There are actually good technical reasons why many people prefer skins to not have pubic hair or eyebrows painted into the texture. If there's no painted hair there, then you have a lot more freedom to apply a variety of props or transparency maps to get whatever general shape or color you want. It's not so much the bareness fetish as how that particular couple of regions are very individual, and a lot of buyers ask for that.
Dimension3D posted a very clear and coherent tutorial that explained exactly how to use trans mapped hair with Blender node, but unfortunately it has aged off the forum - I still have a copy of the tutorial if you are interested.
