To think what fresh hell is this?!

Exactly that!!

What fresh hell is this?!!

43 years old... noticed a hair on my chin. Yep. A HAIR on my chin. BTW I'm female. For clarity. I feel that's an important piece of information. Anyway, back to the hair. It wasn't just a little hair. It was jet black and stuck out at an angle - like it was stood on end. I mean - how long has said hair been there?! And why the hell has no one told me?!!! Have people been doing that thing when talking to me where they're trying desperately to maintain eye contact whilst thinking all the while 'don't look at the chin, must not look at the chin.'

Upon said discovery I grabbed my tweezers. I say grabbed but to be honest I weep when trying to pluck my eyebrows so I couldn't lay my hands upon said tweezers straight away since I hid them and vowed to never inflict such pain on myself ever again. Anyway, I digress. Had to stand very close to the mirror because at this point I realised that my eyesight is just not quite what it used to be and focusing on said hair just wasn't quite that easy. It took forever to find the little bugger again and when I did I couldn't quite grab it and as such my chin now looks like it's been attacked by a small animal.

Not satisfied with the discovery of said hair, as I was stood in the bathroom, practically nose to mirror I was a little taken aback at the line of fuzz on my top lip! Again, I ask you all dear people, what fresh hell is this?!!! Knowing that my DD has Veet wax strips (others are presumably available?!!) in her shit tip bedroom I decided I was on a roll and that I'd tackle said fuzz. Fuck me. Dear God. I read the instructions and held the strip in my hand to warm it. The first strip I put on I pressed down firmly. And then?...

Then I was too scared to pull it off. I counted to 3. Then I counted to 3 again. Then I counted to 10. Again I ask you, what fresh hell is this?????? Plucking eyebrows has nowt on this!! Weeping??? Rolling round on the bathroom floor! However... I'd only done one side. There was no one home to dtd and it fell to me to finish what I'd started.

Needless to say that whilst my chin looks like I've been attacked by a small animal , fuck me my top lip has been annihilated!!!!

I ask again dear friends, what fresh hell is this getting older?!!!

How long till the bleeding stops and the red swelling goes down?? I look like I've had lip fillers that have gone wrong!

What about nasal hairs? So v painful to pluck😮

You're all making me smile with your precise counts of chinny fluff. I've had a goatee that spreads to my neck crease since I was 16. PCOS means that my hair now grows with thick, lustrous beauty on my face, down my lower back, my forearms but I have little hair on my legs and shave them about once every 6 months and the hair on my head is slowly depleting. My body is working the wrong way round

I’ve had to pluck to my chin since my early twenties. It’s strangely satisfying, if I’m honest.

One hair?! God I wish I were you...

He says it’s been a creepy pasta for a long time

Tomorrow op you can wear your rash with pride, with a knowing smile and a wink you can pull it off as a night of passion.
Do you remember those days of kissing stubbled men for hours and the rash...
Nothing wrong with a renaissance op. All you need is bed hair ( not hard to achieve, just don’t brush it) and a twinkle in your 👀

@FangtasticBeast did you post that on the wrong thread or are you being a twat on purpose? - I hate that Momo thing and it really makes me want to track you down and beat the crap out of you cos I've been trying to avoid it on SM - I'm so fucking mad right now!!!!

Wait until you get to 50 OP. I check in the bathroom mirror morning and night. One minute nothing there then all of a sudden a massive long course white or black hair or three is found jutting out.

Lol I've been plucking since I was 20. Get ready, it gets much much worse

You've done well to get to 42...
I noticed my first chin hair in my mind 20s. I now have to pluck every day and I was monthly (doesn't remove the thick hairs, just makes them easier to see). I tried counting them once and stopped when I got to 30.
Have just turned 42.

Has anyone got a recommendation for a good lady shaver for eyebrows, top lip? Just looked on Amazon and there are so many!

Here - I often get up in the morning and see Brian Blessed staring back at me from the bathroom mirror.

Think yourself lucky.

That's scared the bloody piss out of me!

I found Charlie the chin hair when I was 22, I kept trying to brush a hair from my chin one day (I have always had past shoulder length hair).

Anyway finally I realised this random hair was actually attached to my chin, and was about 4 inches long. No idea where he popped up from. He definitely wasn’t there the day before and can only imagine he arrived because I was hosting my first dinner party.

Oh and yes I realised Charlie was there mid said dinner..

I quite miss him now, he got much thicker and bristled the more I plucked him out, but finally 9 years later he is gone.

Fuck his cousins that are sprouting else where though...

I had lunch with a new friend whom i realised mid-meal had an inch long black hair jutting out of her chin. I was so taken aback, I lost track of the conversation. I went into a cognitive dissonance trance. Who was this person? Did she know about the hair? She must know about the hair! Why, why was she keeping it? What message was she trying to send everyone? I still shudder...

Arrrrrgh also early 40's & it's a dark hair and light skin combo here too... I have them on my chin, cheeks, toes oh but it's the nipple ones that fuck me right off!

Was wondering about getting one if those Phillips lumeas - has anyone tried them?

i did, burned like crazy - sold it on eBay and lost a couple of hundred quid in the process.

I'm 26 and have several hairs on my chin and neck!

@Liketoshop no not at all but pull up a chair and let me tell you about all my real worries - my exh had an affair, my mum died, my DD started self harming and tried to commit suicide, I nearly had a nervous breakdown juggling trying to keep the kids on an even keel nevermind trying to cope with my own State of Mind. Throw in social services involvement due to a nightmare of an exh. That only covers the past 18 months. I could go on but really didn't want to over share but if you're offended by my extremely tongue in cheek, light hearted piss take out of myself then please find another thread that is of more interest.

Chin whiskers and nipple whiskers appear at roughly the same age...good luck dear pass the gin

Ooo going to get some nads nose hair wax!

Grippit - I have the same agreement with my daughter - if I'm ever in hospital unconscious or incapacitated, she will pluck my face and the one hair that grows out of my earlobe (WTAF!) and vice versa!

My face is good. 41 and no 'tache, never waxed it and so far no random hairs on it either.

I do however have 1 runaway pube that grows out of the back of my thigh, about halfway down. Think its a pube that fell down my leg one day.

Better than my chin though.

I read somewhere that women in Japan shave their faces with regular razors. I was shocked as my mum had always tried to scare me off shaving my legs by telling me that hairs would grow back thick and fast. I therefore grew up with this idea, however I read another article and it said that you could could shave your face with no ill effects and it also exfoliates too. So I tried it on my top lip and it has been fine - no stubbly re-growth or anything!
