How the fuck are you meant to deal with them ? They grow at a massive speed!! 3 x a week im plucking the bastards out. I’m 34 and frankly this is ridiculous. it’s going to get worse and honestly I cba dealing with them but I will become the bearded lady if I don’t pluck them out and don’t even get me started on the lip hairs!

These are good for chin and other facial hairs

The key for me is to do it regularly. I also have started carrying a small pair of tweezers in my bag.

I would be tempted to use my Lumea on them but I don't think that would be effective if I am also plucking.

Your menfolk of a certain age will see your chin hairs and raise you: nose hairs and ear hairs, keeping male pattern baldness up our sleeves for the next hand.

I had electrolysis on mine for about a year and in that time they gradually grew less then stopped growing in completely. This was after I had my 1st child 22 years ago and touch wood I've had nothing grow back since, so I'd really recommend it.

I have had this problem for years ie 40 years!! I don’t have PCOS but some random genes have bullied me for years!
I tried electrolysis but now I just ensure I have a mirror and tweezers in the car to pluck away when out and about 😭

It’s bloody awful isn’t it?? When I was 17 in sixth form this guy who I vaguely knew literally pulled my one chin hair out in front of all my friends with his nails. I nearly died inside

I am a chin plucker nothing better than pulling them all out

I found it was making the skin on my chin 'lumpy & bumpy'

Yes! I have car tweezers now as I’m driving along and find another fucking hair!! It’s the really thick ones too. I can’t laser them off because I’m ginger and it doesn’t work on my hair sadly but I could try threading however I’m such a coward when it comes to pain! I can cope with eyebrow threading and lip hair is a step above! Why does it hurt so much??

It does hurt! But it's only seconds & it's SO good to be minus the grey shadow above the corners of my mouth.

I hear you.

I'm 56 and I've gone from plucking every few days to sometimes plucking twice a day.

I pull one hair and then a few hours later, a mini hairy housing estate appears in its place.

SummerFrog25 · 31/08/2025 00:59

Salon down the road about every 4 weeks (with underarms) I tweezer any that annoy me inbetween unless it's only a few days until my next appointment, I hope they stop growing soon! I'm 56 & they have migrated from the south to the north!

Upper lip I get threaded every couple of weeks. Chin I get waxed every now and then but that's mainly to get rid of the overall 'peach fuzz' which no one else but me notices.

But yes the random thick chin hairs are insane. One minute my chin is smooth yet suddenly the next day I'm plucking out a long dark spiky hair that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It's very satisfying to pluck out but I agree, it's gonna get worse with age and I don't know what I will do!

Yeah I hear you. PCOS is a bitch.
