Tweezing. It's a little time-consuming and can be painful, but tweezing your pubes is a low-risk way to get rid of stray curlies along the bikini line. According to Dr. White, this method plucks hair out at the root without irritating the skin (the way waxing or a depilatory can).

Some people experience more pubic hair loss with age than others — most likely caused by a mix of genetics and underlying medical conditions. One more thing to know: Significant graying of pubic hair is uncommon before age 50.
How often you shave depends on your genetics and your preferred end result. In general, we recommend shaving every two to three days if you want a clean shave; three to five days if you want to simply style or trim; and if you want to just let your hair grow, then simply stop shaving.
Shave and Trim
