Chin hairs

[ThreeLittleePigs]

Not sure where to post this but recently I've had two chin hairs. Thick bristly ones like a man. Much darker than the hair I get on my legs etc which are blonde. I plucked them out when I saw them but why am I getting them? I'm 33.

I had a single chin hair since I was about 25, one wispy black hair. Post 30 it's invited a couple of friends, some white that can hide from the tweezers. I've always had a tache.

And they grow literally an inch in a minute. You check in the morning and feel nothing but by lunch at work a giant one has sprouted so you have to carry emergency tweezers with you everywhere.

My Philips Lumia deals with these nicely.

I was told by someone who lectured on beauty at a college and another who did electrolysis that I should never pluck hairs as they grow back thicker. I was told the best thing was to snip them with scissors.

I think it's a myth that plucking makes hairs grow back thicker. Otherwise all balding men would be plucking their heads in hope!

I have this (I have PCOS). I’ve started getting them lasered (was a bit of a nightmare when the clinic was shut during the last lockdown). I had been tweezering / dissolving but then I started getting hairs on my neck which I can’t see well enough to deal with.

Laser doesn’t really work on white or blonde hairs but is meant to be great on dark hairs and fair skin. I now have fewer (but I do still have some) and my moustache is almost completely gone.

Get a stand-alone magnifying mirror. This will be your friend as you age. You can see any straggly hairs and any rogue eyebrow hair.

My slanty/straight tweezers (and magnifying mirror) are my friend when I get a chin bristle. I was NOT HAPPY when DH borrowed my said tweezers for boning fish once!!

Anyone got a recommendation for magnifying mirror?

Hormonal changes.

Plucking and the Lumea are my weapons in the fight against my incipient ladybeard

I’ve got the smaller standing SimpleHuman one, it was about £99 when I bought it, ludicrous I know but it’s paid for itself when it comes to eyebrows, ‘tache and billy goat moments.

at the idea of 100 quid for a chin mirror. Bet it's amazing though.

I like the idea of one with lights. Are the cheap knock offs just rubbish do you think?

I'm happy with my No7 illuminated mirror. I can see both dark and light hairs with the magnified side. I do t always need to have ur lit up. I paid a fiver from Face book marketplace about 6 months ago.

@Wearywithteens

I pluck my chin more than my eyebrows

🤣😂 me too!

@AnnieSnap
And me. My eyebrows are much more well behaved than the 2 or 3 sneaky chin bristles!!

2 or 3? You haven’t lived yet! 😂🤣

I've got a simple human one and a Boots one. I use the Boots for putting on makeup and the Simplehuman to assess every mm of my skin for imperfections.

In addition to my chin hair, my nose hair is getting out of control.

I don't think I could cope with that! My Boots mirror is enough for me!!😂

@Tealvelvet Oh God, mine too! t's starting to protrude from my nostrils! I'm officially turning into my dad

Really don't know what to do about that, as I stop short of plucking my nose hairs out!

Sorry to tell you but you are going to have to go for the pluck!!
It kills!

Ok hate to say this I had to buy a nose strimmer - I could not face plucking arghhhhh this getting old thing is a nightmare!!!

I wax mine, is this a bad idea? Everyone on here seems to pluck. Help

Just do what needs to be done!!!
Sometimes I have a combination of waxing, threading and plucking all in one session!
