Styling
See also: Bikini waxingTrimming or completely removing pubic hair has become a custom in some cultures. In Islamic societies, for example, removing pubic hair is a religiously endorsed practice under the Sunan al-Fitra. The method of removing hair is called depilation (when removing only the hair above the skin) or epilation (when removing the entire hair). Beauty salons often offer various waxing services. It is sometimes referred to as "pubic topiary".
It is unusual for pubic hair to be dyed or painted, except incidentally to bodypainting. Concerns have been raised about the safety of using regular hair dye for this purpose, but dyes have been formulated for use on pubic hair. This is sometimes done to enable a woman to match her pubic hair to the (dyed) hair on her head, or in whimsical colours.

Famous quotes containing the word styling:
“Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
