Removing the hair from my chin

[majesticgoldenr]

I’ve been taking about 10 g of collagen every day for the past few months and it seems to be helping my hair and skin. I’m also becoming very self-conscious of the hair on my chin. In the spring one of my friends had commented that I ought to shave my chin and since then I’ve noticed that the hair on my chin is gotten more noticeable, at least to me. I would like to keep taking the collagen but I’m not sure the best way to remove the hair on my chin without it becoming thicker longer and more noticeable.

Would waxing my chin be a good idea?

That looks completely normal?? Everyone has hair on their face. I had to zoom all the way in to even see it. My boyfriend's mom has a literal beard.

I don't see anything odd about that either.

I would not touch it, I hardly noticed it as well. IMO the more you mess with it the worse it gets, whether it's darker regrowth or skin discoloration :/ That friend sounds sort of hyper-critical.

I also don't see any hair aside from the fine downy fluff everyone has.

I don't see it. There's a barely noticeable amount of fuzz, but nothing worth going after, and it wouldn't even be noticeable except that your picture is massively blown up and zoomed in closer than what people would get to your face normally.

My advice to people in general regarding waxing as well: unless your hair is incredibly dark and/or coarse, don't do it. By dark, I mean black hair against pale skin. I have bad genetics and dark and coarse hair on my chin and upper lip, so I do wax (I look like I'm trying to grow a goatee if I don't wax it), but I also pay for it by having acne there as a nearly direct side effect, and I also suffer regularly with ingrown hairs, that can become infected, and both acne and ingrown hairs can lead to scarring. So if it's not broke, don't fix it.

Also, go tell that friend to take a long walk off a short pier. Real friends do not trash their friends that way.

What hair?

I started sprouting hair on my chin (and the occasional wild long hair on my cheeks) when I went through menopause. Mine comes in dark, grey or white and is coarse. If I don't pluck or tweeze it, it is noticeable. We're talking if I didn't keep it under control, I'd have a goatee (no moustache, just a little beard) on my chin.

With all due respect, Majesticgoldenr, your friend doesn't know what he/she is talking about.

What hair? I don't see anything abnormal. I have about three hairs on my chin/neck which grow long and are obvious. I just shave them off.

I don't see a single hair there either :/ Don't wax your chin, if anything remove the single hairs that annoy you with tweezers, otherwise you will have more and more hair, and darker, each time (talking from personal experience).

The 2-3 very dark hairs on my chin are removed with tweezers everytime I feel them. I would only recommend tweezers for it, as Trees said.
