This week Jacqueline Lunn asks, are you finding sneaky growths of hair that never used to exist as you get older?



Read Jacqueline’s column here and discuss below...

I laughed when I read the article over lunch today - and wondered when you will write about 'the moment' - because - hate to tell you - it comes later. At first you have a couple of experiences like the one you described.....then there is a sort of respite period....which you attribute to slow re-growth because you plucked the offending hairs out....and you may see a few stragglers from time to time.....and then one day....brace yourself for this....you look at your face in the mirror WITH YOUR GLASSES ON AND IN SUNLIGHT....and discover practically a beard....and then you have THE MOMENT.....which is the moment you realise the answer to a question that has always been your mind: 'why don't older women pluck out their ugly chin hairs?' Suddenly you know the answer! It is that synonymous with the appearance of these hairs is also deterioration of eyesight.....so those poor women don't attend to this rougue growth...BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SEE IT!!!!!
Peace and vision to us all.

Gosh if only I had just ONE hair on my chin to worry about

All jokes aside, it is one of the most embarrasing things I have to deal with on a daily basis... I have tried everything to get rid of my chin hair..I simply refuse to let it grow long enough for waxing. and its just not right for a woman to have to shave everyday to still feel like a woman!!

know the feeling i pluck never shave

my nephew calls me aunty wippersnipper lol
becaues i have a man mow a little one
there is more to life then for me to be worried about the fuzz on my face
thanks god no one sees my A#S lol

I'm a teacher of 6 yr olds and I'm usually conscious of the forest on my face, but there is nothing so subtle as a child asking why you have a mo like their father. It is always a battle that will frustrate women for many years to come.
