To think that DH has a duty to bloody well tell me about my witchy black chin hair.

He noticed it today in the sunshine. I'd not seen it before and was aghast, it must have been there for weeks pointing twiggily at anyone who encountered my face.

"I didn't want to tell you because I didn't think you'd like it"

Confused

and I found a white one which has just fucking topped it off really.

My facial sprouters are mid-mole. You can't pluck those fuckers, can you?

Pipbin · 20/03/2015 21:34

I had the exact same problem last night. Spotted the tiny little head of one on my chin, pulled that bastard out, then I thought I'd check the other usual places only to find one under my chin that was about and inch long. The fucker had started to curl!
DH had failed to mention it!

Stratter5 · 20/03/2015 21:36

I pluck my moley ones. Living dangerously.

BathtimeFunkster · 20/03/2015 21:42

Me too, Stratters. Hardcore!

Salmotrutta · 20/03/2015 21:47

Hah!

About 2 years ago DH said "Ooh, you've got a bit of cat hair stuck on your chin" and pulled it!

It turned out not to be cat hair at all... Hmm

Now I have a nice collection which I rigorously police with my Big Bathroom Magnifying Mirror.

...available in IKEA.

I feel sorry for women without any coarse facial sprouts. The pleasure of plucking them is truly divine.

prawnballs · 20/03/2015 21:51

Hahaha at the cat hair!
My friend who's a hairdresser did the same to a client Blush

squoosh · 20/03/2015 21:51

I plucked my mole hair till it admitted defeat and retreated permanently.

YellowTulips · 20/03/2015 21:54

I have one stealth hair on my upper lip that I think checks my diary.

I'm blonde and fair skinned and so it really shows up.

I check for the fucker daily and the bugger is rarely there. However as soon as I have an important event he goes into planning mode.

As I get ready and do my make up he's still hiding but storing up energy.

I go out thinking I look fab and a couple of hours in check the mirror and the bastard has grown out half a bloody centimetre and I have inevitably failed to take any tweezers.i have to rush to DH to borrow his penknife and use the (rubbish) tweezers in the shit light of a bathroom stall to get rid of the sneaky fucker.

He won't grow again for months (or until I'm trying to look nice for another event).

Grin

He sounds like a worthy adversary Yellow.

Pippin8 · 20/03/2015 21:57

Do not look in your rear view mirror in the sunlight. Gah, I'm practically a bearded lady! And, the other night scratched my back in bed & thought what's that? Got DH to put the light on & subsequently pull out an inch long black hair. From my back!!

squoosh · 20/03/2015 21:57

For a moment I thought you were going to say you then dug it out with the blade! I thought.......'hardcore'.

AlpacaPicnic · 20/03/2015 22:00

Scary mirror of much magnification - yup.
Tweezers multiple in makeup bag and bathroom - yup.
Constant 'stroking in upwards motion' of chin to discover stray hairs - yup.

I'm 37 and have been doing this for at least the past 3 to 4 years...

Feckers.

This is my worst fear.

How in gods name can we get them from there.

BudsBeginingSpringinSight · 20/03/2015 22:01

Have anyone of you tried sparatone? sp

You filleted your jaw in pursuit of hair!

squoosh · 20/03/2015 22:04

My friend once pulled a hair from beneath her belly button. It kept coming and coming and coming, inches of the stuff.

Her eyes still shine when she remembers that day.

YellowTulips · 20/03/2015 22:04

I know the sneaky fucker is going to have the last laugh on my deathbed.

Even if I got a friend to be on lip watch the bastard thing would sprout just before family kissed goodbye and were impaled in his mighty spike.

Redhead11 · 20/03/2015 22:10

I've got a couple of stiff white ones that poke out of the scar on my chin. I suppose i should be grateful that the one on the edge of my upper lip isn't actually on the large scar on my cheek! I have the horrid feeling i'm fighting a losing battle...

ClutterofStarlings · 20/03/2015 22:10

Yes! I also have the friendship pact of chin hair, spots and leg hair. I think we both drew the line at bikini line. One of my worst chin hairs seemed to disappear after I split my chin open & had to have it glued. There's a slightly lumpy scar there now. Five years later I still fear that the Hair is lurking in there, thwarted by scar tissue, waiting for the day it can expose itself in, by now, its foot-long glory. Because this will happen when I there isn't a mirror, or tweezers to hand, I'll just be able to feel it.

Squeakyheart · 20/03/2015 22:13

I was gutted when DH pointed mine out one day, he can't notice when I have had my hair done but spots those.

I need to phone BF to make a pact asap!

Yes, but what about when you can feel the buggers but can't get hold of them with the tweezers? this is my dilemma
