Hi Cazikins

The Nono, is like a razor gadget thingy advertised on tele.
When you said you've got a gadget thing, I thought that was it.....😃😃

[CLKD]

I have a small hair in the middle of my chin where a dimple would be ....... it's annoying me 

[jillydoll]

I must admit, I did pluck a brown small hair off my top lip area
this morning!
I saw it in the mirror, and thought, RIGHT, you little blighter, your gone!! 😂😂😂

[CLKD]

That reminds about the 2" long black one I pulled earlier from my right cheek: OUCH! with roots on 

[CLKD]

Genetics ?

So has anyone had experience of chin hairs improving on hrt? I always had enviably clear skin but now the whole area looks a little grey as the hairs prepare to sprout from under the surface. As soon as they appear I want to pluck and then I have to occasionally dig to get them out.

I was in a meeting last week and could see another attendee mesmerised by the state of my chin. Just started hrt so can I expect this to improve do you think? I currently have 30 to 40 hairs in varying thicknesses inhabiting my poor chin.

Morning!  I enjoy pulling out hairs   

My chin looks grubby if I don't use the tweezers and occasionally I see, out the corner of my eye, a longer black one 

How would you like to deal with those on your chin?

[CLKD]

Oh bless him.  Did he pull the curtain round for dignity 

I could see in the mirror that both sides of my face have long dark hairs as well as soft fluff ........ DH tells me that no one looks that closely but I know it's there

Mine are worse on HRT but I'm not sure why?

Mine are not always dark, but are like yard broom bristles, and I swear they are welded onto my chin bone.  I will gently pull on a barely visible (but intensely irritating) ****le until it gives way and it is always several times longer than could have been imagined.

I have had some luck with using dispersible asprin as a skin scrub on my chin to rid me of the lumps from the unerupted bristles, and Savlon healing gel afterwards to stop it getting so red and sore.

My pores are not looking good - never had this problem before.

Taz, I wonder if the problem on HRT is that one has enough oestrogen, so some of that will be converted to testosterone in the adrenals?

[CLKD]

Testosterone is the hairy hormone 

I have some that must be curled round under the skin as they are SO long  and stiff ..........

[Sparkler]

The most amazing thing......apart from having a whole new hobby ‘chin maintenace' Is that they grow so quick at times. Dot to 4mm overnight!!! It would look great in time lapse photography.

I have 2 that ‘never' come out cleanly. They ingrow every time and leave scars. Attractive huh? But the least of our problems in the dreaded monsterpause years.

 

[CLKD]

It amazes me that I can have a look-see and try to pull hairs in the morning - it takes however, until mid-afternoon B4 they are long enough for me to get a grip of them 

DH tells me off for excavating my chin 'cos I can't leave any that need squeezing in order to get a grip!

[dahliagirl]

Yes 

[CLKD]

That's very technical Stellajane ...........
