Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin

I don't know when and I don't know how but at some point my DNA morphed into some sort of billy goat hybrid.  I started getting these really coarse hairs on my chin.  They lack pigment (Thank God!) so for the most part they are left unseen to the world. Except on  rare occasions when the perfect beam of sunlight hits them and they act as a prisms, lighting the pathway to old age.  Even if the are unnoticed,  I know they are there.  They have become a defiant foe that I seem to battle nightly. Plucking and pulling.

Sometimes people think I am in deep thought or mediation as I appear to be listening to something intently while gently stoking my chin.  The truth is I am plotting my attack for the upcoming battle.

I have been winning.

But one day as I stroked my chin I felt this incredibly long hair.  No joke, it was over an inch long.  How could this have happened right before my very eyes?  I had been so diligent at keeping them at bay and making sure my inner troll was secret from the outside world.

In my state of horror,  I told my husband about it.  He looked at me kind of blankly and said, "Oh yeah I know. Did you want me to tell you about them."  

WHAT!  He knew it was there and said nothing.  Have I had spinach in my teeth for the last seven days too?  YES, you tell me!  

So please, if you have a friend out there suffering from EWHG (Extremely Weird Hair Growth), tell them.

We all have to help each other out. :)

I guess I must adopt Janette Barber's philosophy.  She says, " I refuse to think of them as chin hairs.  I think of them as stray eyebrows."

Namaste

Krissy my dear - it only gets worse!!! At 57 I am daily using an electric shaver! Get laser if it has color - otherwise it won't take when you are older! Good Luck!
