Ladies: Removing Chin Hair?

LegacyUser

I need some help! I'm in my late teens and I've noticed a few long-ish white hairs on my chin. I never took much notice of them but it was pointed out to me recently and I'm going crazy! It's not blindingly obvious because the hair is very fair, but the fact that I know it's there and can be visible is worrying me.

Is this common among young women? Do most young women have to remove hair from their chin? I'm not sure if this is unusual or not. How should I go about getting rid of the hairs? Tweezing or waxing? What do other women do if they have this issue? I really really need some help with this, please!

Whatever you do, don't shave it!! Shaving makes the hairs look thicker and darker! I went to school with a girl that had really obvious dark hair on her top lip, she didn't care so no-one else did If it bothers you that much, you could always use hair removal cream (my sister uses veet on her upper lip!) or a long term solution could be laser hair removal. It sounds like it's not too bad, being light coloured and just a few ones... you could always pluck them. I find with my eyebrows, if you pluck the hairs for long enough they grow back fewer and fewer each time... If it was me, I'd probably just pluck them
Good luck with whatever you do

My mother's side of the family are all prone to hair like that, and over the past few months I've noticed I'm getting some myself. Tweezers are my friend anyway.

I just hope the whole facial mole thing they get as they get older passes me by!

I hate tweezing and waxing as they hurt. I use a facial hair trimmer to get rid of any unwanted facial hair. They're really handy to have,painless and only about 12 euro in Boots.

its a more expensive option but electrolysis might be the way to go,i know someone who had to get it done as she had dark hair on her chin,she had to go a few times but you wouldnt know it now,any other way will just keep coming back

I had some on my chin and got epi pro done in my local salon. Took about 4 or 5 months of treatment every 2 weeks to get rid of them.

Dimples hair remover is great for that imho.

Moved from the Ladies' Lounge - your thread's not doing so well in there, maybe it'll do better here

OP - How long have you had it?
Have you considered Epilation?

I have the same thing except the hairs on my chinny chin chin are BLACK! And i've noticed lately that they grow back fairly quickly after i pluck them! My mums a beautician and waxes then for me regularly but they seem to be getting more obvious lately - i wonder has it anything to do with diet? It's very common though to have hairs on ones chin - or so i'm told!:D

I get a few, they're pale but I hate having them there! I pluck, and sometimes get ungrowing hairs that look like spots, if you can afford it I'd go for lazer hair removal, I will when I can. Otherwise plucking is okay, at least you can always sort it out when you notice em and not wait till they're long enough for waxing
