It’s just … So unfair!

Why can you overpluck your eyebrows to the point they’re still growing back DECADES later – but you can’t overpluck chin hair??

    Literally it doesn’t make sense. Or why is postpartum hair loss just the hair on our heads but not the hair elsewhere on our bodies??

    Hot wax. I’m going to try hot wax on my chin and see if that stops the chin growth. 

    Last nights SNL skit spoke to me so much . Especially chin hair episode.

    Eyebrow hair thins as you age, the over plucking myth is just that. Hormones, thyroid issues- lots of things affect brows.

    Chin hairs are the worst, they grow when we aren’t looking, and they are frightening!

    Petty as it seems, my main worry about falling into a coma is growing a full-on ginger ‘tache and beard. (I’m medically fine, just an over thinker). I had a buddy back home where we promised to do each other’s coma waxing but now I’m overseas, I don’t have one!

    YES. I am lucky to only have one really bad unwanted facial hair, but it grows from the exact same hair follicle that I have plucked every couple weeks for decades.

    How? How is it still there?

    You can essentially over pluck anywhere; it might just be that your eyebrows’ follicles got damaged and is taking a while to recover. You can try electrolysis on your chin, which permanently damages the follicle and thus prevents hair regrowth.

    I am seriously considering electrolysis or laser treatments. 

    They come in sharp and pokey, no matter how I rid myself of them I get ingrown hairs and as a result constantly have acne on my chin.

    I really hate the chin hairs and I think it would be worth the money to have permanent hair removal.

    The chin ones grow like bamboo. Just when you think you’ve got them all, the next day there are 4-5 more.

    The worst is whenever you bring up this topic, there’s at least one person “maybe you have pcos” no, I do not have pcos. Otherwise, everyone has pcos.
