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!

I started with chin hair last year (early 50s, so shouldn't complain) and the bastard things grow to at least an inch long overnight. Right now, my thyroid levels aren't quite right regardless of what the bloody doctor says and so I don't have to pluck every day or two, but every week or so. My eyebrows are falling out bloody thyroid but I have a single black hair in each one. I am blonde, so you do notice them. The light at work shows up EVERYTHING!! In my job, I do meet a lot of old ladies who have clearly given up on plucking, waxing, cutting and shaving and have flourishing beards. I am currently vowing to never end up like that!

DD age 9 keeps pointing out my stray whiskers and newly growing mole hairs to me.

“Shall I get them for you?” she asks

FFS she won’t ever remember me pre-whiskers will she?

Ok I have mad hair growing in most of the places previously mentioned, but my once really bloody hair arms are now hairless. Completely. So what the fuck is that about?

Hairy. It’s hairy.

ive been shaving my face since i was 13,some times twice a day

i also have very hair feet and toes and thick jet black hairs on my belly and a lot around the nipples

im 38 but never had a period as i have severe PCOS

For years I’ve had a single rogue thick black hair that grows just below my right collar bone 😖 and if left unattended I have hairy hobbit feet. I’m still (just) in my late 30’s ☹️

You got to 43!!! I was in my twenties.

Mate, when I hit perimenopause this shit got real really quickly. So i got a few hairs on my chin, but when I got to forty-one - oh my gawd. COARSE BLACK HAIR ON MY CHIN. Allllll on the underside of my throat too like a fucking beard.

My hair was silvery white by the time I hit twenty-five and yet I still get these thick coarse hairs on my chin. The hair growth on my legs is ridiculous, so thick and long. Same for my pubic area - and don't get me started on my underarm hair. I could BRAID THAT SHIT.

Fucking stupid hairs.

I found a chin hair at 34 and nipple hair, wtf is with the nipple hair? Now 40 and waiting for this shot to get worse

Like a pp though, my arms suddenly seem hairless 🤷‍♀️

No way! So after reading this lot, I decided I had better check nipples. Good job I did!
There was a mahusive dark long fucker curled up, hiding at 6 o’clock.

I’m going on holiday soon, imagine if that had been hanging out my costume for all to see. I’m shaving them both tomorrow in the shower. Bastards!

I feel your pain. I found one on my chin a few weeks ago. It was over an inch long & silver😐

The realisation that it didn't just show up over night, but has probably been waving at people I talk to for months if not years. Oh the shame 😩

@GinZing glad I (and other hairy nippled women) was of help to one person today. Now maybe the goddess of body hair will allow my eyebrows to at least vaguely look like they both belong to the same face...

I've had full on Hairy nipples for as long as I can remember; I shave them when I do my legs.....

I have hairs around my nips that are two inches long and look like bastard spiders legs.

😒

I'm an old hand at this . You need a good magnifying mirror, and a really good quality pair of tweezers. Every morning , check your face in a good light - sunlight preferably - and pluck out those little suckers. They do pop out overnight sometimes, so you need to be on top of the situation. This won't go away - I'm 20 years older than you and I've had them since I was in my 30's. All you can do is to manage them - they are not going anywhere. Good luck !

I so needed the laughs I've had reading this. I have had a long, fast growing, white hair attached to my nip since my teens, DP likes to try and pull it out. She also is delighting in telling me my beard and hair are going white. I intend to check her for chin, tash and gash hair when she's next sleeping. If I find none I may just transfer some of mine to her, using pritt-stick to attach.

All this over hair? Get a grip. On tweezers if you like.

I've had this since my late teens, I recommend getting a home ipl machine. The post would have been funny had I not experienced something similar when I was 17 which left me feeling disgusted with myself for years.

Chinnegans since my twenties, random rogue hairs since my teens, finally acknowledged my mild tache a few years back now, in teens, think its related to my shit hormones

I’ve been having my chin and lip waxed since I was around 20, so I’d say you’ve been lucky. I have very dark features so it’s also highly obvious when it grows... bah! Isn’t recommend getting it waxed professionally. Get to lie on a bed.

My Hand held epilator. I use that and a magnified mirror on a sunny day. It's the only way to get rid of the bastards. Don't be tempted to use it on nipple hair it hurts like hell

Please allow me to tell you the tale of my ingrowing chin hair...
FROM HELL!
It started the way they usually do, a small pimple and the usual messing about to extract a thick black hair. Left it to heal, which it didn't. The scan sat there for a few days and then started to lift.
There was another thick black hair in there. Just great. Now, I remembered that hair follicles tend to grow in threes so I counted on there being another lurking hair, which indeed there was. Also more gunk.
Now I had a noticeable scab on my chin, but I hoped my ordeal was over.
It wasn't.
A few days later the scab started to lift again and this time I found two of the wiry little gits there. How my body had managed to conceal five thick hairs in one small space was a mystery to me. These two hung on like grim death and left a mess behind them.
Now I spotted quite a big scab that took a month to heal and left a red mark behind. I still have a little mark where those evil hairs grew.
Bastards.

Another meh from me. I’ve had them since puberty. Big fat black fuckers like the mooring ropes on the Titanic. 44 now tho so some are white...er...yay?
On the up side, I am now quite addicted to lying on the bed reading mn while pulling the feckers out.

This is all too familiar.

Not RTFT but invest in a par of Tweezermans. Best money you'll spend when it comes to chin hair!
