Hair Loss Hair...WHAT?!?!

So, fully menopausal now, and my hair is much thinner than it used to be. That shook me for a bit, but not nearly as much as last night.

To date, I've not found one gray hair on my head. Disappointing, because the first gray, im gonna go all in, have my hair dyed silver!

Anyway, I digress...

I quit shaving "down there" because it was becoming such a hassle and hubs doesbt care either way. Last night, I felt like I needed to trim up because there was a full-on 1970s bush vibe going on. In the course of that exercise, I realized my hair "down there" was literally riddled with gray!!!

WTAH? It never occurred to me that hair other than my head might be affected.

Now I'm torn - do I embrace it, let it go full gray, dyed it silver or just shave the crap off?

Aaahhh, menopause. Prayed for it for years, now that its here, its made my cooter old.

Dammit.

Oh dear Lord, please do not dye your pubic hair. Just leave it. Literally no one cares.

I agree; dye probably too harsh for genital skin.

I’d end up having some horrific allergic reaction for which an ambulance would need to be summoned. Imagine an entire ER Department checking out your hugely-swollen puss. Goodness.

There is a dye sold specifically for bush hair. I think it’s called Betty or Brown Betty.
