Bastard chin hairs

You simply go and have a lip and chin wax (the hot wax, not strips) every couple of weeks. It will all be fine then.

Which IPL machine did you get?

Same here! 63.

I haven't had to pluck my eyebrows for years. All the bastard hairs have gone to my chin.

I used facial hair remover every so often and pluck the big buggers.

It's just one of life's little jokes that the need for this facial scrutiny develops just when the eyesight is deteriorating. I have to get my reading glasses on and use the magnifying side of the mirror to see what I am doing.

I just have one small one which my last boyfriend tried to bully me over saying it was disgusting and laughing at me. I keep this little hair unplucked with pride, in an attempt to ward off any similar eejits

Electrolysis is the only permanent hair removal solution unfortunately

I’m 52 and for years I’ve lay in bed at night, plucking away at my lil goatee with a pair of tweezers, it was v satisfying. But then I noticed they were getting thicker and wirier and some are even black, despite my being a natural ginger. So last year I took myself along to a salon to ask about permanent removal. Initially I tried laser treatment but it cost a fortune (£90 a go), hurts like buggery and only works on darker hairs. So I switched to electrolysis which costs £30 every 2-3 weeks. It’ll take about a year before they’re gone and then maybe a few goes a year maintenance. Therapist says there’s no better way to make your chin hairs grow thicker and faster than plucking them, so yay. They are definitely less prolific now, I had my last session last Thursday and as I sit here stroking my chin, I can’t feel any yet so that’s progress. Meanwhile my proper hair is getting finer and thinner at the front, perhaps I should try plucking at that.

Has anyone successfully dealt with chin hair so bad it needs to be shaved every day? Is electrolysis the best option?

You wait till you get to 60.

I no longer need to shave pits or bits, there is nothing left there to worry about, it has all rerouted to my chin!

Tit hairs and areola eyebrows i’m dead 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

My mum sadly has dementia and is in a carehome but we keep on top of her lip/ chin hair
with one of those mini razor things Painless, safe and only takes a minute.She would have HATED it if we let it grow

Any recommendations for really good tweezers? I have been disappointed with the grip and lack of precision on every pair I've tried so far. It would be good to have some that can get the really short hairs when they are just coming through.

I am not sure what I can do with them. I can’t see them as they are grey and barely visible but I know they are there.

I love it. I tweeze every evening while watching tv.

YABU, chin hairs are absolute massive bloody bastards but you are only plucking them three times a week!!! Give it until 45 and you will look back on these days fondly as you get your second favourite pair of tweezers out of your handbag to pluck a spikey little fucker out using the car rear view mirror for the third time in a day.

Absolute shitty arsed wanky fucking bastard chin hairs.

Oh fuck no, I trim the areola hair with scissors. Tweezers are not going anywhere near the tit area.

Yes and I have black hair so they and thick and black

occasionaly I'm out and notice one and am mortified

i pluck them and they seemed to have slowed down

I know! I get my upper lip waxed/threading for the hairs missed lol, it kills my eyes are streaming at the end, i would have it lasered as I am a good candidate apparently. But I have a mole there so they can’t do it, unless I remove it, which is more time money effort.

For your chin i would say a good little epilator pen should help. I have a Braun one but it played up from the start, despite sending it off to be looked at whilst it was under warranty.
But it is battery powered which I regret, because with electrical items I always find chargeable is better.

I get really wiry ones coming out of one spot. They are stiff and bristly. Got so much harder to tweeze out since I’ve been taking collagen!

If you'd rather avoid pain, I use a Finishing Touch Flawless Face, basically a little electric shaver. It doesn't last as long as plucking but it's quick and pain free, plus it's good for peach fuzz.

I was wondering if I mascarared the white ones whether the laser would still work?

I suffered for years with this, my skin was terrible from plucking. Finally bit the bullet and got electrolysis, it's been life changing and I wish I'd done it sooner.

Are they dark? Mine started a year ago at 42, I bought an IPL machine at 43 and they’re gone. I bloody love the machine - I shave my armpits about once a fortnight since using it and legs only need shaving once a week (could go longer but I like them very smooth). Wish I’d bought one years ago but probably couldn’t have justified the cost. Chin hairs pushed my to it.

When I was 14 I was going out with a 22 year old(1986) he just looked at me and said why have you got a beard. Made me totally paranoid. I finished it.
I obviously should have said why are you dating a teenager but to be honest I was more mature than him.

I used to have it waxed but just don't have time. I have a Nair product that takes 2 mins and I find that most convenient for me can use twice a week if I need to or every 5 days. I pluck the odd one out in between.

I thought I looked nice for work today. Made a real effort. Then this evening I took a photo with the flash on and zoomed in and omg there are hairs sprouting from my upper lip that I couldn't see in the mirror this morning. That's my plan for tonight - plucking 😂

Ive used everything over the years, electrolisis, lazer, shaving, plucking, waxing bleaching, epilator. The problem is that none of the so called permanent methods have been permanent and the other methods sometimes work, soemtimes not, I cant always see them, eyesight not great also the hair seems to sit there like a black lump for ages before growing through, Ive got tons of that on my chin now. One minute they're black then they're white, one minute they're white, then they're black. Ive got impressive sideburns too. Horrible moustache.
