I was thinking about the old joke about the curtains not matching the carpet. (If anybody is unfamiliar it means that if the hair is blonde and the pubes are black, she must dye her hair, but I was wondering how true it is. I have never been with a blonde chick who wasn’t shaved down under, but is it really that much of rarety to have different colored hair in different places.
Take me for example. My head hair is usually described auburn or dirty blonde depending on the lighting. My eyebrows are very light blonde, but not white. My beard is bright red.(sort of an average, upon close expection it has hairs from jet Black, to white, to blonde to red, but the overall effect is very red. My armpit hair is totally white and transparent. I have never shaved them, and has a goodly number of 3/4 to 1.5 inch long hairs, but many people have asked if I shave them because upto about 6 inches away they are invisible. My chest hair and gut hair is jet blackand my pubes are a medium brown with a transition area near the belt line.
I know that all hair is translucent, and the color is somewhat dependant on the diameter of the shaft absorbing different amounts of light, but that doesn’t explain all of it.
My hair is reddish brown, down under pure black, matches my eyelashes but not my eyebrows which are brown. The up side of black armpit hair? I never have to use mascara
wolfman, congratulations. You have exactly the same hair color pattern that I do. Just out of curiosity, what is your ethnic background, as that may have some to do with it. I myself am of Scots-Irish, Spanish, and Russian descent, so there’s probably some good mixing of hair-color genes going on there.
We could have some great color patterns happening, if only humans had fur…
