Hope this hasn’t been covered a hundred times before, but I’ve been told that you can tell the color of someone’s hair “down there” by looking at their eyebrows. So far I’ve found this to be true. So, barring any dye jobs or baldness (in either location), is there anyone any of you have seen that this does NOT apply to? And **YES** , I’m the kind of guy who’d check out a woman’s eyebrows, just out of curiosity… 😉 ---

My eyebrows are pale blonde, almost invisible. Hair on my head is light brown, a littel lighter in the summer time if I get enough sun, was blonde when I was a kid. Pubic hair - dark brown, nearly black. The rest of the hair: arm and leg hair even paler than the eyebrows, except around my ankles where it gets much darker (I shave that area most often!) Underarm hair - black as coal. ---

Eyebrows: Medium brown, the tips start to go blond Hair color: (natural, that is) brownish-auburn “That hair”: Dark brown, with red highlights Arms & Legs: ranges from med. brown to very dark none of it matches up… I must be a patchwork kind of gal. ---

Oh finally…a thread near and dear to my… well… ahem… Well, all I know is that my naturally hair color on my head is dark, dark brown. However… my pubes and my eyebrows are naturally dark blonde. What is up with that!!! ---

I had a redheaded friend who would always complain about people asking her if the “carpet matched the curtains”…to this the answer according to her is yes, it does. I just called my sister, who is blonde, and asked her. She said: “My eyebrows are a shade darker than my hair. My ‘carpet’ is a shade darker than my eyebrows.” As for me, I have dark brown eyebrows which match my carpet AND my curtains. ---

All my hair is the same color. But last time I checked, my eyebrows weren’t made of small curly hair. 😛 ---

Hair: formerly blond, got real dark after pregnancy. Now it’s dark blonde. Eyebrows: blonde to light brown. When I go to wax them, they say “Why bother?” because they don’t show Netherhair: Brown. Has always been, even when my hair was blonder. Also, a bizarro fact: it ain’t curly. It’s straight. Go figure. ---

Had a friend who had light golden blonde hair and very dark eyebrows, completely natural. No, I don’t know what color her “netherhair” (love that term, btw) was !! My hair also darkened considerably after pregnancy and, uh, everything matches now, for the most part 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > Had a friend who had light golden blonde hair and very dark eyebrows, completely natural. No, I don’t know what color her “netherhair” (love that term, btw) was !! My hair (that’s ALL my hair) is a little darker than that - it’s a sort of dark blond/light brown color with kind of a red cast - but my eyebrows are very dark, almost black. (They’re also quite thick and look kind of out of place on my otherwise Western Europeanish face.) So no, that doesn’t work on me either. ---

Speaking of bald ‘down there’, do any men shave there? If so, how do you shave your sack? ---

:rolleyes: Anyway, Hair on Head: light blonde. Hair on Brow: medium blonde. Hair on Arms: light blonde but close to non-existence. Cookie Hair: Non-existent, but a medium blonde if allowed to exist. Hair on Legs: medium to dark blonde. Most of my exposed hairs get bleached by the sun but even while my eyebrows will lighten, they’ll always remain a shade or two darker than my head hair and about the same as my pubes. ---

> [@](#): > > **Speaking of bald ‘down there’, do any men shave there? If so, how do you shave your sack?** I used to do it for hygiene. As for shaving the sack, all you do it wet it down to get the sack stiff, then shave _slowly._ For more info, go here: [Shaving pubic hair](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=16264) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pubic-hair-eyebrows/23006.md?page=2)
