Meet Aria Loca, a 34-year-old social media influencer from Mexico, who’s changing the way we think about beauty.
Aria has chosen to embrace her natural body hair, rejecting the idea that women need to be hairless to be beautiful.
From a young age, we’re shown images of women with smooth skin, suggesting that’s how all women should look. But Aria, inspired by other women and Patti Smith’s “Easter” album cover, decided at 21 that she didn’t need to shave to feel beautiful. She loves her natural look and wants to show it off to the world.

Aria’s confidence has inspired some of her friends, who say they admire her bravery but are too worried about what others might think to follow in her footsteps. Of course, not everyone agrees with Aria’s choice. She’s faced some negative comments online from people who can’t understand why she’d want to keep her body hair. But Aria doesn’t let the haters get her down. She focuses on the positive feedback, especially from those who appreciate her natural beauty.
Despite the mixed reactions online, Aria has found a supportive community that loves her look. She says she receives daily compliments from fans who admire her hairy legs and armpits.

However, she admits that finding acceptance in real life can be harder. Aria once changed her appearance to please a partner, but she’s decided she won’t do that anymore. For her, it’s important to be with someone who accepts her completely.
Aria believes that if women weren’t meant to have body hair, they wouldn’t have it. She loves her body hair because it’s part of embracing her womanhood.
What do you think about Aria’s view on body hair? Is it time we changed our beauty standards? Share this story and let’s start a conversation about natural beauty.
