To not pluck my chin hair?

[mistressploppy]

I only have one, and I usually pluck it out as soon as it becomes visible, but it's escaped my notice for a while and now it's over 1cm long

I'm curious as to how long it'll get. Should I start a book?

omg I couldn't not pluck

As it is I finger my chin many many times during the day, an unplucked one would drive me kerrrazee

I think it's fine until you realise that people are actually staring at your chin when you talk, then it's time to get busy with the tweezers.

I have a couple of the little fuckers that seem to spring out overnight!

It lies quite flat, so you can't see it unless you're really close

I keep them at bay daily with a bic razor but when I had PND with dd3 one of them grew to over half an inch and had curled upwards and was heading towards my cheek without me knowing. I was horrified when I finally looked in a mirror and saw it

YABU.

YANBU provided that you update this thread on a weekly basis to keep us abreast of progress - I have one myself and have to agree with BoysAreLikeDogs - it would drive me insane!

While I was pg I discovered a random hair on my belly which had, unnoticed by me, reached a length of about 1.5" - bizarre!

YABU.

Without realising it, you will soon start twiddling it absentmindedly in conversations with people. Perhaps stroking it thoughtfully when pondering. Pluck it immediately.

Will you consider removing it when the wart appears?

Hocus...a bic!

I have one...but it is an almighty one. It's visible if I dont pluck and grows much longer than a cm!

Oh and YABU! Pluck it! Pluck it!

i am of your long hair. plucking my chin hair is one of life's greatest pleasures, IMHO.

you pluck one and then 3 more turn up and why do they end up being black and stubbly?? since turning 38 i have loads of the bloody things!

Omg do you get them at a certain age, I don't have any.

I'd shave it everyday so it couldn't grow at all.

How can you not pluck it - it would be driving me CRAZY! I've got one at the moment that's just broken through the skin, but is still too short to pluck and it's driving me up the wall.

Pluck it!!! I have some dark ones on my chin and they bug me until I find the tweezers, it was worse when I had my coil in and they caused spots all along my jaw line. I also have a fine white hair which grows on my cheek, can get to about an inch, and I only spot it when the light catches it.

...I have one lone-ranger chin hair, I pluck it when I can feel it's at a decent length...I count myself luck actually my mum and sister are cultivating quite a chin full...I suspect I will suffer from a tashe for my sins ...Never ever shave!!..everyone knows!!

And why do they seem to grow only on one side? I could grow a one-sided beard easily. The 'tache grows on both sides though

This is one of the things they don't tell you about getting older. It happens.

Not helped by a beautician friend who said that she could always tell those that plucked just by looking at them (OMG!). Kept my balaclava on whenever I met her after that.

It's a strange but intereting scientific experiment so YANBU to test it's maximum growth.

I reckon it will peak at 2cm :)

< sits back and waits with tape measure >

you just have to pluck it properly...make sure the skin is warm...and use a decent tweezer (recommend the 99p number from Tesco) wet a cotton wool ball with warm water and hold it over plucking area..the pores will open and the hair will come out easier...the mistake people make is to pull the hair and it breaks which can cause in-growing hairs, dodgy spots and bruising

And this, right here, is the reason I love mumsnet so much.

I get 3 whiskers on my chin!! Over the years I have got rather excellent at plucking them at shorter and shorter lengths, and sometimes when they are just growing in, they can be squeezed out!!

I've got three on my neck!! Am I a freak??

To the ladies who want to know what else is in store for them, I give you......
