A WOMAN has hit back at the savage meanies who troll her for not shaving her hairy chest.
TikTok user Esie (@queen_esie) remembers herself having a hairy body from as early as 11, and at first, she did what most beauty lovers would do – get rid of the hair.
But no matter what she did, the hair kept on growing back, and it felt like a lost battle.
''My body, it seemed like it was fighting back,'' Esie told her 35k fans on TikTok.
Fed up of the never-ending shaving, Esie had finally had enough and ditched the razors in 2019.
Since then, the young woman has embraced her natural body hair, often flashing it in public too.

However, despite feeling more freed than ever, the bold move has also attracted a lot of negative attention from people, who all seem to wonder about on thing in particular – the smell.
Responding to the critics on social media, Esie insisted that having body hair does not automatically translate to an unpleasant aroma.
''That's usually food and that you're not wearing deo. It's good to take a shower every day,'' she reminded her critics.
''It's the bacteria that makes it smell – it's not about the hair.

''And just to add to that, I've met people who shave their entire body and they smell really, really strong.''
For those looking to join the movement and embrace their natural selves, Esie said that the cold winter months are the perfect opportunity to start.

This, she explained, is because you will be ''all covered up'' and you will finally have the chance to see just how comfortable you are with yourbody and body hair.
Esie advised: ''Start using self-affirmations to kind of change these ideas that we were programmed to have because of society.''
Esie's videos have won her thousands of views – but the response has been mixed.
Whilst some praised the young woman for ditching the razors, many hair hair-rifed.
One jealous bloke wrote: ''She got more than me.''
Someone else agreed, adding: ''That is disgusting.''
''it’s unrealistic to take a few mins to shave?'' another wanted to know.
Luckily, amidst all the hate was also support from kind-hearted social media users who thanked Esie for being so open.
