Fuck, there are hairs on my chin!!!

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!!!!

during a role play my happy thoughts were shattered as he exclaimed "ooh stubbly" while tipping my chin back to clear my airway 😨

Did he enjoy the role play for dealing with testicular injuries ?

@Katherinejanaway wait until you find a pure white pube! It happens younger than you might thinking!
@Bisforbert what a rude bloke! I hope you gave him a swift abdominal thrust!

My first white pube arrived in my twenties. I thought it was blond until I pulled it out and realised it was so wiry that I could pick locks with it. Not impressed at all. Also, I didn't think this would be my first message if the dayGrin

I once started a thread called 'Menopause stole my eyebrows' and a lovely helpful mumsnetter said don't panic I know where they are: they've started a cluster commune on your chin.

DonnaDarko · 08/03/2020 07:50

I get loads on my chin and even down my neck. I've been using boots hair removal cream weekly for over a decade now.

I WISH I only had 2!

lightlypoached · 08/03/2020 07:50

@pussycatinboots I actually have a single pube that grows out of my lower thigh, just above the knee. Just the one. Proper curly it is.

lightlypoached · 08/03/2020 07:52

@halfsoaked that's impressive. Grin

Feelingfestivenow · 08/03/2020 08:02

I have a special pair of ninja tweezers for the long, white tree that grows under my chin on the left hand side, it actually leaves a visible hole when plucked......

surlycurly · 08/03/2020 08:19

@Feelingfestivenow do you feel literally and metaphorically lighter when it's gone?

OP posts:
Feelingfestivenow · 08/03/2020 08:26

Absuloutly!

Then look forward (very odd) to that feeling of it sprouting back and getting a hold of the root to pull it out.

Along with 2 jet black hairs on my arm that are huge and stick outlike a sore thumb (I am very fair)

Must say Im glad Im not alone...

WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles · 08/03/2020 08:36

DH woke me up the other night to tell me he had found a long white hair growing out the middle of his chest. He asked me where it came from Hmm I love my DH but I nearly brained him Grin

I have alopecia but a little patch of skin on my right cheek feels sorry for me and tries to make it up to me. I'm not grateful.

fiddledefiddle · 08/03/2020 08:59

I have found my people.

Why do I have white chin hairs, white curly eyebrows sticking out from the ginger ones but then a clump of black hairs under my chin?

Feelingfestivenow · 08/03/2020 09:53

May I also add knees, hairs behind my knees!

fiddledefiddle, your sound the same as mine

KatherineJaneway · 08/03/2020 12:09

@lilgreen

Hadn't thought about that Shock

fiddledefiddle · 08/03/2020 13:19

I have hairs above the back of my knees - long, course black ones. I'm a redhead so wtf are the black?

Also, why is my previously poker straight hair now more like Bonnie Langford's when she was a child.

eaglebay · 08/03/2020 13:30

This thread has had me laughing!

I've had dark chin hairs since mid-20s 😭 Pluck, repeat, pluck, repeat.

WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles · 08/03/2020 13:53

Is it me? How do you see the backs of your own knees?

Maybe I should do some yoga. Now I'm worried I have a forest growing behind my knees and I just don't know it Shock

diamonddandelions · 08/03/2020 14:41

Stick your leg out diagonally sideways and look down to the left/right.

Dard · 08/03/2020 16:04

Oh God because it was light this morning took 20 minutes to pluck,mixture of black, thick white ones and really long wins that I have missed they will be back tomm:(

Luunaa · 08/03/2020 16:06

I've never looked behind my knees. I dare not now, I already have enough hairy bits to worry about!

Boobs is the worst.

dementedma · 08/03/2020 16:12

White chin hairs now, to match the pubes!
I have discovered dermaplaning for the face fuzz.

dementedma · 08/03/2020 16:20

And my first white eyelash! What the ACTUAL fuck??? I didn’t even know that was a thing!!!

WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles · 08/03/2020 17:07

"Stick your leg out diagonally sideways and look down to the left/right."

I can't, I'm too afraid Grin I'm sure DH would have told me if there was hair behind my knee

lilgreen · 08/03/2020 18:00

My sister was a beauty therapist. She told me most women have long dark hairs on the back of their thigh and she would whip them off during a bikini wax if they wanted.
