Chin Hair - WTF?

(This is written at the request of and for my dear grade school friend Colleen)

As Colleen said to me recently in her southern accent, "Y'all need to write a piece about chin hair. WTF?"

She lamented that suddenly these hairs just kept sprouting up uncontrollably and without much notice.  And to make things even worse, as you reach middle age, they come out in shades of gray. I mean, really? Really?

Colleen is hair stylist and I am an extreme overuser of spa services/skin care treatments, so if there were a fix for this ailment, we'd have found it.  But we both agree, there is no real cure for this ill.  There are measures you can take, but there is no panacea.

First of all, I wouldn't shave. You do NOT want a grey beard coming back.You can't get laser unless they are (all) black, and most are not. So that isn't going to work.

Second I would wax, and this is what I do, but it will only last two weeks (tops), and you have to let the hair grow first (which is gross). And obviously, with all the other freaking things we have to do now to look good, it gets expensive.

Heather said it best. There is no other choice but to pluck, and pluck often.

Our advice?

Carry a good pair of tweezers in your car. For some reason, this is the best place to catch those guys and whip them out.

Sorry. We're still trying to find a solution on this one...

Welcome comments.

Best,
Christine
