So when did I start getting nose hairs??? :o(

BAM

Cathlete
O.K., the past few weeks have created horrible stress and it will be getting worse before it gets better. I haven't been able to read the boards like I want, which usually is a nice distraction. So amongst all the stress, I'm really pondering this question. When the *ell did these nose hairs start popping up and how obvious has it been to others? (I must really be stressed to be talking about this. :eek: ) I went out with this guy about 2 years ago and he had a couple of the LONGEST hairs hanging out of his nostrils that I think I've ever seen. I didn't go out with him long enough to find the right moment to bring this up. Of course how do you bring it up except maybe buying a nose hair trimmer as an if you want to continue seeing me, then use this, present. :p I've been gifted with near sightedness. Yes, it is a gift because you can scrutinize every pore, blackhead, pimple needing to be popped, the caked make-up, on your face that can be difficult for far sighted people to see. (I feel bad for them because they don't know why I approach some of them with my fingers in "squeeze" mode, lol.) Of course I couldn't see the face of a robber in my house if I couldn't find my glasses. Ah yes, life is a trade off. I think I'm digressing here. (Just remember my stress level. :7 ) Anyway, back to the subject at nose, I mean hand. So you'd think with my keen ability to spot any abnormalities at close range, I'd see something sprouting out of my nasal apparatus, but nooooooooooooooooo and for how long have I not seen this? When the heck did these bloom and where have I been since? Do we not get them when we're teenagers? I don't ever remember looking at a teenager thinking, "those nose hairs must get in the way of their academic achievements." I don't get it. Why must this be? Why, why, why????? Are they going to be popping out of my ears next? Am I going to have to be twisting my ears in the mirror trying to see what may be blossoming? Why can't I get more hair on the top of my head where I'd appreciate it? I am not appreciating it where it's deciding to currently plant roots. If mother nature is playing a joke, I GET IT, I GET IT, now let the joke be over. I refuse to get any more. It's not going to happen. No! Not by the hair of my chinny, chin, chin! :eek: :eek: :eek: Achoooooo!

I can't speak to the nose hair issue (but of course I have my own issues). I just like the fact that you decided to ask a question many would be too embarrassed to ask (and you have a great sense of humor!).
Good luck...and don't turn into Bob Marley with the dreadlocks (that was a joke...please laugh!)

Hey, if that DOES happen, maybe I can use those hairs to transplant them where I want! O.K., NOW I've really lost it! :+

Our lives as Girls hey? Forever at the mercy of our hormones. Not sure how old you are but the inevitable ebb of estrogen allows our testosterone flow to come to the fore, hence our eyebrows start sprouting on our chins, upperlips, nose and, oh joy oh bliss, I'm starting to get sideburns! A couple of times a week I find a sunny/bright spot and settle in with my 7x magnifying mirror and tweezers to de-cultivate the latest hairy crop. I'm hoping to do the laser thing when my kids are grown and gone, man those kids are expensive!

Take Care
Laurie:)
 
I have made many a trip to my laser technician!:) Yes, I've been blessed with extra thermal wear but geesh, those treatments are expensive.x( I think women should get tax breaks for all the maintenance we need to have! :7

Honey, I don't go anywhere without a pair of tweezers. I'm serious; I have a pair within five inches of my left hand right now. Those hairs on my chin seem to just pop up out of nowhere. One minute nothing, the next, tiny little coarse hairs show up, leaving me thinking, "How long have they been there and who have I talked to lately who probably didn't listen to a word I was saying because they were so fixated on my chin follicles????"!!!!(oh, for the days when I was ticked off that men would look at my boobs instead of my face...Maybe, from now on, I should just scream, "LOOK AT MY BOOBS WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU, DAMN IT!!!")

AND for those loverly nose hairs, I'm on my second battery operated "personal" hair trimmer.

"I enjoy being a girl!!!"x(
 
This is, quite possibly, the funniest thread I've ever read! Honest to god, you guys are H.Y.S.T.E.R.I.C.A.L.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :)

BAM, you should be a writer, if you're not already. You are hilarious and your writing is so witty!

Anyhoo, much like TeTe, I am NEVER without a pair of tweezers. I have a couple stray hairs on my belly that I find need tweezing every couple weeks and my eyebrows are always acting up. If I go a week without tweezing them, I can barely see....

I don't have hair nose woes (yet!!!) but I sympathize with you. Take a pair of tweezers and go pluck those babies out!

Oh please! I have three black disgusting hairs that grow on my upper lip, I am always attacking them, they sprout up even after a good waxing!x( sick.

I have good eyebrows, so don't have to tweeze there very often, but that upper lip deal is pathetic. I used to have one black hair that grew out of my chin like a witch.}( I think I scared it away by tweezing so aggressively, its disappeared.;) :eek: or maybe it hasn't! I need to pull out my magnifying mirror now.

PS: I had a friend who had black hairs growing out of her nipple area.:) She was always tweezing those babies too.

Oh, and I have been known to attack nose hairs with tweezers, sheesh does that make your eyes water!!:7
 
Bam, when I saw this topic I was eating :7I laughed so hard that I almost chocked:7 I agree with Allison, this is funny but a real issue, for some. Confession I have nose hairs too popping out, they justed popped out one day, I was like huh!!! and NOW I noticed a GRAY hair on my chin, duh! WTH is going on.

My mother told me one day, I was younger WAYYYYYYYY younger, I believe I was complaining to her about something I noticed on my body; that wasn’t there when I went too bed. But she told me Trese, just keep getting up, in other words sh$$ happen.

Te-Te I never ever leave home without tweezers either or mynose trimmer. I’m 51 and wonder what the heck is next……………

Nice Thread:*
 
OMG this is so funny and so true! I just turned 40 and have been struggling with stray hairs and "grooming" my whole adult life.

We won't even go where I've been finding the gray hairs lately! :eek: x(

Tweezers are my best beauty friend too. When I had my appendix out I was in the hospital for 4 days without them and I was freaking out!
 
Bam,

I feel lucky that I don't have nose hairs.:) I don't have to shave my underarms anymore. From the knees down I still have to shave, but from the knees up, wow no garden there.:eek: I have tweezers in hand constantly, pulling out coarse hair on my chin and under the neck.x( Upper lip is great. But I have no eyebrows.:-( I have to paint those in. Luckily I'm an artist and if I want can make eyebrows where there is none.;-) It takes a lot of time, so I do that only when I go somewhere. But looking sideways you see no hair, only from the front view do you see mock eyebrows.:D Fortunately I've retired and don't have to do that from workforce point of view.

With all the other things us females have to put up with during our lives and then this happening to us as we start to age,;( (and in my case have aged) when it is all said and done, I'm asking God a lot of questions!:7

You guys are so funny, I've been laughing along with you all and with myself.:+

I feel your stress!
Several years ago, I noticed 'something' below my chin, off to the side, that I thought was a stray cat hair. I tried to brush it away...but it wouldn't move. Then I plucked at it, and found it was attached! To me! It was about 1/2 inch long, black and somewhat thick. I was appalled to think that other people might have seen it and said nothing! I tweezed it away, and kept an eye on that spot for future development. It came back once more, but after a second plucking, never showed up again (whew!).

As for nose hairs: it's probably not the best idea, but I pluck any that dare make an appearance outside of where I want them to be.
 
Awwwww, I feel so close to all of you! :7 Beavs, Kassia, Laurie, TeTe, Allison, Tneah, Teddygirl, Suzanne, Janie and Kathryn, you're all cracking me up! There's definitely comfort in numbers (and what a common bond we share.) :) Well, what the laser tech didn't accomplish, I do with wax, along with tweezing what the wax left behind. Yep, that wax even goes to the subject at hand. Wax is my second best friend (next to my helmet producing hairspray.) If I can see it, I can wax it. Wax on........wax off! Hmmmmm, I can only imagine where I could wax if I were a contortionist. Ahhhhh, to dream! Do ya think men gather around talking about the forest growing out of their ears and which nose/ear hair trimmer is on sale that week or which one of them needs to have their backs mowed? If so, I'd love to hear that conversation....that is as long as I don't have to do any of my own weeding in order TO hear! Oh, and ladies, check your neck, with a magnifying mirror, in the morning sun. That'll wake you up quickly! :p

Happy plucking!

My DH completely FREAKED when he found to long hairs coming out of his ear! It was so funny to me. He had me pulling them out w/tweezers. Ahhh what I do for love! I get 2 black hairs on my chin that have to be plucked every so often. They never go away, they always come back. One good thing about getting older, I am 35 gulp will be 36 tomorrow, is that I don't have to shave my legs as often anymore. And the hair is not thick like it used to be. I don't mind that so much cuz I hate shaving my legs.

I'm lucky in that I haven't had to shave my legs for years (somehow, after my hairier teens and early twenties, and using stuff like Nair, the hair just never came back). I do get some stray hairs at the ankle that I usually tweeze (or use one of those 'rip-the-hair-out-by-the-roots' automatic tweezer things by Emjoi on).
