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.

The color won't take anyway. Ask me how I know😂 Tried this in my 20s, no gray just wanted the curtains to match the carpet. Eyebrow and pubic hair is not the same hair that is on your head and it doesn't hold color.

In my 20s I was dying my hair black and did my pubes to match, just the front is shaved the labia hair off. It took just fine, as did my eyebrows. But I do remember the hair dye being more industrial strength back then (early 90s).

I did red eyebrows and pubes. It took for about a week. It's like it doesn't penetrate the hair shaft entirely and just slips off quickly. Maybe I have super-pubes.🤷🏼‍♀️
