An influencer from the UK is turning heads—and sparking conversations—after posting an unapologetic video showing off her natural body hair.
For some, it seems we still need to say it louder for the people in the back: Women. Have. Body. Hair. It’s thin, thick, straight, coarse—whatever the texture, it’s completely natural, and every woman has it.
Meet Lydi, better known as @lydi.hairy on TikTok, a creator making waves with her unfiltered content about body hair. Her goal? To challenge the stigma around it and promote self-acceptance.
Lydi’s content ranges from playful “thirst traps” to practical life hacks and deep discussions about women’s bodies. But one video in particular has set TikTok on fire—earning an impressive 1.2 million views.
In a post titled “Sea Swim in the UK,” Lydi takes viewers on a serene morning dip in the ocean, rocking an orange bikini that lets her body hair shine in all its glory. Her armpit hair? On full display. Hair down there? Not hidden either. It was a simple yet bold statement: she’s rejecting society’s rigid beauty standards.

And the internet noticed.
The comments section, as expected, was a mix of support and unsolicited opinions. One user tried to insult her by comparing her to Chewbacca, to which Lydi cheekily replied, “Chewbacca**—at least get your references right, mate.” Another offered the oh-so-helpful suggestion, “You should shave, just a tip.” Her response? A big, collective “No thanks.”
But amidst the negativity were countless messages of support.
“It’s literally natural, what’s with all these comments?? Like, if a man does it, no one questions it. It’s refreshing to see,” one user wrote. Another chimed in, “I love accounts like this—people who live how they want without falling into the pressure of how a ‘woman should look.’”
One commenter even confessed, “I’m in total awe of you being brave enough to bear your hair with pride. I’ve been growing out my leg and pit hair, but I’m not brave enough yet.”
For Lydi, the criticism is just noise. In fact, she’s doubled down on her message. In a recent video, she sported the same orange bikini during an indoor swim, pairing the footage with a sound that declared, “Now this… this is a bikini body.”

Lydi isn’t just showing off body hair—she’s redefining what confidence looks like. And honestly? We have no choice but to stan.
