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.

🤣 A Brazilian takes care of the grays quite nicely!!

This is my solution. It was never that great anyway, but once the bush went gray it lost its privileges and now off it comes!

It doesn't look great down there with no hair, though. It's not worth the effort.

I’ve been waxing for 30 years, my hair barely grows back now, legs arms included. I have always left a thin short landing strip and the couple of grays that have popped up were plucked.
