Novi trend: Žene masovno dijele slike neobrijanih nogu, pazuha...

Nije nikakva tajna da žene tijekom zime često zanemare brijanje nogu jer ih nitko osim partnera neće vidjeti. To je vjerojatno bio korijen projekta #Januhairy

Jednom kad neka slavna osoba učini nešto novo, to lako može pokrenuti trend. Hoće li nova ideja zaživjeti ili će biti samo kratkotrajno ludilo, to nije uvijek lako procijeniti.

Rihanna se s dlakavim nogama fotografirala za svoj Instagram, dok je jedna reklama pokazala dlakava pazuha. Nekima su takvi događaji nesumnjivo poticaj da učine isto, dok druge osobe postanu dio trenda iz čisto praktičnih razloga.

Hi I’m Laura, the gal behind Januhairy! I thought I would write a little about my experiences and how Januhairy came about... I grew out my body hair for a performance as part of my drama degree in May 2018. There had been some parts that were challenging for me, and others that really opened my eyes to the taboo of body hair on a woman. After a few weeks of getting used to it, I started to like my natural hair. I also started to like the lack of uncomfortable episodes of shaving. Though I felt liberated and more confident in myself, some people around me didn’t understand why I didn’t shave/didn’t agree with it. I realised that there is still so much more for us to do to be able to accept one another fully and truly. Then I thought of Januhairy and thought I would try it out. It’s a start at least . . . I have had a lot of support from my friends and family! Even though I had to explain why I was doing it to a lot of them which was surprising, and again, the reason why this is important to do! When I first started growing my body hair my mum asked me “Is it you just being lazy or are you trying to prove a point?” . . . why should we be called lazy if we don’t want to shave? And why do we have to be proving a point? After talking to her about it and helping her understand, she saw how weird it was that she asked those questions. If we do something/see the same things, over and over again it becomes normal. She is now going to join in with Januhairy and grow out her own body hair which is a big challenge for her as well as many women who are getting involved. Of course a good challenge! This isn’t an angry campaign for people who don’t see how normal body hair is, but more an empowering project for everyone to understand more about their views on themselves and others. This picture was taken a few months ago. Now I am joining in with Januhairy, starting the growing process again along with the other wonderful women who have signed up! Progress pictures/descriptions from our gals will be posted throughout the month. Lets get hairy 🌵 #januhairy #bodygossip #bodyhairmovement #happyandhairy #loveyourbody #thenaturalrevolution #natural #hairywomen #womanpowe

Nova 2019. započela je s nešto većim brojem žena koje su se odlučile pridružiti projektu #Januhairy – ideji da tijekom siječnja puste svojim dlakama da rastu kako žele. Studentica Laura Jackson na Sveučilištu Exeter započela je s prestankom brijanja za performans.

"There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty."~Steve Maraboli • • • @i_am_morgie~ “…Imagine if everyone just decided that today was the day they loved themselves and embraced every part of them selves. Accepting and loving your body and your "flaws" because you know they are what makes you who you are. If you are focused on being true to yourself in every moment, you are less concerned what others think, which will lead to peace of mind. When you have nothing to hide and you can freely be yourself, there is a profound peace/confidence you will emanate to the world that will inspire others.”👏 • • • All the girls joining in januhairy are shaving off their body hair on New Year’s Eve (Monday 31st) ready to kick start the new year with a new challenge! We have many women who have signed up for this charity project so far, from the age range of 16-60! ✨💃✨💃 Sign up and join in while you can! #3daysleft #januhairy #thenaturalrevolution #bodyhairmovement #bodypositive #spreadlove #behappy #namaste#hairywomen #healing #healthylifestyle #selfcare #loveyourself #beyourself #bethechange #divine #inspireothers #inspirationalquotes #positivity #goodvibesonly #lifeisbeautiful #hairy #gratitude #weareone #higherconsciousness #freespirit #empowerment #smile #feelgood #bodygossip

'Iako sam se osjećala oslobođeno i bila puna samopouzdanja, ljudi oko mene nisu razumjeli što radim, niti su se slagali sa mnom. Shvatila sam kako smo još daleko od toga da se međusobno prihvatimo onakvi kakvi jesmo', kaže Laura Jackson.

#repost Image by @pelyagudo Too much time is spent on teaching girls to worry about what the world thinks of them. All around the world there are magazines, books, films, celebrities, adverts etc, etc...Constantly reminding women how to look, what to do and who to be. All to bring more pleasure and acceptance to the eyes of society. These influences remind us that we can never be satisfied; they depict and create our flaws and insecurities, when the real flaw of ours is how we don’t love our naked and un-pampered selves, for just the way they are. Januhairy, is a project to help women feel they are in a safe space to be able to challenge the embedded norms of shaving. It's an experiment for people taking part, and the people viewing the process. The sponsorship money goes to Body Gossip’s education program, aiming to change young minds and their views on their bodies. If you would like to get involved, the sign-up form is in the bio ☝🏻✨☝🏻 #januhairy #bodygossip #bodyhairmovement #happyandhairy #loveyourbody #thenaturalhealthrevolution #natural #hairywomen #womanpower #selflove #feminine

Projekt #Januhairy potiče žene da se prestanu brijati kako bi skrenule pažnju na prihvaćanje ženskog tijela bez obzira na standarde ljepote. U pitanju je dobrotvorni projekt koji prikuplja novac za Body Gossip – neprofitnu organizaciju koja promovira obrazovanje o uništavanju predrasuda.

Kao što se na Instagramu Laure Jackson može vidjeti, brzo je našla mnoštvo žena koje se slažu s njom.

'Ako nešto učinimo dovoljno puta, to će postati normalno. Brijanje bi trebalo biti izbor, a ne obaveza', zaključila je 21-godišnja Laura Jackson.
