To be fond of my chin hair?

I have a particular chin hair that’s been with me since puberty. I am now in my 50s.

It pops out once a month or so. I pluck it out. It returns again.

As I’ve aged, it’s gone from brown to white, like the hair on my head.

It’s become like an old friend really. I can pluck it out without even using a mirror

I honestly think I’d feel bereaved if it ever stopped growing now! 😂

All the love your curves. No reason why you shouldn't love your curls. Go full hog and name it

I wait expectantly for it to pop out- always disappointed Ted when it happens slower than usual......

YABU. Mine also visits every few weeks but gives no warning- literally pops out an inch long overnight.Angry

It’s been with me so long now I don’t even associate it with ageing since it started in puberty.

I'm 30 and got my first chin hair last month, I hate it, been plucking it once a week. It's not there when I go to bed and then wake up and its 3cm 😪

New hairs can be quite excited and keen to grow 😃just keep on plucking and it should calm down a bit after a while.

You are probably not a weirdo like me, but you may get attached to it in the same way it’s attached to you 😍

I start every day checking my hair - it’s as much a ritual as brushing my teeth Grin

How about Chineice the chin hair?
Once my bff had a hemorrhoid and we called it Harriet!! Not that I was on personal terms with it but was fun to mention it in public on the sly!!

I hated my newly appearing grey (head) hairs and pulled them out. Then I went through a stressful time and my hair started falling out. Not every hair is precious and the greys are welcome.

Chin hairs however, appear at their peril.

The good thing about my chin hair going while is that it’s a little less obvious against my pale skin until I find my tweezers Grin
