Hair today, gone tomorrow? | News Article

Winter is coming and we all need extra warmth right? This also means a lot of men stop shaving and in November, men have an entire month where they don't shave their facial hair.

So we were thinking, shouldn't women also have an official month where they don't have to shave? We found an article about a woman who has decided that she will no longer shave her chest hair. 24 year old South African Esther Calixte-Bea, took the decision to stop shaving her chest hair as she believes that she is sexier with her chest hair than she was without.

We also found that Persian Princess Qajar Dynasty, seen as the Beauty Symbol in the 19th Century, had no regard for shaving at all and she was seen as one of the most beautiful women of her time.

You can read more about Esther's story here and the Persian Princess' story here . We know the "standards of beauty" have changed over the years, but maybe society should really start thinking about that "No Shaving Month" for women.
