It had to happen eventually. After years of being banished to the back corner, pubic hair is making a comeback (we know it's true—Salon says so!). And not just the racing stripe, either.

No ladies (and gentlemens), the new pubic stylings we're all about to become accustomed to is like nothing we've ever seen before. Not a big, untamed bush; not an itty bitty racing stripe; but something inbetween—a, uh, "dorito" of pubic hair, if you will:

"Absolutely," agrees April Barton, stylist extraordinaire and owner of Suite 303, the salon in New York's notorious Chelsea Hotel. "The new rule of thumb is: When you lift your leg, there shouldn't be any hair below the crease. Keep it clean in the back. And in the front, trim the hair right before its natural curl." She likens the look to a more trimmed, 21st-century version of '70s pubes: the tailored bush.

It sounds so familiar... we're sure we've seen that look somewhere recently. In fact—hey, wasn't that what Sasha Grey was rocking in "Stoya Sexy Hot"?

We always knew she was a groundbreaker.
