This Body Positivity Model's Beard Just Broke A Guinness World Record

"Jokes on my bullies."

A 25-year-old Sikh model who campaigns for body positivity officially has a better beard than you.

Harnaam Kaur has polycystic ovary syndrome, a hormonal condition that causes her to grow excess facial hair.

After being bullied her whole life and enduring painful wax treatments three times a week, she learned to embrace her facial hair and use it to make a statement about body positivity. Since then, her full beard has landed her a gig with Urban Bridesmaid Photography and even a spot on the catwalk at the Marianna Harutunian Royal Fashion Day show, which took place in February.

This week, she was named by the The Guinness Book of Records as the youngest woman in the world to have a full beard.

"I can now proudly announce that I am a Guiness world record book holder!" Kaur wrote on Instagram.

"I am super proud to hold this record, the inner child in me is so pleased. I grew up reading this book, I even tried breaking some of my own records wanting to be in this book. It is amazing to be valued and celebrated being a Bearded Lady. I am proud to hold this amazing record ?"

Kaur said she hopes her new title inspires others to feel good about living in their own skin.

"I hope those who read or see my record can take away positivity, inspiration and realise that no matter who you are or what you look like, you are officially amazing!" she wrote.

After her catwalk debut in February, Kaur took to Instagram again to promote body positivity.

"I grew up watching America's next top model, and i admired @tyrabanks whole heartedly. I always wanted to be like the pretty models, so i remember copying the way they posed and walked. I grew up being told i was to fat, ugly, and disgusting to even model. I was told i'd never walk the runway," she said.
