I have told my two DCs that if, when I am in my dotage, they do not ensure my chin and upper lip hairs are not removed at every visit then I will come back and haunt them!

YeTalkShiteHen · 12/09/2018 18:20

Grey chin hair was a really low moment Grin no idea if I was more pissed off I had yet another area to de fuzz (I’m dark so it’s more obvious) or that it was grey!

redsummershoes · 12/09/2018 18:27

next step up then is buying a shopping trolley :o

This thread reminded me to wax my 'tasche this morning Grin

My lady garden has been patchy since my first pregnancy at 28 as I got stretch marks on my foof!

EngiNerd · 12/09/2018 18:57

@meddie what is that?

Purpleartichoke · 12/09/2018 18:59

I have the advantage that my rogue wiry hairs are white so they don’t show as well. Makes them harder to spot though when I go to pluck.

Ginismyfavouritefoodgroup · 12/09/2018 19:04

I bought a magnifying lit up mirror thingy after glancing in my car mirror and spending what felt like an entire morning plucking out random face hair. Big mistake - those things are brutal!!! And I just felt the back of my thighs and they’re definitely not smooth. Neither’s my bum crack.

Smudge100 · 12/09/2018 19:18

I don‘t understand this. I am 63 and have no more facial hair than i had at age 8.

leghoul · 12/09/2018 19:23

Yep
Chin hairs magically appear within the blink of an eye

MaidofEyes · 12/09/2018 19:26

I wasn't going to read this because I thought 'What do I have in common with youngsters of 32?'. But I'm so glad I did because I feel so much better about all my miscellaneous hairs, I thought I was going mad about the nose hair forest.

I have a beautiful piece of wire that grows out of my cheek. It must be wire. It simply cannot be hair.

And they must be starting younger because my 13-year old daughter informed me yesterday, in utter horror, that she had a big black hair growing out of her nipple.

😂😂😂 Omg nearly wet myself laughing. Getting old is a pain in the arse, literally. Piles, bladder weakness, hairy face, hairy chest, crunchy joints. Lovely. 😂😂😂

Chocolatedeficitdisorder · 12/09/2018 19:41

I don't like dyeing my hair, but I've got a huge Mallen streak (anyone else understand that?).

meddie · 12/09/2018 19:45

EngiNerd, its a spring and you twist and roll it over your chin hairs and it grabs them and pulls them out. bit like threading.

Cblockbitch · 12/09/2018 19:56

redsummershoes I have a shopping trolley Shock

I mentioned this to an Indian colleague of mine today........ she said 'girl, I'm Indian, don't talk to me about hair iv been waxing my top lip since I was 10' Grin

I told her I'd post that here and see if she wins the thread.

Chocolate...I ALWAYS wanted a Mallen streak when I was younger.

I am now mostly grey all over (under the dye) and never did get my Mallen streak.
I am jealous

NorksAreMessy · 12/09/2018 20:03

Also...Maddies...I SWEAR by that springy thingy...99p on Amazon and it is the absolute dogs bollox

MarklesMerkin · 12/09/2018 20:17

Mid 30s and starting to look like big foot. Speaking of feet, has anyone else mentioned toe hair yet?! Blush

alwaysanauntie · 12/09/2018 20:17

So glad you've informed of thus name, I will tell DH as he will be highly amused, he's a fairly relaxed chap but does comment when my lustrous nipple lashes are more than an inch and tickle his tongue when he's trying to be amorous Blush

CaveMum · 12/09/2018 20:19

Worth mentioning that excess hair, acne, etc can be a sign of Polycystic Ovaries - as many as 1 in 10 women (including me) have the condition.

Personally I have to get my eyebrows and top lip threaded every 2-3 weeks, my chin done every 4 weeks and I deal with my bikini line when I can be arsed! But yes, I too found a solitary migrating pube halfway down my inner thigh a few weeks ago (aged 37)

EwItsAHooman · 12/09/2018 20:21

I don't grow a great deal of body hair so I'm interested to see if I'll finally get some as I get even older!

I do have one random nostril hair, really black and thick, needs plucking every 2-3 weeks as it'll start to hang out of my nostril. Last week I pulled a weird feeling strand of hair out of the back of my head, it was the same length as the rest of my hair but about ten times thicker and had the texture of nylon wire. Very weird.

Lozz22 · 12/09/2018 20:28

I have PCOS so im literally covered in loads of body hair. Thankfully I’m fair so it isn’t visibly noticeable until you get up close!! However I can’t wear foundation without it insinuating all my facial hair and the last time I tried using hair removal designed for the face it chemical burnt my face and it took months for my skin to go back to semi normal. For weeks I looked like a spotty 13 year old! I have 2 random black hairs that pop up just under my chin and my stomach from my belly button down to just where it curves round has black hairs on it. Those I shave and my legs well I hardly bother with those because I’d be shaving every day if I did!! I can shave my legs in the morning and by teatime they’re hairy again!! I’m single so it’s only me that sees my hairy legs. Plus it keeps me a bit warmer in winter!!

Figmentofimagination · 12/09/2018 20:30

I forget toe hair! And the dark hair that has started to appear on the tops of my feet as well. I've had to start shaving my feet and toes this summer when I wanted to wear sandals.

averylongtimeago · 12/09/2018 20:39

Foot and toe hair? I think I am part hobbit.
