ladies, do you have to remove your facial hair? will you admit it if you do? I do, I have to remove my moustache at least every 1 and a half weeks, its a right pain in the backside. What about you?

have a mole on my chin that grows thick black hair that I pluck every other day. other than that I do not have facial hair. I agree that it is a pain, and it can be embarassing if I forget or miss one and notice it in the middle of my day.

Yes - I have to remove facial hair ('tache) every 1 1/2 - 2 weeks. Hair removal is so annoying - legs, under arms, eyebrows and of course moustaches. It is also annoying having to pretend to men that you don't have to remove excess hair, when in fact all women have to.

I don't have facial hair... I used to have Black heads on my nose but I don't know if that's considered as facial hair but it's gone now. It never came back after I used those peel-offs you put on top of your nose like sticky tapes and peels off your black heads. And it has been so long since I have lost it.

Hmm, my facial hair is thin and light-colored, but once in awhile I will get a darker and longer hair that I pluck out with tweezers. Also, it's a bit funny, because my sister, who is almost 4 years older than me, and I both get two or three long dark wiry hairs that grow on our chins, and we pluck them out, of course. I have seen women who have a great deal of facial hair, and sometimes it's a bit much if you ask me, but I can imagine it is a pain to remove. If I grew a lot of facial hair, you bet your booty I would be doing something to remove it or at least try to dye it -- but who wants long blond facial hair either? I guess I would shave it or use one of those things that are sensitive and designed to remove hair from sensitive areas...

dont shave it! that only makes it darker and thicker. I dont get people that dye it, just cos its a different colour doesnt mean its gone!

The problem with facial hair, even light fuzz, is that it really shows when you're wearing makeup...unless I'm not using the right kind. I have some fuzz which I chemically remove every once in awhile. I don't wear makeup every day so it's not a high priority for me...especially since I'm over 50 so I'm expected to have at least some.

I bleach my upper lip monthly and pluck hairs out of my chin whenever I see them, it is a pain. I'm thinking of getting a home electrolysis kit as that kills the hair permanently so I'd never have to pluck them again.

i thought about that too.

Yes, I have to remove facial hair too, I have to do it at least every week and a half or so, and I admit its a pain too. I wished I didn't have any kind of hair at all except for whats on my head of course..lol. I hate having to shave my legs, I admit I don't shave as much during the winter but during the summer I have to do it every other day, I wear shorts, and I don't want anyone to see my hairy legs even my hubby..haha.

I hate facial hair, I will admit, that every few days I have to remove a few strands from my chin, and its quite embarassing. When I was a teenager I found one single peice of hair one each side of my chin, and instead of just plucking it with a pair of tweezers, I was embarassed, so I took my mom's shaver and shaved them both off, and now, because of it, I have a few more strands on both sides of my chin, and they are darker and thicker than they were back then, its quite noticable and if I let it go more than 5 days without plucking them, they get long and really dark and u can see them easily ! Its gotten so bad in the last few years that I'm actually contemplating going for laser hair removal when I can afford it, since I heard that is permenamt.

I have little facial face so I remove them, it's not a big deal of admitting it or no.

Thank heavens no. But I'm fair haired, so things like that don't show too much. I haven't shaved my legs in over a year, but they're really smooth. Wearing jeans all the time, I guess it wears it off!! Who knew? I sure didn't. But even my hubby keeps asking me why I shave so often. (Ha!! I ain't telling my secret!)

Only hair which I remove from my face is couple of hairs from my eyebrows. I like thick eyebrows so I don't remove too many. I do it 2-3 times a month. Luckily no other hair has to be removed from my face, I am not a very hairy person. I do remove hair from other parts of my body, like legs, under arms and a bikini zone.
