The actress, who was 25 when the first film premiered in 2015, explained that her character Anastasia Steele was supposed to have never waxed, so she decided to let nature take its course. When asked whether a fake covering was ever considered, Johnson gave a simple \u201cNo,\u201d making it clear she preferred authenticity for the role. While most people will never need to make that choice for a movie, the decision to stop shaving can bring some everyday changes too. For anyone who regularly deals with razor bumps, irritation or painful ingrown hairs, putting down the razor may offer some relief. Shaving repeatedly can irritate sensitive skin, particularly when a razor is dull or the same area is shaved again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There can also be practical benefits to leaving pubic hair alone, including saving time and spending less on razors and other grooming products. Some people experience fewer ingrown hairs because the hair is no longer being cut sharply at the skin&#8217;s surface, while others notice less itching and irritation during regrowth. Pubic hair itself is not dirty or a sign of poor hygiene, and there is no medical requirement to remove it to remain clean. Regular washing of the external genital area is what matters for hygiene, regardless of whether someone chooses to shave, trim or leave their hair natural. Repeated irritation from shaving can also contribute to temporary skin discoloration in people who are prone to pigmentation changes, although natural differences in skin tone are completely normal. Ultimately, there is no single correct grooming choice. Whether someone prefers a completely smooth look, a neatly trimmed style or natural body hair, comfort and personal preference are what matter most.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dakota Johnson recently surprised fans by revealing just how far she went for her role in Fifty Shades of Grey, admitting that she grew out her pubic&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":57895,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57891","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"views":49,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57891","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=57891"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57891\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57896,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57891\/revisions\/57896"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/57895"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=57891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=57891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=57891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
