To think I’m too young for sprouting chin hairs

[User97532468]

Just as the title says really. I’m 35 and have noticed in the last 6 months I’m sprouting thick black hairs from beneath my chin. I try to look out for the buggers to catch them early but this doesn’t seem to happen and I only spot them when they’re a good centimetre long. I thought I’d be about 80 when I had this problem.

I’m39 and feel your pain. They seem to be more prevalent between ovulation and my period. Good magnifying mirror and tweezers.

My DDs Friend is 23 and getting them.

They are usually hormonal, which is why they often go worse during the Peri-Menopause, on some contraception etc.

I have had this for most of my life. I have a scar on my chin and it looks like a goat is trying to emerge from it unless I tweezer it every day.

Don't worry it won't be too long before they start turning white!
As fluffy says, tweezers and magnifying mirror are your friends.

Nope, I've been getting them for years and I'm only 28. I have to pluck loads of them out every morning!

Not too young for witch hair, no - I’ve had these since about your age! I have to be constantly vigilant!

I recommend an epilator

I was 27 when I got my first chin hair. At 40 I now have 3-4 of them. It will probably just get worse

Seriously? Mine started in my 20s! Thought that was normal

I have noticed lots of white ones sprouting. I am 38 and very fair, There are like whiskers. I may invest in an epilator. Would an epilator work on blonde hair, and does it cause pimples?

Nope, fraid not.

Everyone else is doing it. We just don’t talk about it.

My secret weapon against chin hair is a pubic hair batter operated razor...never used in pubic area, I must say! Works a treat. I can never manage to pluck with tweezers. Utter wuss!

Started at 19 for me

Doesn’t seem to cause me any - I don’t have blonde hair but can’t think why not

Totally normal I’m afraid.

I was 14 when I started getting them, along with a small patch of hair on my chest.

I was about 28, I get 3 big white ones and black one that appears on my cheek overnight!

I could grow a full goatee if I wanted to. I actually have to shave my actual face every day (I'm 38)

I got my first at 17. I’m now 30 and halfway through laser hair removal to get rid of the tufts on my chin.

I think I was about 10 when my moustache appeared so that was nice

I was 14. I've spent in excess of £10,000 on electrolysis and laser hair removal. I still remember the first day I wore my hair back from my face after 2 years of HOUR LONG electrolysis sessions to clear my beard and my sideburns. I've had from my waist to my ankles lasered. I look normal now. I've started a fund for DD (7) already. No PCOS, no hormonal abnormalities, and I'm white.

Mine don;t so much sprout as barge their way through! I swear I go to bed and nothing,,wake up and its hanging there about 2cm long!Maybe thats a slight exaggeration but they are there!

I have three that Sprout at various times. Am 45 but can't have had them years!

I have polycistic ovaries so have had to get used to my beard. I use a laser machine at home and razors as I often forget.

Why are they so thick and strong?! The hair on my head is wispy and so bloody fine!!

Early 30s I've had them for years. Can go months without one then all of a sudden there's either 1 or 3 long black hairs poking out a good cm! Always surprised how thick they are but it seems a common thing women just don't talk about!
