Bearded lady reveals she now loves her unshaven look after years of bullying

24yr old Harnaam Kaur, who lives in Berkshire, UK, and suffers from what doctors calls polycystic ovary syndrome (facial hair growth in women) says she now loves her beards and have stopped trying to get rid of it. Harnaam said she started growing the beards when she was just 11 years old and had to endure years of bullying and people making fun of her.

Harnaam, who once attempted suicide, had in the past tried to wax, bleach and shave the hair which also started growing on her chest and arms but finally decided to stop after being baptised as a Sikh, a religion that forbids the cutting of body hair. She's now speaking up about her new-found confidence.

Speaking during an appearance on This Morning, Harnaam said:
"At the end of the day, I love myself and the way that I'm formed. Going through primary and secondary school with the facial hair, kids can be nasty. It led me to self harm and wanting to take my own life. It takes a lot of strength to say, 'I want to kill myself. A split second is all it took. That thought process really empowered me to just carry on with life.
"I'm more spiritual now than I am religious, I live my life the way I see fit. I stand for what I am. To be labelled as a woman you can look however you want."
Harnaam is now working on a campaign to show that name-calling has a big impact with anti-bullying charity Fixers and appears in a short film with her brother.

Linda pcos is not facial hair growth in women it is a condition where u have cysts on your ovaries which in turn causes hair growth in women among other things, this is because of the testosterone hormone released by the ovaries.

Aunty Linda, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is not the growth of facial hair in women. Facial hair growth is one of the symptoms.

Linda, google is your friend. Take the time to do some research before posting biko

#smh - in the next 100 years when men are exactly equal to women (men will be carrying pregnancy and women will have penis transplanted into them); there will be no need for man and woman. Men will Marry Men and Women will marry women (no more inter-sex marriage). Geneva things.

#Classic - BUHARI TO BUILD 4 REFINERIES IN 4 YEARS (He built 2 before in 2 years so why should we doubt him?)

#SMH - People keep saying bad eggs from PDP to APC; THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THESE BAD EGGS WILL BE LED BY A GOOD EGG! Nigerians are bad drivers but when they go abroad they become the best of drivers because they are made to be held responsible for driving badly unlike in Nigeria when 500NGN or less can get you out of trouble.

The syndrome does not mean facial hair growth in women. The hair is just one of the features. Hirsutism is hair growth. I try for dis one.
