In the victorian time and earlier women did not 'dehair' themselves, of course much of it was hidden under clothes, but still it wasn't a thing. Who really cares one way or the other. Also the general woman and the 'nice' ladies didn't wear makeup either, they just went au natural.

My rebellious stage at uni was being counter to all the counter culture kids and I'd wear Victorian clothes, corset lace up boots and not sexy steam punk I mean literally a corset under a corset cover and a shirtwaist and petticoats and then a skirt and stockings and boots etc. I got many stares and sometimes people would even be shocked, people are afraid of difference, but that is just part of the human condition of survival. watch a flock of sheep, if one sticks out, it gets eaten, so humans still have that mentality.
