A bearded British woman is the only woman to appear in a photography exhibition celebrating the world's best facial hair.
23 year old Harnaam Kaur started growing a beard at the age of 16 after being diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, a condition which causes excess hair growth. She said
"It’s incredible to be the only bearded woman among all these men. It makes me feel really strong.And raising awareness for such a good cause is like a cherry on the top. When I first started growing my beard it was for religious reasons but as the years have gone by I’ve kept it for more personal reasons. It makes me feel like a brave, confident woman who isn't afraid to break society’s norms"
Initially due to bullying, she used to shave and wax but after being baptised Sikh.. she stopped because the religion prohibits shaving of body hair..
