How come I can check my neck/chin in the morning but by the time Ive got to work I have an extra 4 hairs and by the end of the day its like American werewolf in London. I have a zapper -phillips lumia but I never have the flipping time to use it! Im a shocking mess at the moment! Sad

AntsDeck · 11/09/2018 21:28

Someone needs to produce Just For Foofs - mine are so grey!! Sad

DonnaDarko · 11/09/2018 21:29

I have to do my neck and chin hairs every other day 😂

Gotta laugh or we'll cry 😀

Flaskfan · 11/09/2018 21:30

I have moles on my face with hairs. I also have a longish nose. I'm going to be a truly terrifying old lady.

@Charolais

LOL, it happens I know this. Nipples towards the belly button is a feature.

You young ones do not have any idea what is ahead of you in the drooping department. But I don't care. Why should I grow old gracefully, I want to be a bit mad at all this stuff women have to deal with.

Actual crying laughing at this thread puts tweezers in car

HappyHippy45 · 11/09/2018 21:32

I'm 43 and have just discovered pubes go grey too. I don't know why I'm so shocked. . . But I am!!

My mum asked me if it was normal to have grey "body hair" at aged 72.
She had no idea and was a bit perplexed about these mutant hairs.

MellowMelly · 11/09/2018 21:34

@DaveyouareanuttertwatDave
Hilarious!

My sister and I had a random body hair chat. So both of us have a random one not far under our tummy buttons and while we were pregnant we both grow a long wispy one under our chin.

I also to my utter horror found a long wispy grey one on my neck last year and recently have noticed a few chin hairs. I’m 39 so I figured it was possibly hormonal.

Either way, it’s just another thing for women to contend with!

rightknockered · 11/09/2018 21:38

Still remember the first day I notice all the chin hair when I looked in the fucking car mirror. Lasered the lot off, and threaded like a mad woman as soon as possible. Now I always check for hairs in the car. Best place

redastherose · 11/09/2018 21:39

I needed a good laugh and this threat hasn't disappointed 😂

redastherose · 11/09/2018 21:40

Thread* ffs

tentontruck · 11/09/2018 21:41

I'm convinced that random hairs fall out of my head and onto my pillow, and during the night my face presses against them and they burrow into my chin. There is no other explanation for the length of the chin hairs I wake up that definitely weren't there the day before.

OhLookHeKickedTheBall · 11/09/2018 21:42

Oh hello, I have found my people.

The chin hairs are the worst. I'm sure all I do is rub my chin now to see if another of those bastards has sprouted.

finethen · 11/09/2018 21:42

I love this thread - made me feel positively normal and hairy and happy'ish

clumsyduck · 11/09/2018 21:43

My pubes have been slowly migrating since my Mid 20s 😂😂😂Grin

tentontruck · 11/09/2018 21:45

Has anyone else made a pact with a close friend that if you are unfortunate enough to end up in a coma they will come in every day to deforest your face before any other visitors are allowed in?

Ironmanrocks · 11/09/2018 21:45

Why do mine feel like wire? Then I can't leave them alone - generally at work when I then draw more attention to them. too short to pluck but I have to keep rubbing it. I need tweezers everywhere!!

2018SoFarSoGreat · 11/09/2018 21:45

oh please. As they say, you ain't seen nothin yet. Literally.

The only blessing (or curse) is that your eyesight will probably go in pace with how fast the stray hairs grow. The white ones, however, have a pace all of their own. And they are super thick and strong. Trying to pluck them is a feat - did you know that your eyelid could come out about 8 inches from your face? No, well just you wait. You'll find out.

The new hairiness. Everywhere. Ears/nose/chin/neck/boobs/forehead. You'd think that was bad enough. BUT people listen up. I have a new horror to share, but I shall whisper so as to try to keep the panic down. The lady garden has bare spots. It looks somewhat like it has been partially lovingly tended - all smooth and shiny in patches. The rest is grey/white/red and about two feet long. Yep, I could tuck it into knee highs if I was my mother. Please god. Don't make we wear them. I think I give up. Take me now. Please.

MayhemandMadness01 · 11/09/2018 21:49

Peach fuzz is my nemesis, can't see my foof for belly so I'm just going to pretend all is well down there.

Cblockbitch · 11/09/2018 21:50

I love you all Grin

Thank God. I can relate to EVERY post. Face fur is the pits. I have made my DDs promise to pluck for me.

keyboardkate · 11/09/2018 21:54

I have a razor in my car for the chinnies. Cannot be arsed trying to find the stray hairs and it is a bit safer for other road users. Only do it when stopped at the lights BTW.

Those visors with lighted mirrors tell it all, so I whip out my trusty razor for my chin. I both love and hate my car!

enjoyingscience · 11/09/2018 21:55

A word of caution - car mirrors are absolutely the best place to go hunting for chin hairs, but don’t do it in your work car park when colleagues are walking past. Because would be embarrassing. Definitely didn’t happen to me.

clumsyduck · 11/09/2018 21:55

And you know what I would not even mind about the new locations / epic speed of pube growth or the fact I can grow eyebrow hair in 12 hours if the hair on my head would grow that frigging quick.

enjoyingscience · 11/09/2018 21:56

And also amen to the wandering pubes. Wtf are they doing? Random ones started appearing on the backs of my thighs.
