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!!!!

Started getting mine in my 30s and in the last few years they seem to be appearing at an alarming rate. I pluck the little bastards in the evening and lo and behold next morning a few more have sprung up. They are like cheese wire , I now have tweezers in every bathroom, car , handbag and dressing gown pocket. OH loves to say not by the hair on my chinny chin chin when he catches me plucking.

Have you had the 5cm eye brows yet ?

And men can grow beards quite happily with no worries even if they have nothing on the top of their feckin heads!

But if a woman grew a beard, oh my.

I just shave underneath my chin now every morning. And bring a razor with me wherever I go. I don't care, tried everything, but it is a thing for many women, so I just get on with it. Takes five seconds or so. Sorted.

I get one it's like a broomhandle and always gives me a spot the bristly fucker

I’m 31 and have a rogue one on my chin. My makeup routine has been long forgotten since I went on maternity leave and sometimes I forget about it until it reaches Fu Manchu lengths.

Wait until you’re dealing with nipple hair op. Those fuckers are anchored in.

What about the eyebrow hairs that are like long curly wire? Hard to be on fleek with them I tell you.

Try being Indian and having pcos - I have had them since I was 8 and they have gotten progressive darker ever since.

Tweezers in the car. My best friend. I always notice the fuckers when I glance in the rearview mirror.

I'm now terrified that my eyesight is just so fucking bad that I can't see them. I'm 52 & not had any chin ones. My face is, however, fuzzy & I have more fuzz as a moustache. But it's very blonde & fine.

Tit hair though - not even on my nipple, but a few cms away & I didn't notice it until it was about 2 inches long. I keep checking my tits now, but only plucked it once.

Do I need to enlist a hair checker? I don't have a DP and I really don't think I should traumatise my DS by checking my chin.

Also, I've suddenly sprouted skin tags on my neck. I now try to sit with my chin pointing to the ceiling to avoid the fat folds.

I've given up on white pubes.

No one warns you about this! Mine started late 20s. My DH thought he was being helpful once by attempting to pluck one out for me as he saw it sparkling in the sunlight while he was driving. I was mortified and didn't speak to him for an hour after getting his hand off the wiry bugger. I realise now it wasn't his fault! Since then...tweezers everywhere.

I wax my chin once a week. Hot wax works best. It doesn’t hurt anymore.

I also check my face when driving, primarily because the light is best outside.

Best light is always in the car, but it is always lopsided light. I get a very fine hair growing out of my cheek - often about 3 cm before I notice it. So satisfying when I track it down.

I got a simplehuman 10x magnification mirror for Christmas, and it is awesome. Not just for hairs, but pores too. So far it is the only thing that has prompted me into a proper cleansing routine.

I haven't read all the replies, but this could be a possible symptom of PCOS x

This thread is comedy gold. Cackling under the duvet I am. I epilate my chin hairs. They come back thin but have yet to completely disappear.

Stop. I’d never leave the bath room. DH would have to bring me trays of dry bread and soup while I sat for 16 hours a day squeezing every blackhead and plucking every stray hair under the mega mirror.

I have got on top of my bristly chinny-chin-chin thanks to a Lumea and have been feeling very pleased with myself.

Only now I have discovered them sprouting on the front of my neck! If they move any lower I shall have to start my own Bee Gees tribute act.

My left eyebrow is a joy to behold. My right eyebrow is somewhat free spirited. Every few weeks 1 hair, reminiscent of an escapee from a brillo pad puts in an appearance. If I don't catch it properly with the tweezers, it curls up on itself, like one of those ribbon ringlets on a present. Still, stops me worrying about my varicose veins I suppose.

OP, the extra thick ones that you can feel even before you can get hold of them with tweezers. They take an age to pull out because they always have a very deep root.
I have a few in my eyebrows and several on my chin.

They sprout so fast and wirey I make sure I have tweezers with me!

A Philips Lumea will do the trick. Kills the hair dead. No more hairs

Have about 6 all near each other on one side of my chin that crop up every week or so, seemingly overnight. They look white but the roots are actually black. All you can do is pluck em.

@pandamoore laser the buggers

With what? One of those nono things? I was considering that.

I just have the one recurring one that I've had since my teens! Plucking it is soooo satisfying though lol

@pandamoore a Philips Lumea. Changed my life. No more shaving my pits. No more random cheek hairs. Bikini line trim and now onto my legs. Smooth as silk
