Y——I———K———E——S! A chin hair. What in the hell is happening to me? Not just an itty bitty tiny baby hair either... I discovered it and thought, “Oh my Gosh, why didn’t anyone tell me I had an inch long chin hair growing out of my face?? Was this a joke? Did my husband want to say “ah-honey- shave!!!” It is like an escapee clingy booger nobody wants to point out.

I just turned 41 and there I was in the beauty shop getting my blonde hair foiled and I said, “What’s up with my eyebrows?” She replied, “They need to not only be tweezed, but clipped.” “Clipped? This is a new phenom,“I thought.

She said, “and I’ll get that chin hair while I’m at it.” I almost died. Chin hair????

I have chin hair and eyebrows that need to be clipped?

“Welcome to your forties!!” she exclaimed. Hair everywhere and your 36D’s become 38Longs. You don’t have a moustache though. You are lucky there.

A moustache too?

She was washing the foils out and it got worse.

We were still talking and the lady next to me said, “I have chin hair too.” and then the lady came from behind the curtain and said she did too. It was like the secret society of chin haired professionals was having a gathering that night.

This must be one of those taboo topics that people just don’t talk out loud about but rather hide in shame in their bathroom with their zappers, tweezers, wax and prayers.

OMG.

“Honk if you have chin hair”

- The really bad part is that at forty-something, you can no longer focus your old eyes on that chin hair to tweeze it yourself.
  
  My eyebrows aren’t so bad except for the snow white hairs that are finding their way in. I can’t figure out why I have no gray hair at all, but my eyebrows are going white????
