Question about Hair Color

I was having a discussion with a friend about men who have mostly white hair or all white hair on their head. If a man is this white, will he always be white or all white down under?

I assumed it might be impossible for him to be all original color southside if he is that white on his head. Comments?

This is funny because I mentioned this to Dh the other night.

I would assume if a man is all white on the head, he may be down below, too, but more than likely, he's just graying down there. I have never seen a very old person's pubic area, but I'm sure that ALL the hair on their body goes gray or white at some point.

If that were true, then it would follow that men who are bald also have no body hair, correct?

We know THAT'S not true, and body hair is not necessarily the same color as the hair on the head. When a man gets into his 70's and 80's, it's a pretty safe bet that all his hair will be white....but there are no rules. Younger men who have NO gray or white hair can grow a beard that has LOTS of gray in it.

There are also men who shave their pubes.....so it would be a guess what color they would have.

I work in a nursing home, so I have seen more than enough older people's privates to know. While some people's stay their original color, most lighten up to a light blonde/white color. Also, alot of people thin out down there, and have only a few sparse strands to worry about the color. Hope that answers the question without being too graphic.
