A Dane refuses to shave a mustache and monobrow and accepts herself as she is
About a year ago, Eldina Jaganzhak, a 31-year-old resident of Copenhagen, decided not to shave her face anymore. She wanted to go against public standards of beauty, because she was increasingly outraged that unlike women and men, they are not expected to shave at least one hair on their body.

Eldina stopped plucking her eyebrows and hair over her upper lip in March 2020 and soon realized that her personal feeling had not changed — she still felt feminine regardless of «extra» body hair.
Naturally, her appearance did not go unnoticed and, unfortunately, she had to face the rudeness of men. Some people directly tell her to shave, while others just stare.
The girl herself believes that this appearance helped her get rid of conservative people with whom she still does not want to communicate.
Now Eldina is surrounded only by those who do not care about her appearance and who care about her as a person.
«I used to complex when my body hair began to grow actively in my youth. At the age of 13-14, my girlfriends began to panic and began to shave as long as they were considered feminine. And I’ve always been outraged that women have to spend as much money and time to become as beautiful as society expects from us. I couldn’t go to the gym either with unshaven legs or unpinched eyebrows. But now I’m focused on what I want to achieve, not how I look. If someone doesn’t like me, I don’t care — these people are just passers-by in my life.»
