My hair is migrating!

What a fantastic post, it made me laugh so much! Its so great to hear others saying about what I'm experiencing, the hair of my legs have disappeared, also under my arms, only to appear on my upper lip & chin. I think if I had to go into hospital, I would come out with a moustache and beard. As for ......down below, its taken on a life of its own and is like an overgrown lawn. The only thing that is unchanged is the hair on my head.

Yes. And thanks for the smile. ?

Dennis Healey has exported his eyebrows straight to my brow. I've always had hobbit feet and tarantula legs. My stomach has always been like a gorilla's but my ankles are now as smooth as a newborn baby's bum...it highlights my bulging veins, which you could run trains on, nicely!

Thank you ladies for the funny posts, it is comforting to know I am not alone in this hair/less saga.
Reading this today has been a great tonic?

Such a funny thread!

I am 64 and exactly at that stage if you didn't laugh you would cry!

Chemo did for most of my hair, except a couple of resilient chin hairs which annoyingly hung on! I now have thick short grey curls which dh, when asked if I had a new wig, said ‘who’d buy a wig like that’!

Oh and bikini line too!

I did laser hair removal for lip, chin, underarm and legs -- it really works and I feel well worth the investment.

Have embraced eyebrow dyeing as one eyebrow is much greyer than the other.

Tweezers forever at the ready for the ever sprouting ‘bristles’ on my chin and lips.

Use my husbands nose trimmer for my nostrils and as for ‘down there’, if the hair gets much longer I’ll take the scissors to it.

Not much to speak of under arms and legs shaved twice a week at the same time as I wash my hair

The hair on my head has thinned considerably, but seems at the moment to be considering a tentative come-back. It will be welcome!

Underarm hair has been a thing of the past for ten years or so, but those horrible wiry hairs round my nipples are still there!

Pubic hair a good deal thinner than it used to be, but still there.

Hair on legs and arms still present and correct - wish it wasn't.

Moustache and beard running wild - visualize me haring after with the tweezers.

Eyebrows as thick as ever, and developing long wiry white hairs!

My mother and grandmothers were the same, although my mother lost the hair on her legs too.

Great post. I was fine - hair wise - until I went on medication just over a year ago. The steroids I was on made my hair thin, luckily it has grown back but with a kink in it. With the other meds I am on I now have a hairy chin and top lip, hairs up my nose, my legs have man hair as do my arms, my 'down below' is long and wiry (lovely) and it is now a chore to keep it all under control. One benefit of a face mask - no one can see if I have missed a bit. Happy days I am still here.

I love this post! Def make me feel like less of a freak! Underarm hair is less sparse but now cover a much greater area and has def moved down the body to nipple height! Hairy toes - yes, my girls laugh and I used to have them waxed before COVID. Down below hair has def moved outwards and downwards too, nearly reaches the knees now! Beard and moustache are coming on a treat. Oh - and I now have one stray hair in the middle of my left buttock which likes to grow long and grey. Difficult to remove from that location trust me!!!!

Oh Bluebellwould thank you so much for putting this post up. I thought these things were only happening to me and I was keeping quiet about it!

Completely - almost - identify with Bluebelletc. Down below hair had gone before my hysterectomy nearly 3 years ago. ( I'm in my 70s) . 2 years later it began to grow back. Doesn't make sense.
As for head hair, yes it's thinning, and whenever I'm particularly stressed, which has been quite often for various reasons over the past few years, my hair definitely falls out faster.

I haven’t shaved my legs since my mid 20s after leg surgery before which my legs were shaved THREE times a day for three days and treated with some kind of gloop and then wrapped up. It was supposed to lower the risk of infection. The result was, apart from successful op outcome, lovely smooth, shiny, hairless legs ...forever. They should have patented it. Wonder what the gloop was ?

Yup, apart from the head/lip one this all happened to me during perimenopause. Arm hair more or less completely vanished.

It is the downstairs hair turning into piano wire that I hate. Instead of brown and glossy it is now gray and wirery. (if there is such a word). I keep getting one dark hair on my upper lip which I have to pluck same with my nose hair which grows at a rate of knots. I have used a silk epil on my legs for years so the hairs on my legs are not as bad as in youth. Used regularly they eventually kill off the hair root. My eyebrows however are coming in white! Trying to pluck up the courage to dye them. If I keep on plucking them out I will have no eyebrows left!

Tweezers would have to be a priority on my desert island list plus a magnifying mirror. Would I be allowed both?

Just as well we don’t go visiting anywhere lately, but pre lockdowns I’ve often got in a tizz in the car, after realising that chin hairs have sprouted overnight (or at least since I dared to look in the mirror with my glasses on) - and I haven’t got any tweezers! ?

Maybe that’s one NY resolution I might just keep - never go anywhere without tweezers!

The hair on my head is thinning. The hairs in my nose have turned dark so they are more noticeable. As for the rest I leave it for winter to help keep me warm.

I was glad to see the back of underarm and leg hair but could do without the facial hairs. I have one or two single ones which literally sprout an inch (at least) overnight and hairy moles that electrolysis practitioners are 'not allowed to touch now'. I don't wear my glasses when I look in the mirror... The does help to some extent.... 'Down below' seems much as before except for patches of grey... Can't understand why people shave that off. Did it once...never again!!!....but that is a whole other topic....

Mine has lessened everywhere (barring a couple of stray ones on the chin) but wasn’t noteworthy as it happened gradually over time.
DH, who was very hairy, now has the soft hair free arms and legs of a baby and it happened almost overnight ?

I am enjoying wearing the masks while out and about on dark winter days; But when we get a bit of winter sun and i am driving with husband next to me he must get a shock at the beard growing. I do try and keep up but twice weekly is pushing it. The masks are a blessing and social distancing!

Great post! Shame it describes me too though.
