(g) There are a few people I'd wish my chin hair on. (g) That would be cruel and unusual punishment. HAHAHAHA I wonder if there is a spell for that. My luck, it would probably backfire, and the few hairs I have there now would multiply until I was truly bearded.<br /><br />One of my friends did laser treatment. She said it helped a lot, but if it doesn't work with the transparent kind, well, I have a lot of those. It would be pretty pointless then.

I had enough that my doctor sent me to an endocrinologist to see if I had a hormonal problem. I don't - it's apparently genetic. Sigh. <br /><br />I finally tried laser hair removal a few years ago. It did help quite a bit. It works reasonably well if you have a light complexion and the hairs you want to get rid of are dark. But d*mn, it hurts. And you don't do it just once - it takes 6-8 sessions because it only hits folicles at certain points in their cycle. <br /><br />And it won't touch those annoying stiff hairs that don't have pigment. I'm still plucking them. Or just shaving. Apparently there's nothing to the advice that if you shave them they grow faster, at least according to the hair removal technician.<br /><br />Wish I could send some of them to my friends who worry about their too-thin beards....Kathryn Scannellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717480772265142293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-45588696855733778342011-05-21T01:07:26.605-07:002011-05-21T01:07:26.605-07:00I am so seriously going to go get threaded. :DI am so seriously going to go get threaded. :DJudith Legerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02997747703670815073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-91413373203570761742011-05-21T01:06:35.192-07:002011-05-21T01:06:35.192-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Judith Legerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02997747703670815073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-34497004452914042432011-05-20T14:38:29.081-07:002011-05-20T14:38:29.081-07:00Supposedly, Janice, tweezing makes the hair follic...Supposedly, Janice, tweezing makes the hair follicle bigger. So your hair becomes coarser and coarser each time you tweeze. At least, that's what I've heard. However, I'm not giving up my tweezers. (g) You and I could join the circus together if I did that.

(g) I have these awesome pair of tweezers. They are old and have a handle like scissors. The tips are flat, and they grip even the smallest hairs--well, most of the time. They are great! I've had mine for years (high school).

Really! When I was very young, I was kicked in the face by a horse. Luckily, it's hoof just clipped my chin instead of making full connection. So, with the end of my chin a mess, I had to endure some minor surgery, stitches, and a few follow-up surgeries due to infection. Now, I have a Y scar on my chin that looks like it was squished and thats where about three translucent and very prickly hairs grow now. I have a special pair of tweezers I purchased for that purpose (not to mention my father gave me his lovely unibrow gene, so I have that plucking task every week) and if my tweezers come up missing, holy hell breaks loose, lol.Faith Bicknellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978240749619858463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-63429061075606146142011-05-19T15:49:00.869-07:002011-05-19T15:49:00.869-07:00I wonder that about my eyesight, too.

I want to get electrolisis but people tell me it doesn't work (WTH? I WANT it to! Sign me up!) Then my doctor informed me that it's a good thing. (He's a man - I managed to not smack him). He showed me a study done that women with hair issues have higher sex drives. Uh huh... My response - "But who wants to sleep with a woman with 7 pairs of tweezers???" He laughed. He said "Have you met many men? If you wear a low cut top they won't be looking to see if you have any tiny hairs growing on your chin." LOL!!! Okay...so I ended up laughing and liking the guy.
