A woman previously known as “The World’s Hairiest Girl” now consistently shaves the excess hair off her body as she poses in loved-up photos with her new partner.
Supatra “Natty” Susuphan, now 23, has an extremely rare genetic condition called Ambras Syndrome, also known as Werewolf Syndrome, which is a kind of hypertrichosis which leads to excess growth of body hair.
Thick hair naturally grows on her face, ears, arms, legs and back as a result of the genetic condition, which has affected only around 50 people worldwide since the Middle Ages.
The Guinness World Records officially gave Susuphan the title of world’s hairiest girl in 2010.
Undergoing laser treatment did not stop Susuphan’s excessive hair growth and she now shaves all over her body.
While Susuphan has been open about some the names she was called at school – including Wolf Girl and Chewbacca – her friends and family have always supported her.

She previously told the Guinness World Records: “I don’t feel any different to anyone else, and I’ve got lots of friends at school… Being hairy makes me special. There were a few people who used to tease me and call me monkey face but they don’t do it any more.
“I’m very used to this condition. I can’t feel the hair as it has always been like this. I don’t feel anything. It does sometimes make it difficult to see when it gets long. I hope I will be cured one day.”

However, the condition certainly has not impacted her love life.
In 2018, multiple outlets including Metro and the Daily Mail reported that Susuphan had recently married the “love of her life” – but she now appears to have a new partner.
The then teen reportedly took to social media in 2018 to share some sweet words about her husband (who she appears to have since separated from). “You’re not just my first love, you’re the love of my life,” she is said to have penned at the time.
The young woman from Bangkok, Thailand, has been posting photos of her hair-free face on Facebook for years now as well as pictures of her with the new love of her life.
In December 2022, Susuphan shared a five-month anniversary post, including photos of her (sans facial hair) with her new partner Suchada Poonlumpao.
In the lead up to this post, Susuphan had shared a number of sweet photos and videos of her and Poonlumpao lovingly posing together.
Poonlumpao has also posted several romantic snaps on Facebook.
It is not known how the pair met and the circumstances surrounding Susuphan’s split from her previous partner. The new couple are in a “domestic partnership”, according to both their Facebook profiles.
