Chin Hair and Weight Loss?

[LoserMama 37]

Another one in the hairy face club. Like a prior poster, I am watching groupons. therew as just one in my area that was a great deal, but I wasn't quite ready so soon after surgery to give it a go.

i definitely want to try it.

DO NOT TWEEZE! your making everything worse. Shave instead of tweezing. I've had lazer removal and saw a big difference. I would of continued but It's not cheap and I wasn't working at the time. I haven't had WLS yet but the lady that did lazer removal told me tweezing is the worse thing someone can do to remove their chin hair.

I think shaving actually made mine get as bad as it is. I was 26 when I started getting hair under my chin. I was mortified. Started tweezing and it was a case of having to it maybe every couple weeks. Then I went on vacation to Florida with some friends, forgot my tweezers. We were getting ready to head down to the beach, and I could feel a couple of hairs. Neither friend had tweezers and I didn't feel like killing time trying to find a shop that sold them, so I shaved and decided to just do everything from the sideburns down. Big mistake!! The next morning I woke up to all this stubble, everywhere. Full on 5 o'clk shadow. I looked like I was trying to bring the 80s Miami Vice stubbly look back in style! My one "friend" noticed and made fun of me the rest of the week, calling me Goat Girl. Sufficient to say, we are not friends any more, and I will never take a razor to myself again. Too afraid that with the rate it's grown ever since that I'd wake up looking like ZZ Top. I'm convinced that shaving did something that mad my hair follicles go into overdrive.

I've tried to not worry about it but I can't help it. And then the one time I was holding my friends daughter and she was looking at my chin then said "you've got whiskers like my daddy!". Right in front of a table full of people! Wanted the ground to swallow me whole on the spot.

So now, I get up in the morning early, move around for about an hour then gave a shower, wash my face really well, keep a hot wash cloth to 'steam' my face and keep the skin soft (the hairs tweeze a lot easier, thus I don't seem to get as many ingrowns and when I do they aren't as bad as when I tweeze on "cold" skin) then go over my face with the emjoi, follow up with tweezers in a lighted agnifying mirror, apply some Pro-Active anti-acne, and pray that the hair follicles on my face just die! once the pro-active sinks in and dries I put on my makeup and do my hair.

It's very time consuming. I spend over an hour every morning between the time I finish showering and head out the door. I'm too self conscious to NOT go thru this every morning, and similar at night, minus the make up and hair! Lol

i am hoping for some relief in this. I've never shaved my face (but i do shave my mustache, it's faint, but it's bugg, and it's covered in fuzz, partially cuz i was a premie and that can be a side-effect, the rest from PCOS. I have noticed an increase in the darker, more stubborn hairs over the past few years, and i just pluck. My husband doesn't seem to care about the fuzz, I'm sure all the freakout about these hairs is me, but i really do hate them. Ive never let my husband see me pluck them. Also, i'm a skin-picker, it's my nervous outlet, so having those hairs is like fuel to the fire. I hope it slows maybe...

And the hair on the head...It almost all fell out not long after i went through puberty. It came back, but never like it was prior...i don't seem to be losing anymore since, except after my hysterectomy last winter. I lost a lot after that, and it all came back silver.

I have extremely bad hair growth. At one point I had to shave twice a day. I got laser hair removal and it helped but because my hormone imbalance wasn't corrected, the hair is still pretty bad. I'm planning on getting laser again after I'm at my goal weight.
