She stopped shaving her armpits. “I felt awkward.” She thinks her hair “has energy”

Mya Loftus and her boyfriend Austin run social media where they talk about their everyday lives. And it is very interesting because the couple travels constantly and lives in a van. They describe themselves as “two hippies”.

In an interview with “The Sun”, the 26-year-old touched on the issue of depilation and the fact that many women feel forced to get rid of hair from every inch of their body. She did it herself, and – as she mentioned – she spent a lot of money on shavers and other depilatory products. At some point, however, she decided that she was no longer going to chase unrealistic ideals.

She gave up hair removal. “I want to stay true to myself”

– I want to stay true to myself and not let others dictate how I should look and feel. I am completely satisfied with who I am – she said, referring, among other things, to: to the hate she receives on the Internet every day. Fortunately, he doesn’t care about comments from anonymous Internet users.

She decided not to shave anymore 4 years ago. She added hectoliters of wasted water to the huge expenses on shavers, all kinds of razors, patches and depilatory creams. Ecology and respect for the environment are important points in her life. She decided that she would accept her natural body and no longer remove hair from her armpits or legs.

She also explains that she wants to challenge social norms that set beauty standards for women that are far from reality. And on the Internet it shows itself in its natural form, among others: to show other women that body hair is not “bad”.

I believe my hair has energy because my body creates it. This is magical

– she said. She also added that thanks to the decision she made 4 years ago, she feels free. – It gives you a sense of comfort in your own skin and rejection of unrealistic beauty standards – she added.

All bodies are unique in their own way. Hairy or not, you are made to be loved

– he says with conviction.

Mya has stopped shaving and she has a good reason. “There were times when I felt awkward”

Mya also revealed that giving up hair removal brought back some memories from her childhood and adolescence. – From an early age, my family taught me that women/girls must get rid of their hair, she said. “There were times when I felt self-conscious about what people might think, but I learned to put my own feelings and confidence ahead of the opinions of others,” she explained.

She also added that accepting the hair that naturally grows on every human body was also a kind of “journey towards self-knowledge.” – It’s about accepting myself as I am, regardless of expectations – said the 26-year-old hippie.
