Harnaam Kaur is with a condition that causes excessive facial and body hair to develop has written an open letter to her younger self telling her to accept her 'beautiful' beard.She is from Slough, Berkshire, and she suffers from polycystic ovary syndrome - and began growing stubble on her face aged just 11. The hair quickly spread to her chest and arms.Miss Kaur penned the empowering note - which is part of Illamasqua's #LetterToLittleMe campaign - at a time when she was being bullied at school, taunted in the street and wanted to 'end it all'.
'I feel it in your soul that you are struggling and you need some
guidance,' she wrote. 'You quiver at the sight of people, you shudder at
the touch of a stranger, and you drag your lifeless body everywhere
that you go.'
During her early teens, Miss Kaur was so ashamed of her beard that she waxed twice a week, and also tried bleaching and shaving.
'You have no idea of just how many people will be inspired by your
self-love, your strength, your self-empowerment,' she wrote to herself
after so many years of bullying and now coming to love hers
