Billygoat Gruff, Yikes !

minxie Strangely, I used to get nipple hairs when I was much younger, and they would grow quite long. I used to cut them off, didn't fancy plucking!
I've not had them for years though, just on the chin ?

These whiskers appear overnight! Nobody else notices them but when YOU do it causes such consternation.
For those of you who worry, electrolysis is the way to go. Just keep shaving off the little blighters then book a session a fortnight away and stop shaving, giving them time to show themselves.
Plucking, waxing, threading etc. will have to be done repeatedly.

I bought this from Amazon for those pesky little bu**gers,FMG White led mirror with 10x magnification

I noticed one of you had her eyelashes dyed. I rather fancy this. Any advice on home kits or going to a salon ?

Oh, Esspee, other people do notice! I squirmed with embarrassment when a rather glam boss of mine sat next to me, because she had a very long, dark hair dangling from a mole high up on her cheek which grew a little longer every day (she was blonde!). I was young then and didn't want to be the one to tell her, but was so relieved when it was gone one day - it had nearly reached her chin by then She had two teenage daughters - how did they miss it?!

I've now got a very well-used set of tweezers and the pink spring thing from Amazon (Epistick, well worth £1.05 of anyone's money).

I have noticed that the couple of white hairs that sprout on my chin are much thicker and wirier than the dark ones. I'm hoping this bodes well for when my baby-fine hair goes grey or white.

I have a young German friend and she, her husband and 20-year old daughter regularly have all extraneous hair waxed. They see it as part of normal grooming. Playing bridge I have sometimes noticed the moustaches of my (female) friends as the light catches them. I have now had my face threaded and I feel so much happier. Even though it had what looks like down on it, plus the occasional proper whisker, I still feel more feminine without it. My husband hasn't noticed and I am not about to tell him! There are still things I prefer to keep to myself!

One day I was wearing my reading glasses when I looked in the mirror and found I had a long nasal hair - couldn't see it without my specs! Shock horror. I try to trim nasal hairs with curled nail scissors. Hairs grow from a couple of facial moles which I trim off together with a few odd ones under my chin. There used to be small patch of fair hairs on my next just above my adam's apple. I used to have longish fair hairs on my nipples but they disappeared with breast feeding and didn't come back. Underarm hair hardly grows now.

I go to my local beauty place once a month on a special deal they do for me and wax away anything on my face that shouldn.t be there, they also do my eyebrows as well. My monthly treat and I feel winderful afterwards.

I always have tweezers in my handbag as when im in the passenger seat of the car (husand driving) I often spot bristles on my chin in the miror in bright light which I couldnt see in the bathroom!

Having luxuriant dark hair on my head, which I love. I am less enamoured of the luxuriant growth on my face. Anyone getting to 70 without any facial hair strikes me as a miracle. I started electrolysis at 40 and 30+ years on I still have it regularly. Originally every week, I am now down to every 2 or 3 months.

Those of you who can manage with tweezing, creaming, threading or epilators, count your blessing.

I have just come back from a holiday where there was poor light in the bathroom and, in spite of a magnifying mirror I missed one chin hair! At home, I tweeze them or use a little electronic tweezer gadget. (Takes age, but they are permanently gone) and I bleach my moustache every few weeks. Seems to keep things under control!

Poly I have an A symetric hair cut with a diagonal fringe. My Hairdresser has been working on it for months, now that the long side is quite a bit longer it is more obvious. I don't think it's dreadful I love it, and have had nice comments about it. If I feel like a change I just tuck the long bit behind my ear. I like something a little different

You hair sounds very on trend. The friend I was referring to had long hair, all the same length. She went for a trim but must have had her head leaning to one side and the hairdresser didn't notice. It was not a style, just a dreadful cut. I didn't mean to offend anyone who has had their hair styled.

Polly I thought I was the only person who did that!

nankate Eyelure do one 5.99 from Boots Superdrug etc . It is easy to use but you need a magnifying mirror . Not sure what it costs in a salon because I do my eyebrows and eyelashes my self . It makes an enormous difference .

If you can still get them, I rwecommend the Braun Epilator. Had it for years, use it about once a fortnight and it;'s brilliant. Used to use Nair but it doesn't work on those pesky coarse white hairs.
