As part of its Project Body Hair, empowering [razor brand Billie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/razor-island) made headlines last year for introducing the first-ever razor campaign to actually depict body hair. Now, Billie is introducing an all-new campaign that sets itself as the first to show pubic hair, which is still largely seen as taboo.

The [body hair-normalizing campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doves-super-bowl-ad) called 'Red, White, and You Do You' boasts a Fourth of July summer theme with models in patriotic red, white, blue and striped swimsuits. According to Billie co-founder Georgina Gooley, "If we’re not acknowledging body hair exists, it’s a form of [body shaming](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/you-are-amazing)."

With its razor ads, Billie is on a mission to spark conversations about the messages and expectations that conventional razor brands have been putting on women for years.
