Styles
Some people modify their pubic hair as an expression of their style or lifestyle.
-
Natural and untrimmed pubic hair. Extends onto thighs.
-
American wax—hair limited to the bikini area. Also trimmed shorter.
-
French wax—waxing with a "landing strip". Labia are cleared.
-
Full Brazilian or the Sphinx—a full waxing. No hair at all.
Some styles include:
- Natural, Au naturel, Bush
- No trimming and therefore no maintenance.
- Trimmed or cut
- hair length is shortened but not removed or shaped, inner thighs may be shaved
- Triangle
- Hair removed (generally waxed) from the sides to form a triangle so that pubic hair cannot be seen while wearing swimwear. This can range from the very edge of the "bikini line" to up to an inch reduction on either side. Hair length can be from an inch and a half to half an inch.
- Landing Strip, Hitler Moustache, Clitler
- Hair sharply removed from the sides to form a long centered vertical rectangle, hair length about quarter of an inch.
- Brazilian waxing, G-wax
- Pubic hair completely removed except for a very thin remnant, centered, narrow stripe above the vulva approximately an inch in height, and the hair length in the sub-centimeter range.
- Full-Brazilian, Hollywood, Bare, Bald Beaver, Bald eagle, German Wax
- Pubic hair completely removed.
- V-shaped
- Adaptation of the triangle shape with an inner triangle removed, rarely with a top bar remaining ▽.
- Heart, also diamonds, spades, clubs
- The heart shape is an adaptation of the triangle shape with the top shaped into two half circles. The diamond shape has the upper part of the triangle shape cut into an up-pointing triangle instead.
- Arrow
- Mix of the landing strip (upper) and triangle (lower) shapes, possibly also in other directions.
- Pyramid
- An upside-down triangle, the name referring to the cross cut or silhouette of a pyramid.
- Freestyle (flash, star and other symbols, letters)
- These are usually variations of the Brazilian/G-wax, where a design is formed of the pubic hair above completely bare vulva. Stencils for several shapes are available commercially. A controversial Gucci commercial included female pubic hair shaved into a 'G'.
- Dyed hair
- Coloring pubic hair to match hair on the head or to give it a unique look (for example, red—in the shape of a heart).
- Hair extensions, pubic wigs

Famous quotes containing the word styles:
“For the introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperiling the whole state; since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“The gothic is singular in this; one seems easily at home in the renaissance; one is not too strange in the Byzantine; as for the Roman, it is ourselves; and we could walk blindfolded through every chink and cranny of the Greek mind; all these styles seem modern when we come close to them; but the gothic gets away.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“Can we love our children when they are homely, awkward, unkempt, flaunting the styles and friendships we don’t approve of, when they fail to be the best, the brightest, the most accomplished at school or even at home? Can we be there when their world has fallen apart and only we can restore their faith and confidence in life?”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
