You ladies are fantastic! You make me feel so much better. I thought I was the only one to have no leg hair but more hair on my face than ever thought possible. And how come the hair on my head is getting thinner and thinner while my eyebrows, upper lip, nose and chin look like an ad for the after shot of one of those hair replacement centers? Nair works well on upper lip but you have to be careful on the timing, easy to leave a red rash which is just as bad as hair, maybe worse, especially when it scabs. My tweezer is my best friend/enemy. Waxing hurts. Self waxing hurts more. Ladies, my arms are open to hug you all in sisterly embrace and laughter.

So now we know why all those bald (and balding) men grow those dark beards! :lol:

Oh gosh...I'm sooo happy that I'm not alone! I hate those wild hairs!!! I tried that cream and it only left my wallet lighter and my skin broken out. I couldn't tell any difference in the hair growth. It doesn't stop it anyway, just supposed to "slow" it. Whoopi....:roll:

I'm going to invest in those lighted tweesies next....LOL!

I also bought a mirror. I'd say pluck!

My DIL does esthetics, she has already been hired, should I ever be too "Out of it" to do it myself. I told her she better be keeping all hair growth under control

the old chin hair until I had cataract surgery and
then when I looked into the mirror........... I must
have been blind before the surgery!!!! ha ha ha

I SO get this! I was stopped at a red light once, and happened to have the sun roof open on the car, and when I glanced in the rearview mirror the sunlight coming through lit up all kinds of things (gray hair at temples, sporadic whiskers, hairy mole) that I swear I had never seen in the mirror before.

Thanks ladies - it feels so good to know I'm not alone!
