The curtains gotta match the carpet

"I found a gray hair...in my hair...down there." -Samantha Jones, Sex and the City

It has plagued women for centuries. You start to go gray on top? No big deal. If it bothers you, you dye it. But you start to go gray down below? Where do you turn? What do you do? Who can you possibly risk telling?

Also, many blondes do a little cheating up top, but what, are you going to take your hairstylist aside and ask him if he does any under-the-table treatments? Marilyn Monroe knew your pain. The curtains gotta match the carpet.

Marilyn Monroe and Jean Harlow apparently both took care of business down there, according to David Bret in his Clark Gable biography, Clark Gable: Tormented Star:

"Like Jean Harlow, she bleached her pubic hair and never wore panties."

Bleach?? Uh oh. You don't want to end up like Samantha: "Bozo the bush!"

You're not alone, and Betty Beauty can help! That's right. Pubic hair dye. There, we said it. We're not going to say it again, because that word makes us uncomfortable, like "moist" and "pianist." You heard us the first time.

Betty of Betty Beauty started her business after seeing women get mysterious little packages from their colorists in Rome.

"My next stop was to ask a gynecologist friend to estimate the percentage of her clients whose hair down there didn't match the hair on their heads. As it turned out, almost no one matched!"..."It was clear women (and even some men!) were desperate for a product like this."

Betty Beauty products come in Auburn, Blonde, Brown, and Fun. "Fun" apparently means pink. But guess what "Malibu" means? Blue. Blue like a robin's egg. Now that would be a surprise! And you'd better get used to the idea of a robin's egg nest; it lasts 4-5 weeks.

In any case, if you have a color conflict of interest you'd like to rectify, get to Betty Beauty, especially if you've been trying crazy products to appropriately decorate the den.
