Chin Hairs FFS

[fandjango]

Why do these pesky hairs seem to hide in plain sight!

Had a scour of my chin before I went away and now i'm here they all seem to have sprouted out of nowhere. Bright mirror lights are showing all of them up!!

Tried to get them out (forgot my tweezers) and they spring back on themselves like christmas ribbon you've scissored. Aaarrgghhh

No one tells you about this stuff!

Every time you go the bathroom check that chinny chin chin! 🤣 It is the only way. Since the little blighters seem to grow a cm in the matter of a few mins.

Leave the downy ones, unless they reach plaiting length. 😉

The shock of my chin hairs after buying a magnifying mirror! I use one of those JML thingies to deal with them and just buzz over them before I put my make up on in the morning. So annoying.

At my hospital we are still in masks.

I swear since the pandemic the frequency of the curly pube like ones, spikey white hairs and those ones you can't see but can feel has decreased so much. Maybe the lack of exposure to light has had a positive impact??
I was a regular waxer and don't have to do that anymore, down to the odd one in my beauty spot.

The stash on the other hand is still there (thanks mum!)

This exactly mine are the same.

They are getting sneaky some are fine and you can’t see them and suddenly they are over half an inch long white, fine and curly and others are sharp and coarse either black or white. I have a pair of tweezers upstairs, a pair downstairs and a pair in my bag because once I detect one I want it gone before it multiplies.

The light up magnifying mirrors are especially good when you start getting long sighted

I've just ordered the zkmagic IPL from Amazon, inspired by this thread. Mine are mostly on the underside of my chin - I've got loads and have since my late 20s. I actually quite like rooting out hairs, especially if they're ingrown, but God, the hours spent doing it, only for there to be a mass of them again by the next day.

Omg yes this is me as well ever since late 20s I've been finding the buggers on my chin some days I'm lucky and go a day or two without them being there and then all of a sudden I catch them in the mirror or when I'm out in natural day light can spot them in car mirror I've taken to carrying tweezers in my car now to do a quick chin sweep before going out.
Must look like a mad woman plucking at my chin.
I also sometimes feel them I hate them so much I joke to my husband that I'll have a bigger beard than him one day and fear I'll become the old bearded woman I have made him promise to not let me become the old grey woman with massive moustache and beard 😬

I had quite a lot of dental surgery recently of course my whole faces swelled up and I could just about put cream on, tweezering was a no go.

So after swelling went down I was laying down and ran my hand across my chin. Good grief, the amount of them there, it was like an explosion as they had been out of check for a week.

Then to find out that my ds had a splinter so had used my good tweezers (which no-one in the house is allowed to touch btw) and then didn't put them back. And you know, once you have the right pair of tweezers, you cannot go back to some old pair that you hoiked out the nail kit....

So I was tweezerless (as of course now they are lost), and hairy. So I went with the epilator.... do you know that didn't even get them all. So I added a now rashed chin on to my list. To be fair I probably went over the area 20 times more than I should have, to get this one little fucker that wouldn't budge.

The tweezers miraculously just reappeared. ( only after much complaining)

Then over the weekend, I was playing with my (golden) Labrador. Ds comes over and said you are all full of hair. Wipes the side of my jaw, then as not all of them moved, wiped and grabbed the next time. He practically yanked my face to one side, it was very firmly attached. So now my chin hairs have gone from human chin hair, to Labrador looking chin hair. We did have a good laugh, but I was really quite mortified deep down.

I've had exactly the same thought about who'd do mine?! 😵‍💫🤣

I dont get chin hair but I get a black bristly moustache hair, I can feel it long before its pluck-able so drives me round the bend for a good 48 hours because I can feel it with my tongue as its at the side of my mouth.
I carry tweezers everywhere.

I also get the single long white eyebrow hair which im constantly on the lookout for!

Does anyone else also get a random eyelash that grows twice as long as the others? Would be fine if they all grew that long but instead one is practically tickling my eyebrows while the rest stay short and stubby. I end up having to pull it out.

I’m only 33 and I’ve got a lot of thick dark hairs on my chin, a few on my upper lips and cheeks. I used to tweeze them every night, but realised I was pulling out more than twenty a day. Also have a couple of random super fine white hairs on my chest.

No idea why I have these, had lots of tests, no pcos, normal hormones. I have dark hairs around my nipples on my lower abdomen and some coming up on my chest too. The older I get the more I get. I’ve started having laser hair removal and I’m finally seeing results after five sessions. I just have no idea why I’m so hairy!

I've had loads of chin hair since puberty. Used to have loads of ingrown ones which had to be dug out with a pin, and often spots with hairs in. So grim. Affected my confidence a lot. A lot of electrolysis has helped.

No extra eyelashes here. All my hair growth seems to only focused on below the nose. Even my eyebrows seems to be disappearing, now headed south.

I went with my ds to a barber visit once, and whilst in there saw they they did threading. So I thought, ah well I will get my eyebrows done while I am here. He failed to mention that he was just heading on down to the mustache area as well.... I am not sure who got the biggest shock. Me, at the pain of it, or him when every ml of water in my body seemed to instantly pour out of my eyes. I am glad I was taken by surprise like that, as now I know to NEVER do that again.

But as I walked out I thought to myself, why did he think my mustache needed doing, clearly he saw things happening there that I had been ignoring.

Oh I’ve found my people! This has become a massive issue for me in the last 5 years (t thanks perimenopause). I have always had light hairs but suddenly have a load of wiry black ones appearing from nowhere!!

those who use a lumea, do you shave first? That’s what really puts me off - I’d end up with stubble.

Anyone else feeling their chin as they read this thread? 😂

They don't even grow, they just are there overnight! I look sometimes and there's one large as life staring right back at me that wasn't there the day before 😅

I was sitting at lunch with my mum yesterday and she was stroking her chin, just to side so below the corner of her mouth. I said, you can feel a hair can't you? I said stop stroking it. I know what you're doing!
I have a hairy patch on my neck, like a cluster of 5 or 6 thick dark hairs grow there for no reason whatsoever. I have thick dark stubbly chin hair. Even though i tweeze they are so coarse they feel like stubble.
I use a cheap dermaplane thing on my mustache and sometimes my chin and occasionally I do the peach fuzz too.
Car tweezers are my saviour. The light in the car is amazing so I usually do a check when I get home and am sat on the drive. The kids will be stood at the front door waiting for me whilst I sort out the hairy mess that my chin has become.
You've all prompted me though, I do need to make the kids aware that if anything happens to me and self-care is tricky, then they are responsible for keeping it all at bay!

Laser won't work on mine because they're light coloured (even though my other hair isn't blonde or anything), the tricky buggers! Will look into electrolysis, though.

This thread is making me cry with laughter 😂

I can relate.

Hello to my people 👋🏻

I have a hairy neck (long black hairs, hair on my head is not black) which I’ve had since puberty. I also have 3 bristles on my lower jar! Hate them. I also have two random white hairs, as some of you describe they grow so long and are only visible when you’re in public. Bastards! One is on my nose, my DH (then BF) was horrified when he try to remove a horse hair that had landed on my nose 😢 The other bastard hair is just below my lip.

Over the last 5 years the chin bristles have joined in the fun. Christ on a bike!

I have tried all hair removal methods mentioned so far ……all hairs are still there! And thriving 🙄

oh yeah, what’s the story with the super long eyebrow hairs??? Thanks to the aging process!

Eyebrow trimming, car tweezers and light up mirrors are our friends. Glad it's not just me.

If I pull too fast, they spring back inside and then I can't get them for another couple of days while I wait for them to come out of hiding again.
Chin hairs are literally the worst.

Hello fellow hairy-faced ones! Tweezer question - how often do you replace yours? Has anyone ever sent their Tweezermans off to be sharpened? Are there any better tweezers on the market that I've yet to find? Thanks.
