Chin hair

[waitrosequeue]

Anyone seeing how much they can get away with without removing those dreaded chin hairs

No! I hate them and spend my evenings running my hands over my face as I watch TV. If I find one I run up stairs and shine a good strong torch over my chin to locate it and pluck it! I have a regular just sticking out of my skin, stubble but too small to get. I’m waiting!

I had some thick black chin hairs zapped with IPL. Worked really well. Now I’m older I’ve got fluffy blonde peach fuzz instead and immac it usually. Being a bit lazy at the moment 😁

CatsMother, I do exactly that, though I have an angle poise lamp aimed at a 10x zoom mirror waiting.

It's so infuriating when they're a tiny bit too short, and so brilliant when they're not.

Also like catsmother. And of course, once you've got it out you have to stab yourself on the hand with it ....

hello, oooohhhh.

No I cant leave them I am too obsessed!

I also have odd eyebrow hairs that i swear grow several inches over night

I let mine grown for the first 2 weeks of lockdown, then sat in front of a well lit mirror, and plucked them all out onto a piece of white paper. Was very satisfying to see the little pile at the end.

@hellolittlebaby Yes! I have to stab my hand to prove how strong they are!!

I had ignored a few. Then I looked in the good mirror and had to crack put the facial epilator. It was horrendous.

No it would annoy me too much. Once i feel one i can't rest til I've got the epilator/tweezers out.

@hellolittlebaby oh, god, I thought I was the only one who did this!

I'd never have mine zapped - I enjoy pulling them out too much.

If you really want to test its mettle you stab your lip with it. would never wax them, far too satisfying to pluck. There's a video on youtube of someone plucking a guys stubble. It's really calming to watch actually 😂

Thought I was the only one with the lamp and the magnifying mirror

I am obsessed with top lip hair , i put veet cream hair remover on and actually love watching all the little hairs gradually come to the top of the cream( you know when you see all the dark hairs) haha .

I use the springy thing on mine, but I've let it lapse instead of doing it every day, & then it occurred to me that when I go out I could wear a mask 'for health reasons' & no-one would know.

Oooh face pube hair! 😒 If I let them grown out enough I'd probably sport a rather fetching beard. I tend to pluck with my nails and work on any I find as and when. I'm unsure what to do when they decide to spread out to join my nipple hair and eyebrows. I think I'll finally opt for a throat threading when salons reopen... Always been a bit too scared before now.

Do the springy things actually work? Do you need some form of technical expertise to use them or just roll it on your skin?

Lalala205, it's easy, though it took me a while to get the courage to try, as I didn't understand what to do. You need to bend it into a U shape & roll it over the skin. Look for videos on youtube. For the money (about a pound, though that goes up a lot if you try to buy more than one), it's brilliant. It doesn't pick up longer hairs, though, so if you don't do it for a while you'll need tweezers.

Whats worse than chin hair? Coarse grey chin hair!!! I could honestly grow a fantastic goatee most men would be proud of! It’s a full time job keeping on top of it 😕

I'm constantly feeling my chin to check new hairs, I now have tweezers all over the house and when I feel one I have to get it straight away. My best plucking spot is in the downstairs loo as it has the best light. The satisfaction when you pluck a really stubborn one is amazing. Mine are like cheese wire and I joke to my sister that I could strangle someone with one if I grew it long enough. I get a couple coming through on my neck now.

@CatsMother66 - Ha, ha - me too, just dashed away in an ad break to attend to it!
