To be traumatised at having a bloody great hair on chin!

[MrsKiplin]

Seriously it's at least an inch long. I've shaved the f$$$$r off now but what if it comes back? What if there's more? What does it mean? I don't know anyone who has chin hair!!! Am still dealing with hitting forty and being a size sixteen, am not psychologically ready to be the bearded lady as well!!!

Many a thread on here laments this issue. I suffer too. I check carefully and then find when put in public a hair has suddenly appeared and is a length ready to be knitted. Tweezers in the car, desk drawer and handbags.

You should try being me, I have about 30

I found MN when I googled "should I wax my moustache"!

To my disappointment, so far I've not been able to muster the length for twirly ends.

They are buggers, those chin hairs. The worst thing is, as you get older they are more difficult to see.(Unless by some miracle you get to your old age without needing glasses) I have got a very high magnification mirror and can be found regularly peering into it wielding tweezers. The older I get the more hairs I get. If I didn't deal with them I would certainly have a bloody beard. My mum used to have the same problem, and oh how we laughed at my dad's stories of his bearded granny, so I blame genetics.

The best mirror to see then in is the passenger side vanity mirror in the car in sunlight.

I’m 28 and get my chin waxed

I'm 36 and get these...yuk. Count yourself lucky it's taken you to 40 to get them!

I blame my Mirena.

But chin hair is easier to get rid of than a baby.

I'd be happy at just 1 too!
They're so wirey.. I'm constantly getting rid of mine (Spring hair removing twisty thing - technical term obviously)

I have one really thick waxy hair that grows out of a tiny bump on my chin. I am compelled to tweezer it out as soon as it’s long enough as otherwise I constantly flick my finger tip over it.

Yep normal! If you could combine the strength of my chin hairs and my big-toe nails you would have a substance stronger than I-don’t-know-something-very-strong!

Also have them on the curve of my neck insert my ear , just off my jawbone.

Don't be ridiculous. You're a mammal. We have hair. It's not a big deal. Pluck it if it bothers you but do get some perspective!

Ha ha. I've got two, like the barbells on a catfish. Clarrrrsssy.

Seriously? Obviously you wax or pluck or you resemble your husband.

Why do we need threads about this?

Could be worse, you could have a shocking white hair that grows out the middle of your forehead

If it makes you feel better I once sat in a meeting wondering what was tickling my cheek near my top lip. Then I took a loo break, looked in the mirror and it was a fucking nostril hair, about 2 inches long. Obviously I whipped it out then and there and obviously I sneezed and had streaming eyes for the rest of the meeting

I remember a girl I was at University with. She was an arrogant thing, but that's not the point. She had one very long, very thick hair sprouting from her nostril. When she talked, it wobbled, and it swayed if she turned her head suddenly. I used to wonder how she could miss it.

I didn't like her enough to tell her about it, and I suspect that everyone else felt the same.

Women get hair everywhere that men do, just in smaller quantities. Usually.

Most women I know well enough to talk about it have chin hairs, and I'm 36!

I have a few, I call the one that comes out at ovulation time ‘spike’ he only comes stnthat time. Onebthenother side I have 4-5 and for some reason white eyebrow hairs during my period??? My eyebrows are black but have transparent white eyebrows at the edges just after my period.

I ALWAYS carry some tweezers in my purse in case of emergencies like this.

I have a magnified mirror at home but always seem to notice these pesky chin hairs, when I’m in the car.

This is why l have handbag tweezers, work tweezers, car tweezers and bathroom tweezers- the fuckers sneakily sprout constantly from 0 to 5cm!!

Just the one?
Lucky you.
I'm 47 and it's like a full time occupation getting the wee bastards.

Electrolysis is the only way for me keeps em under control. Now I only have to pay £15 every couple of months max and no stubble

I have around 20 regulars which pop up, and most women of my age (37) I know have them
