Fuck, there are hairs on my chin!!!

[surlycurly]

Help... there are two of them. They are about a cm long each. I'm 42. How in the name of suffering fuck did they get there? How did they get to that length with me noticing? They're quite lush, like they've been conditioned. Clearly my moisturiser agrees with them. How is this a thing? I thought I had 30 years or so to go before worrying about this. Can I expect more? Will I end up like cousin IT by the end of the year? Help!!!!

I've been getting them since I was about 26. Count yourself lucky to have been that beardless for so long.

I've had them for years and am 43. I use a JML Flawless to go over them every day. Little fuckers spring up from nowhere, I'll be sitting at work and suddenly feel a bloody car aerial poking out my chin.

Yeah how have you escaped this long?! I have at least ten of the fuckers.

Dear god we're all cursed. I'm not even that hairy (which, to be fair, I've always been rather smug about). A JML flawless you say...

The things that's troubling me is How many people have noticed them though...?

Then l'll huff, and l'll puff and I'll blow your house in!

I'll get my coat.

I’m 39 and I recon I could grow an impressive goatee if i were that way inclined.

Wow you've done well, I've had 2 since my mid 20's and now have one or 2 at the edge of my upper lip that have been there a good few years (I'm just 40) just pluck and think no more for a couple of weeks when they will inevitably return but you can get them as they do now you're aware

You deal with them, they're gone for around 3 days and then before you know it they're caught in the zip of your jacket. Nothing on this beautiful green earth grows like a bloody chin hair. #michellefinegan

Only 2?? Lucky sod, I have an absolute platoon of them!

I’m 40. I’ve had one on my chin for about 10 years, I think. I pluck it out every other week, but the fucker keeps coming back.

I'm 35 and have had them for years. Plucking keeps them away longest but they'll keep coming back. Always in the same place until you get a surprise new one that manages to grow 5 cm or so seemingly overnight and you discover it at the worst time when you can't get rid of it...

I sent my sister a message about mine yesterday...... im 28 and i pulled out 36 dark hairs from under my chin THIRTY SIX!!!

And also a long white one from my cheek, twas about 5cm long

I’ve had 3 persistent little buggers since early 20’s don’t stress too much just pluck them and check every week or 2

Nearly crashed the car the other day when caught sight of myself in the rear view mirror, in a beam of sunlight so strong there were angels singing, and saw there was fuzz all along my jaw and chin. I've been battling the sneaky occasional black chin hair for a while, I've bought implements to tackle the Dennis Healy eyebrows but now there's also FLUFF???

However well conditioned your chin hair is. Don't stroke it. It will become a habit and you'll start doing it at inopportune moments.

I'm sick of the little blighters. Spend my life plucking them out!

I once laughed at "chin wax" on a list of treatments by a beautician in my early 20s, then karma hit me in my 30s. I can't even tell you how many I get coming in now.

I have a weird hair remover from Avon which is like a long spring with two handles so I sit most evenings running that over my chin for a few minutes while watching TV. There are some evil thick fuckers that need the tweezers though, and even worse now is that some of them are coming in white, but they're still super thick so you can feel and see them.

Right be warned, if I get a 5 cm white one then I'm checking in to some kind of clinic. My mental health couldn't cope with that. I'd look like blooming Santa. I've just ordered myself a wee defuzzer and it better get this sorted. And I hadn't even thought to check my neck!!! I could have a hairy cravat and I haven't even noticed.

What's your plan for the FLUFF @MutteringDarkly? 🤔

Asking for a friend! 😉

So, as the username suggests, I have in the recent past been challenged in the follicle department due to alopecia. Things are somewhat better now but when I was in my baldy phase there was one fucker growing out of my chin and I swear it was the only hair on my entire body. It's still there and it's still thick and lush and I like to stroke it on days when it's got long and I haven't got tweezers to hand!

Laser the bloody stuff. I would if I had the money. I may wax the lot if this wee gadget doesn't work. I shall not have a follicle on my face with anything left in it by the time I'm finished. And I'm glad things are better @baldisbeautiful, and that you enjoyed a comforting stroke of the one wee chin hair in the interim x

Yup, I have plenty of the bastards.
You can go down the shave route, or the pluck them out route.
For me, I prefer to pull the buggers out with tweezers and I have tweezers and a mirror at work in case I need them. I don't fancy sporting stubble, so prefer to have a staggered emergence, so to speak.
The tree-trunk like ones are the worst. They hang on until you have pulled them out micrometer by micrometer.
Fun potentially, but annoying all the same.

The thick ones make me sneeze and my eyes water when I pluck them. Possibly nasal hair gone rogue.

@mineofuselessinformation what do you mean the 'tree trunk' ones ??? 😱😱😱
