Chin Waxing

[AnnieDrews]

Anyone have any experience with chin waxing?

As I am aging, I am getting more and more chin hairs. Not the normal, fine hair all women have....but thick black or gray whisker-like hairs (ugh!). I've been plucking them for a long time but have wondered if waxing would be a good option. My eyes are terrible and sometimes I'll look in the mirror in my car and be shocked at how how many hairs show up in the sunlight. The only waxing I've ever done is my eyebrows (hair stylist does it each time I get a trim) and I love it.

Here are a few of my questions: When the hair starts growing back in, is it rough like beard stubble? How long between waxings?

I don't want to start it if I'm not going to be happy with it. I'm afraid if I stopped, the hair would come back in like a beard. Silly sounding, I know, but I've seen women with beards and moustaches!!

I have waxed my chin on and off for about a year. No beard yet but man the unsightly black hairs are disturbing. i have noticed that the home waxing stuff tends to dry out my skin. It is definately quicker than plucking that is for sure.

I started waxing instead of plucking because I had my wisdom teeth pulled and they clipped a nerve so I have that "my foot fell asleep and is now coming back to life painful needle feeling" on the left side of my chin so plucking is very painful.

I haven't noticed it coming in worse or more.

As someone with PCOS I have tons of experience with chin waxing. I use those prewaxed strips and do it about once every 4-6 weeks. The hair grows back much finer (at least for me) because when you wax the hair you are ripping it out by the root and so new babyfine hair grows to replace it.
