A month-long campaign encouraging women to grow out their body hair is happening for the first time.
Januhairy wants ladies to "love and accept" their natural hair while raising money for charity.
Founder Laura Jackson, 21, said she has had a "great response" and women from all over the world have now signed up to take part.
The Exeter University student said she came up with the idea after growing out her own hair for a performance.
"Though I felt liberated and more confident in myself, some people around me didn't understand or agree with why I didn't shave," the third-year drama student said.
"I realised that there is still so much more for us to do to be able to accept one another fully and truly."
She launched the campaign last month and now women from the UK, US, Canada, Germany, Russia and Spain are taking part.
Get on it girls.
