So recently my mom pointed out a chin hair on me. I thought she was joking and couldn’t believe that I had chin hair. I mean isn’t that something old people have? Well call me old because I now find one hear and there weekly! I am embarrassed to say this, but I figure I am not the only woman out there who has it. (or if I am please humor me and don’t laugh at me.) Since I still don’t think about it, it has gotten to the point that I carry tweezers with me because I always notice the said-hair when I am out and going somewhere! Luckily my husband has not noticed (or maybe he knows better than to say something) but it sucks now that for the rest of my life I will have to check my chin area for sprouting hairs! Don’t I have enough to worry about and shave or tweeze that I now need to add my chin to that list?
Oh and to make matters worse, while tweezing I also noticed a gray hair in my eyebrows! Seriously who gets gray hairs in their eyebrow hairs!
Melissa says
In my family, we women get chin hair and gray hair streaks. Its nuts! I’m thirty-six and I have a sideways gray hair skunk stripe on the left side of my head. Isn’t that crazy!
Cher says
My husband and his brother actually have a gray patch on the side of their heads too!
Some Lucky Dog says
I turned 56 today and have had chin hair for a few years now which is annoying enough…but I also still battle acne. How is that fair???
Cher says
Oh I have acne too! Sucks, when do we catch a break!
Gina H. says
Welcome to the club! Now that I’m in my 40’s I keep tweezers in the car. Best light to see the chin hair. What’s really bad is that just about the time you get these hard to see hairs, you eyesight starts getting bad! Oh the joys of aging!
Cher says
Too funny! I keep them in my car too but I didn’t think about how hard it will be to see them in a few years!
SnowflakeDay (Audra) says
Yep, I got those when I was pregnant. Dr. said it was hormonal. I splurged last year and bought a laser treatment package to get rid of the suckers. (I had them terribly bad on my upper lip also.) It’s SO nice not to have to tweeze and wax all the time now. I won’t lie, the laser treatments hurt, and were expensive…but it is worth it.
Cher says
I am considering laser – good to know!
Crystal says
aw,i feel your pain!! i think i got one for my 32 bday and one when i turned 33 and…ahhhh
Cher says
Chin hair is like the gift that keeps on giving!
shelly says
You are not alone. I have had this problem since I turned 30. It’s incredibly annoying. I have to check daily and I still miss some. I get them on my neck too. I haven’t found any gray hairs in my eyebrows yet, but I have found a few gray hairs on my head. I didn’t think this would happen til I was at least 50. Hormonal maybe? Inherited? Dunno, but very annoying.
Cher says
Definitely annoying! I find them too on my neck!
Stacie says
Don’t feel bad, I have to deal with this daily! I just get rid of it and keep moving!
Cher says
Glad I’m not alone!
Jenn @ I Am Not Superwoman says
The joys of getting older. I must admit I have seen a hair or two on my chin as well. Tweezers are my best friend too. No gray hair in the eyebrows (yet).
Cher says
Never thought I’d cal tweezers my best friend…
