How to shave pubic hair? Why do humans have it at all? We’ve got answers to these and many other questions in this article by Flo.
There are several theories about pubic hair’s purpose:
Regardless of these theories, the choice of what to do with your pubic hair (if anything!) is completely up to you.

Pubic hair color stands alone and doesn’t depend on the color of the hair on your head.
The color is determined by the amount of melanin (a pigment substance) in each hair, which can be different because the amount of melanin is different in different parts of your body.
In most cases, the color of your pubic hair is closest to the natural color of your eyebrows.
Throughout life, the melanin in your body decreases. This makes hair lighter and eventually grows gray, both on the head and in the pubic area.
Hair follicles go through three growth phases.
The first phase, known as the anagen phase, is responsible for hair length. The length of the anagen phase is based on genetics, but it can also be affected by hormones and stress levels. The anagen phase lasts between three and five years for head hair and a couple of weeks for pubic hair.
The longer the anagen phase, the longer the hair grows.
Hair around the anus is absolutely normal.
The distribution of hair, including on the genitals, is often due to genetics.
Scientists still aren’t completely sure why anus hair grows. One popular theory is that the hair helps keep your smell around, which, in turn, attracts potential partners.
According to another theory, the hair softens friction and prevents irritation.
Shaving is the most popular way to remove pubic hair. It's simple and fast. However, this method has some drawbacks: its effect is short lived and it can cause irritation, ingrown hairs, and rashes.
To make the shaving process more effective and minimize irritation, first exfoliate your skin with a scrub. Use creams with natural moisturizing elements (e.g., aloe). Don’t use anyone else’s razor, and shave the hair in the direction of its growth. Finish up by rubbing your skin with an ice cube to close pores. Then, in half an hour, moisturize with a lotion.
By the way, it’s a total myth that hair grows back longer or thicker after shaving.
People have been removing the hair from their body for centuries.
Ancient Egyptians considered having pubic hair indecent, so they invented sugaring and waxing.
In ancient Rome, a hairless pubis was a status symbol.
Pumice, tweezers, and a special depilatory cream consisting of resin, goat bile, viper venom powder, and bat blood were used to achieve smoothness. Pubic hair trimming was not in fashion in Europe until the late 1900s.
In America, the first waxing salon opened in 1987. The technique gained popularity and is referred to as Brazilian waxing.
If you’re unsure how to get rid of pubic hair, remember that it’s completely optional. It’s natural to have pubic hair. If you want to remove it, there are lots of methods you can try. Find the one that suits you best.
The short answer is no, it is not necessary to do anything to your pubic hair. Shaving your pubic hair is a personal choice.
Pubic hair may help protect your genitalia from infection and friction. Removing your pubic hair comes with the risk of getting cuts or ingrown hairs. You might also develop hyperpigmentation and inflammation of the hair follicles.
Removing your pubic hair can also increase your risk of catching herpes and other sexually transmitted diseases. This is because the sensitive pubis is left with small cuts where viruses and bacteria can get into your skin.
You can use a hair removal cream around your bikini line, but make sure that the cream doesn’t get into your genital area.
Hair removal creams are easy to apply and break down the chemical bonds of the hair. This makes the hair very weak, and it can be easily scraped off.
Plucking or epilation removes the hair from its root beneath the surface of the skin.
Plucking your pubic hair can be painful and takes a long time. Plucking can cause redness, swelling, itching, irritation, and damage to the skin. It can also result in ingrown hairs (where the hair curls backward or sideways under the skin) and infection.
Yes, it is normal to have a lot of hair around your vagina.
Hair on the vulva and around the scrotum is normal. Everyone has pubic hair around their genitals, and it starts growing during puberty.
Pubic hair helps prevent dirt and bacteria from entering the vagina.
Pubic hair can be made smooth by conditioning.
There are several moisturizers, oils, shampoos, and hair conditioners that can help condition and soften your pubic hair. A home mixture of shaved cucumber, coconut oil, and lychee might also help soften your pubic hair, or you can use argan oil.
Drinking plenty of water and keeping yourself hydrated can also help your hair stay smooth.
Thinking about your skin type, hair growth, and hair texture can help you decide if waxing or shaving is better for you.
If your skin is very sensitive, then waxing can be very painful. Waxing can cause rashes and aggravate your skin. Shaving is quick and pain free. Ultimately, it’s a matter of personal choice.
Armpit hair is also known as axillary hair and grows in the underarm area. Pubic hair is darker and thicker body hair that grows in your genital region.
There is no need to wash your pubic hair with shampoo. Using shampoos, soaps, or perfumes can disrupt the pH of your vagina and cause irritation and other problems. Washing your pubic hair with warm water is enough to keep the area clean. If you want to use a shampoo or soap, look for pH-balanced pubic washes to clean your pubic hair.
Here are some tips to prevent razor bumps when removing pubic hair.
For most people, a bit of stubble begins to grow back after a few days. Shaving does not remove the hair from the root; it cuts hair close to the skin’s surface.

You might have heard those old school phrases about hair like “blondes have more fun,” but did you ever wonder if they actually do? You hair color can say a lot about your personality . It can say even more about sexual personality.
Now I am a redhead, and have been (in some iteration or another) since I was 15, but it is far from my natural blonde hair color. I connect much more with the personality traits of a natural redhead than I do a blonde. While I’m sure the studies connecting hair color to personality are talking about subjects’ natural color rather than a dye job, I think it’s fair to say the color you choose to dye your hair has an effect on your personality as well.
Most know that natural redheads are rare, making up only two to six percent of the U.S. population, but what is not so commonly known is they tend to have more sex. A study conducted by Werner Habermehl, Ph.D., from the Hamburg Research Institute in Germany looked at hundreds of German women’s sex lives in conjunction with their hair color. It found that the redheaded women were much more sexually active than their blond and brunette counterparts. “The research shows that the fiery redhead certainly lives up to her reputation,” said Professor Habermehl to Everyday Health.
Redheads are often considered sexy and desirable. According to Psychology Today , the reason behind this is not cut and dry, but it likely has to do with how rare they are. People tend to be attracted to hot commodities, and natural redheads are certainly that. Red hair is also a sign of youth and fertility, because it’s the opposite of gray hair (which signifies to men that a woman can no longer bear children). It’s also bold and attention grabbing, which is why many people assume redheads are fiery (although there’s no scientific evidence to back that up).
Brunettes are often seen as hard-working, smart and trustworthy. Sixty-seven percent of female CEOs said they would hire a brunette over any other hair color. According to the Daily Mail, this stereotype is so embedded in our society that 31 percent of natural blondes dye their hair brown in order to get ahead at work. A quarter of those women said they were actually given a promotion post hair color change.
Brunettes are usually more reserved in the bedroom — less than half of the brunettes polled in a survey of 2,500 said they’ve had a one-night stand. However, while they may be more reserved in choosing a partner, once they engage in sex, they seem to surpass the rest. According to a 2013 study, 58 percent of people say brunettes are better in bed . So even though redheads are jumping in the sack more, brunettes are apparently outperforming them.
Men also seem to find brunettes overall the most attractive. The University of Westminster in the U.K. conducted a study where they monitored the male attention a fair-skinned woman received while sporting blond, brunette and red hair colors. While her blond color attracted the most attention, the men once further poled, divulged they were most into her as a brunette.
Blond is the most coveted hair color among women, because the lighter hue is often associated with youth and beauty. Again, the reason for this is not straightforward, but scientists assume it’s because blondes tend to have higher levels of estrogen in their bodies. This in turn makes them look overall more feminine , and thus more attractive to men. According to The Guardian , these higher est
