Proudly showing off their leg, armpit and even pubic hair, the bold ladies have taken inspiration by Movember and fully embraced the charity challenge.
Now we are 21 days into the #Januhairy challenge, the women have showcasing their progress.
The worthwhile project was launched by Laura Jackson, a student at the University of Exeter, who called it a “project for women to challenge social norms” by going au natural.
She said: “I grew out my body hair for a performance as part of my drama degree in May 2018.
“That really opened my eyes to the taboo of body hair on a woman.
“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.”
Professor Rebecca Herzig, author of Plucked: A History of Hair Removal, said: “More than 99 per cent of American women voluntarily remove their hair, and more than 85 per cent do so regularly, even daily”.
And the average waxing fan will typically fork out a staggering £23,000 during their lifetime.
Meanwhile those with razors will spent £8,500 and spend eight weeks of their life removing hair.
Money raised goes towards the Body Gossips Education program, with women as far away as Russia and Canada signing up.
Laura added: “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.”
Women have been praising Laura’s stance, with one person telling her she’s an “inspiration”.
Another said: “Shaving, trimming or letting it grow naturally should be a choice not an obligation to please others.”
A third added: “I don't see why more ladies grow out their body hair.”

Plus this is how many times you should use a disposable razor before binning it.
And people were confused when ASOS started selling a pair of hairy sliders.
