SPEAKING of anger and facial hair

[Deleted]

i just discovered a gigantic, clear whisker growing from my chin.  omg.  i want to die.  i keep pulling at it, but i can't get it to come out.

it's CLEAR.  like it's made of plastic or something.  i'm enraged that my face would pull such trickery on me.  i could've yanked this bad boy at inception if it wasn't clear.


oh no.  wait.  is this this chin whisker equivalent of going gray?  then i have to be made that i'm old too!

blame the baby

I found a grey eyebrow hair the other day I freaked and I cant blame a baby

[speckledfrog]

I once found a hair on my cheek that was like an inch and a half long. How did I not notice it?? That was years ago and I still obsessively check my face.

[FastHands]

hahaha this gave me the gigglesnorts.

Assuming everyone on earth is like me, it's not the equivalent of going grey. I had one chin hair that was clear, so I wasn't super on top of pulling it. Then recently someone here was posting about their rogue chin hairs, and I thought "oh, I need to pluck that sucker.."..... and now he's dark. Asshole.

[sharknado]

Your anger is inappropriate.

I plucked my one neckbeard hair today. Caught it early. Except this month instead of dark brown its RED.

this is what my neck hairs look like. and for some reason, it doesn't matter that i've been getting them for the last few years. i still never notice them until they're ready for braiding. wth??

Same! I'm convinced they grow overnight.

i feel less alone in my pain. it's good to know that other people have rogue/off-color chin and neck hair.

[FastHands]

I'm now picturing chin hairs doing slightly-inappropriate stand-up routines.

This is me too.  And the only mirror I ever see them in is my car mirror.  I've started keeping tweezers in my car for this very reason.

I've had chin whiskers since 23. I started with one and now, well, I have more. Let's just leave it at that, lol. No grays!

Yes, I get these super wiry WHITE ones on my chin. These fuckers are the kind that just gave the finger to the laser and didn't respond at all to LHR treatments.

Really? Holy shit! Those whiskers are fierce.

I had one on my cheek that looked like a pube once. HOW did I never notice that, and it has been 10 years, I STILL check!

I get clear ones in my chin that feel like I have a glass sliver in my skin. Awful. I keep tweezers in my desk at work (I have an office with a door) and in my car. Can't help it. 

[snickers]

I have a mole that started to grow hair, which I discovered a month or so ago. I was horrified.

This happened to me. Except replace "I found" with "A lady at the makeup counter who was colour matching me found"

I kept an eye on it and its twin I found on my other cheek diligently. I would never see them until they were freaking long. Like they grew overnight. They haven't been back for a while now.

Just wanted to add that white & clear facial hairs (whispers whiskers...) are better than BLACK!!!!!
That apparently grow approx 1/8 inch a day!!! I've had a couple- 2 in my chin, 1 in my CHEEK that my husband pointed out on the way to a funeral. Gross...
Basically, it could be worse!!

So, when you guys say you get chin/cheek/sideburn (haha) hairs do you ever get like sores and ingrown hairs in these areas as well? I started getting a lot of facial hair about two years ago due to hormonal changes and because I pluck, my chin always looks like I have severe cystic acne. And it hurts like a motherfucker! Any tips on how to avoid this?

[TrickyBob]

I get side burn random hairs, I pluck them. I've already admitted to shaving my chin/mustache hairs. I don't have a lot but they are DARK and I always miss some if I pluck..so I just shave them. I've been doing it for years. I tried waxing them before...LOL no.

I get 1 random boob hair, out of the same spot. One day it will be there and 2 days later, it's like 1/2 inch long. wtf.

[lolly]

I have a mole on my chin that sprouts one of these wiry suckers. It has for years. I am constantly touching it to see when it returns so I can pluck it before it gets crazy long. It is my hair nemesis.

[iamgrace]

I have a nipple hair like this. Just one.

THIS HAPPENED TO ME!!!  It was totally blonde and I only noticed it because I thought it was a regular hair and tried to whisk it out of my face but it didn't go anywhere! 

[BaliHai]

Pregnancy has given me chin/neck whiskers and they are currently my mortal enemy. H thinks it's hilarious, but I pull them out and they CURL!! That's how long they are. I can't stand them.

I tend to actually get spots where I pluck on my face, not just look like it.  What I've found to work is to pluck immediately after getting up of the shower and then swiping the area with some with hazel.

I tell DH regularly that when I am old I can join the circus sideshow as the bearded lady.   They seem to be multiplying as I get older. The fuckers seem to support overnight.

I'm just going to say it. I have peach fuzz all over my face and it is clear. But some of it is changing to more wirey, and it SUCKS. I don't know what to do about it, because it is *everywhere* and I don't want to wax my whole face. When I was pg, I could have passed for a civil war general w/ my side burns if i hadn't waxed.

So. You're not alone, and you have my sympathy. But I have no solution to your problem. Maybe you can blame genetics? My mom recently told me one of the most striking things she remembers about her mother (who died 5 years before I was born) was her hairy face, with clear/white hairs. THANKS GRANDMA MARIE!

OMG, word for word, this.  You can't see it unless you're super close (so far) and pregnancy definitely made it worse.
