well am I? I get one random hairr under my chin, it is blond and fine, but I normally notice its arrival and immediatly remoive, I obviously missed it this time and it is about 3cm long, I am quite tempted to leave it and see if it grows.

Sounds lovely, can we have a weekly update?

nicename · 21/10/2013 16:04

Is there going to be a sweepstake? I guess...... 5 inches.

Mollydoggerson · 21/10/2013 16:05

10 inches

blahblahblah2014 · 21/10/2013 16:07

orf with it's head! Immediately!!!

Isabelonatricycle · 21/10/2013 16:08

At least it is blond and fine (mutters as she exams top lip and chin for thick black bristles which may have avoided the tweezers)
And yes, do grow it - it will be a source of endless entertainment and I'm going for 1 inch until you can't cope and get rid of it (let's see if that is goady enough for you to grow it longer just to prove me wrong!)

idiot55 · 21/10/2013 16:12

Yes grow it, ive justvremebered i havnt looked for mine recently!

Must go hunting. I also get one on myleft index finger!

Pobblewhohasnotoes · 21/10/2013 16:12

Make it it's own fb page.

SheldonsMeeMaw · 21/10/2013 16:15

I have one as well. It just appears at about an inch long and it's very very thick and black. As soon as I spot the bugger, it's yanked out!

The other one that appears on my double chin is harder to find mind you

I think if it was blonde, I would cultivate it as well. Grin

I'll put a shiny pound coin on yours reaching 6cms before you kill it.

Nanny McPhee, alive and well!

propertyNIGHTmareBEFOREXMAS · 21/10/2013 16:26

I once had one on my neck and it honestly was about 10 inches. Was gutted. Pulled it out and thank fuck it has not come back.

propertyNIGHTmareBEFOREXMAS · 21/10/2013 16:27

Mine was a pure white hair. In case you were wondering Grin

Isabelonatricycle · 21/10/2013 16:27

Happy to help Grin

LoonvanBoon · 21/10/2013 16:29

Thought it was just me who had this! Mine is also on chin, very blonde (I'm dark) & comes back intermittently. Again, I never notice until it's at least a couple of centimetres.

summertimeandthelivingiseasy · 21/10/2013 16:37

I had a long white one I pulle off my back (normal fine back hair, just long) - grew to 3 5/8 inches - It grew back a few years later, but must have fallen off before it got long enough to get OH to measure it for me :(

nicename · 21/10/2013 16:43

I worked with someone who told us that once she was talking to a colleague and thought she saw a stray hair across her forehead. Not really thinking she lent over to pull it to the side, all nice and neatly... Yes, it was actually attached to the middle of her forehead.

BornOfFrustration · 21/10/2013 16:50

I have one on my cheek, it appears at about 1 inch long, doesn't offer any resistance when I pull it. I also have one on my arm that grows really long, must check for that freaky hair later.

ephemeralfairy · 21/10/2013 16:53

Definitely YANBU. I am currently growing my armpit hair.

runningonwillpower · 21/10/2013 16:55

I feel like that about my beard.

I'm genuinely curious to see what it would look like if I just let it be.

But I'm not yet old/eccentric enough to go with it.

ScaryHalloweenName · 21/10/2013 16:56

Chin hairs are the same as underarm, pube and leg hairs. They don't just grow and grow, they reach a maximum length and stay there, not usually that long either.

Men have different beard hair :)

PacificDogwood · 21/10/2013 16:59

Well, I have recently met an older lady with a rather impressive beard - a proper, dense beard Shock.

I think chin hairs are different from the occasional Evil Mutant Hair. Of which I have 3: one on my neck, one mid-thigh and one on my wrist. I notice them when they are about 1 in long and pluck them. Tres weird.

I wager 4 inches, dita Grin
