, I grew up thinking it was gross and wrong for girls to have body hair. I was never told otherwise. I don’t shave purely cause I can’t be arsed and I’m so lazy about it. I also just generally hate it for how long it takes. But I will occasionally, especially in summer. Good for girls who can rock it confidently!

I find most people irl are against body hair. My mother, friends, classmates, etc. I have had multiple comments on my body hair from a negative pov. Though most are against it, they don't really deep down care about what you do with your body. I'm very fortunate I had two particular friends who were against shaving as a teen which has empowered me to be my natural self forevermore. It has become silent activism to me now. If people stare I think good, I'm expanding their worldview. I also like not shaving, so so much. I hate the scratchy sharp stubble. I'd like to add, as I'm ginger myself too I have incredibly light ginger body hair which does help others' opinions on my hair. I've heard ''at least it's light''. You are allowed to learn to love your body hair. You're allowed to grow it. You can give and receive love with body hair. Do what you like and challenge the normal if you want to. The more you push yourself out of your comfort zone the bigger it will get.

Wow I was literally debating shaving my legs today because of my insecurity. The goddess works hard.

I sometimes shave and sometimes don't. Definitely in the winter i stop all shaving and wear tank tops with a sweater. My kids get a little weirded out by seeing body hair on a grown woman and i tell them that's exactly why I don't shave when I don't feel like it- i want body hair in women to seem as normal to them as when someone is shaved.

I'm recovering from an eating disorder since November and I've never shaved since then. I'm okay! I will probably, I'll shave just some parts of my body. Who knows? I'm reconnecting with it and that's what matters 💜

I'm so glad to see this kind of video. I remember when I was 11-12, I was swimming due to my scoliosis, I had to go through very painful waxing because my mom wouldn't let me shave, since waxing weakens the roots. My skin is SO sensitive, I just recently stopped shaving and waxing all together. And never looked back. Also, looking at the roots of why women shave, it's honestly disgusting. A lot of misogynistic and paedophilic things in the mix.

Funny how you uploaded this the day I went on a mini rant about how I hated my body hair and wanted to shave it all off.

I had almost the exact same experience when I grew up. The first time someone mentioned my body hair was when my armpit hair had begun growing out. Me and my friend were swimming and playing around in the pool, she saw my the hair (it wasn't a lot at this time, but it was just starting to show), looked a bit disgusted and told me I needed to shave. Again; that I NEEDED to shave. I felt so ashamed of myself and my body and how I looked, and I think it was around that point every insecurity about my body started. So I started to shave practically everything. At one point I even shaved my arms! 🤦🏻‍♀️ In hindsight I should have just told her to mind her own business, but at the time I always felt inferior to EVERYONE. I tried growing my armpit hair out again, when I was around 20. Almost the same thing happened. These days I can't believe this is still a thing. Why care what others do or don't do with their body and lives? Treat others the way you want to be treated. It's not harder than that. ^.^ These days I think it's kinda fun to have hairy legs. It's a fun feeling to feel the wind blow through your leg hair. x)

I’m so happy to have been brought up in a household where shaving was never really enforced. The only time I do shave is during summer and that’s only some times. If we weren’t meant to have body hair, we wouldn’t naturally grow it and much like things like tattoos and piercings, I believe it is a choice for people to change their natural bodies. Societal standards are the problem not the hair in which we grow.

I love seeing girls with body hair! I believe it's everyone's choice - which has to be respected! I personally choose to shave because I find it more comfortable (it gets itchy when the hair grows out), but if I need or want to grow it out I don't want to be insecure about it! It's natural!

I'm a boy and I have the complete opposite reaction to you being angry and upset that you have to shave (hold on, i know how that sounds). I've been told my whole life that it's okay for me, a boy, to have body hair but I've always hated it on myself and have wanted to shave it off for so long but have been to lazy and kind of scared to? I never wear shorts in public or anything other than a sweatshirt (for other reasons other than arm hair too). Recently it's kind of gotten better, I've learned to accept my facial hair and arm hair more but i still need to learn to accept other parts of my body. (Hopefully i can soon, this video helped a bit) Edit: i read my comment over again and it seems like I'm just hating on body hair in general, to clarify I mean body hair on myself. If you enjoy your body hair or others than you do you, that's your preference.

Just curious, do you feel that way about all of your body hair (legs, armpits, arms, face, etc) or just your armpits?

It's ok if a guy wants to shave too, it's all about doing what makes you happy. If after you come to accept your body hair, you find that you would still prefer it shaved, then go for it.

it's getting warmer again and I shaved a strip of about 15cm width on my ankles bc I started wearing sneakers again, and I caught one of my coworkers staring at my leg hair peaking out from my pants. Now I kinda regret it because I haven't shaved it in 1,5 years and the hair never bothered me at all. These little strips of naked skin look and feel so weird now, and it really makes me realize why I grew it out in the first place

I’ve had men multiple times in my life asking me to shave before seeing them. It honestly did shame me into shaving most of my body and even to this day i feel shamed about it whenever it gets longer. This video really kind of snapped me out of it a little, but I definitely still need to work on my positivity about these things. Much love to you, Harmony ♥️

I am naturally super hairy. I have dark thick hair on my arms and legs, less on my back, stomach, feet, toes, hands and fingers. But it's still there. I'm 14 and I'm a natural person. But I can't help but have self-doubt. I always feel like I look ugly with it. Because that's what society told me. I have being shaving si much lately. I used to never. But then I started to because I got so insecure. This video had encouraged me to stop doing it. I'm going to try super hard not to.

I used to shave my arms because I often wore short sleeves and my arm hair is very dark and thick, but now I stopped shaving them. Sometimes people stare, but no one says anything about it, and they don't seem to care much.

i was kinda waiting for this video from u!! thank u so much for doing it - especially talking about partners and "preferences". i went on the same body hair positive journey, while in a long term relationship and my bf struggled. i realised he felt my hairiness (way more than him lol) affected the way HE was percieved. like his worth and status was based on MY appearance. boy did i get mad lmao. we talked about it and thankfully he realised how silly it was. i love my body hair and wouldn't change it for anyone 💖

Yay!!!! A Harmony video. And this topic came at the right time. I’ve been really insecure about my underarm hair. Sending love and light your way. 💛

So happy to see your growth since the last time I’ve visited your channel. What beautiful work❣️

How do you always look so PRETTY what the heck.

My favourite youtuber back at it again making my day, making me feel better and more confident about myself, and just all in all making my day better :)

it feels like you are in a very good place right now. i recently watched some of your old videos and you have come such a long way. im so happy for you, harmony💕

Seeing your content evolve through the years is inspiring. I can see the spiritual growth. It's powerful.

Love seeing you do this!! I never shaved my leg hair, because when I was a kid I hated the idea of going through pain just to get rid of hairs that didn't bother me. But as I grew older and I got armpit hair, my mum would literally force me to shave it off when going on holiday with her. She was ashamed and yelled at my face that it was ugly. But a couple years ago, we were gonna go on holiday and she was forcing me again. I firmly refused and compromised on shortening it a bit, and nothing more. She's almost stopped bothering me about it since then. It's really insane how people see this as the norm. Even my supportive parents (I have two pairs bc of divorce) were like "ah but no on women it's not good". Hopefully it'll be normalised soon. Sorry for long rant lmao

My mother doesn't care about my hair, she doesn't even shave, but when I go to the gym I shave because I'm afraid people will look at me weird. I know, it's dumb! My hair is dark and really noticeable. I don't even care showing it on the beach, because it's full of strangers. But at the gym it's different. I know those people, but we're just aquaintances so I feel awkward around them normally, let alone with body hair showing... All the other girls there shave, even the most masculine presenting. With covid the gyms closed so I haven't been shaving for almost a year, I just shorten my armpit hair once in a while because it irritates my skin when it's too long. But that's it. I wish someday to stop caring about hair at the gym as well.

I feel you!!! My mom is trying to force me and keeps repeating that's its ugly. Even my dad which is more cool with it is disturbed when he sees my body hair. One day it'll become normal!

You are such a healthy influence to me. Like really! And you are helping so many people with your journey. Please keep growing Harmony, it’s so refreshing!

You know what, I'm gonna start excepting myself, and loving my natural body more. I say I hate so many things that are natural about myself, like my hair, and my period, my natural body shape. And it's so stupid how society has conditioned not only me, but soooooo many women into disliking/hating their natural bodies. So I'm gonna give this hair thing a try. See how I like it. Thank you for this beautiful video, Harmony! 💖

Thank you for being human. Humanity needs more like you.

I feel very stupid about this now, but I used to barade a friend of mine when we were younger about her armpit hair. I mostly did it bc I saw others talk about her back about it, and I didn't want her to be bullied. Now I realize I actually let her even more down..

It's nice having your videos back in my life they just have such a soothing vibe.

omg, i've been waiting for this for sooo long. i am so happy that you made this video! thank you

I just got a notification from essential sunshine while watching saying “Honor the discomfort- it is sacred” and it’s fitting🪴

I was always very insecure about my body hair - and I'd though that I had to shave it to make myself "more attractive". Then.. I've got into a relationship 2 years ago with my current boyfriend. He said to me one day: "you really don't need to shave, I actually love your body hair, I find it cute and also.. it's absolutely natural". Soo I slowly got used to it and now I think of it as a natural part of my body. Some days, when I feel like it, I still shave my armpits, but that's all.

Thank you Harmony! 🧡

I love it and you! The confidence and positivity that radiates from this video is amazing, keep being you 💕

ayyyyyyyy babessss!!! i loved hearing about your body hair acceptance, so bloody cool!! hairy pits for the win xoxoxoxox and big love for the shoutout i think you gave me like 100 subs which is so helpful rn cos youtube hates me 🤣 lyyy xxxx

What helped me get used to my leg hair in the summer was bleaching the hairs! It was the perfect middle ground and it was fun to do and when they're blonde they glitter in the sun like little angel hairs. It's the loveliest thing ever! 💖

You definitely are a natural healer... You have found your calling. Thank you. You are such a beautiful person.

Thank you Harmony, you are such a role model to me! I love your videos, they are so helpful

The atmosphere we all needed today (harmony’s lovely self)

Yes I love this! I just recently stopped shaving last year and have never looked back! I used to really hate my body mostly my legs. Since starting my healing journey and making the choice to stop shaving has helped me see my body how it’s supposed to be seen. I have grown to love all the parts of myself that I once hated. Embrace the hair ladies. 🤍

I find your evolution fascinating. A few years ago I came across your older vids and something just didn't resonate. I felt that it was primarily focused on aesthetics of spirituality so much that I turned away from your messages... ....now I definitely feel a shift with you and your messages. I subscribed.

Yay! I’ve been looking forward to another of your videos! You totally inspire me x

I’ve grown out all of my body hair over the past 3 years.. i love it. The only body hair that I feel slightly insecure about still is my mustache and my bikini line since I have rather dark hair in those areas.. but hey nobody is forced to look at me. If someone has a problem with the way my body looks, that’s their own personal problem, not mine.

i feel so much love watching this

i stopped shaving around december 2019 and it is one of the best decisions i have ever made

Omg,your hair is soooo curly and fresh looking and so gingeeer💜💜💜

Your so beautiful! Thank you for this video and for all your help! You have helped me so much over the years! Lots of love ❤

i kinda felt you would drop a video today haha... was really in an amazing headspace, went for a walk and came back and sat down to eat and though "man. i'd really love to watch a video by harmony right now." and a few hours later, there it is hehe. thanks, soul sister! greetings from a fellow taurus witch from germanyyy

I don't have much to say other than this. Thank you for sharing your views, and tips with us. Its incredibly inspiring to see you so naturally not give a damn & be so full of love! Seriously, Harmony, thank you! 💚✨

Perfect timing! I am going to travel this weekend to a resort and I'm thinking about my body hair 24/7 and this video really helped me

I've been growing out my armpit hair for about 3 years now I think and I'm so happy to see you talk about this 🥺💙 it really is just amazing to be able to have this conversation. Thank you, so much of what you said resonates with me and I know it will help me continue to be more comfortable with my body hair 😊💙 I am not here to be looked at ❤️

I have a lot of issues with hair so thank you for the positivity ily!!

I admire your courage! This is such important subject. Listening to you makes me feel stronger myself, thank you so much! 💖 Greetings from Estonia!

It looks cute! And feels powerful

Hi! I'm just starting into witchcraft and getting to know witch youtubers. So, I'm watching some of your videos (I haven't watched this one yet, but it feels right to comment this on your latest one)... and I gotta say, you're so great. At first I didn't know what to expect, but you definitely have such a powerful energy, and also calming. I also liked that we were born 10 days apart! (may 29, 1997) So, thank you for uploading your content, everything. You're amazing and I really hope you can feel the energy I'm trying to send you through this message. Thank you, again Harmony.

Missed your vids. Happy to see you today!! Hope you are doing well and that you are blessed! Have a great day!

Omg I have the EXACT SAME gold collar thingy!! So so beautiful!! 💛💛💛

You’re such an incredible role model❤️

Recently discovered your channel and I’m absolutely loving your content 💖

Thank you for making these videos❤
