Carpet and Curtains

Does the carpet match the curtains? It is one the most annoying questions you can ask a woman about her hair, especially when it so obviously means you’re never going to know. But it is definitely a popular question when it comes down to hair questions, and it hits both above and below the belt. While on the flip side, most women don’t ask men that same question, because we realize, unlike the male species, that there’s only one way to find out, it’s still a question that everybody thinks about. Well, everybody thinks about it with the people whose pants we wouldn’t mind getting into or off. Oh, and another annoying question – is that your real hair color? Answer: It’s real for now.

I used to be a flaming red head. All throughout college and way into my twenties, the hair on my head was a shade of reddish purple or bright, bright orange. I occasionally dyed my eyebrows to match, but found that I didn’t like how two tiny dashes of color could completely change the way my face looked. I never dyed the hair down there, sure, I thought about it on occasion, but it’s just so dark, that to do it, would take chemicals, and I don’t have the courage.

Even if I wanted to (and I don’t), it didn’t feel safe, especially since if you’ve ever dyed your hair, or smelled the hair of someone who has, you know, and I know, that that shit stinks, and wouldn’t want it anywhere near something so precious. While the times of stinky hair “doo” are not over, but changing, it now seems safe to dye your pubic region. Yes, after years of research and testing, there’s a new way to go down there without all the worry – and yes, men can do it too.

Her name is Betty, and if you don’t know her, then your pubic hair doesn’t know what it might be missing. Betty is the brainchild of Nancy Jarecki, who, while living in Rome discovered that Italians match better. At the salon she noticed that women who had just dyed their hair would leave with a doggie bag (and a kiss on both cheeks). When she inquired about what was in the bag, she discovered that it was what ladies needed to make a matched set.

Jarecki came back to the United States and began her research. She asked friends who did hair for a living what they thought. She asked a gynecologist to make a note of who matched and who didn’t and found out that hardly any women had the same top to go with their bottom. She spent two years figuring out how to make a product that was safe and wouldn’t stain your panties. And thus Betty was born.

There’s black betty and brown betty, blonde betty and auburn betty and fun betty (in pink) for when you don’t care as much about matching as you do about flare. And even if it doesn’t match the exact eggplant color of your new do, you can still find a way to change up your pubes. Or you can really screw with your fake hair colors and dye your head blonde, and your pubic hair auburn, and see what kind of reaction you get. It could be like a game called “The Real Deal,” and you can leave people guessing about what your “natural” color is.

Personally, if I’m letting you see my pubes, I wouldn’t care if you knew that I dyed the hair on my head, but I don’t dye my hair anymore so it doesn’t matter. Dying your pubic hair is something you might want to do for yourself, for your lover, or for fun, but for me, unless 1) you’re photographing me naked, 2) I’m going to show it off in public, or 3) I go grey, I’ll stick with what I got.
