I'm trying to figure out how the hairs can tell the difference between being pulled out by tweezers or wax...... And I don't understand the connection between spearmint and chin hair, but spearmint tea is tasty so I'll give it a try. The worst part about my 60th birthday was finding two black hairs growing out of my chin. Now I wish it was only two....

Well, I drank spearmint tea until I started to turn green. I think it made the growth a little finer but didn't stop it completely. I have to admit I started with 2-3 cups per day but lately I am lucky if I remember to drink 1 a day.
Maybe you have to be younger to make this cure effective? I've been fighting this for over 20 years.
I had electrolysis (it didn't work, I think it made the problem worse) and laser (it worked a little, but the dr. got rid of the machine before I had enough treatments to stop the growth completely, after nearly $1000 in fees...)
and even hormone therapy (didn't like the side effects) So I guess I'll just live with it...sigh....

| Yes, I pluck also. I keep tweezers in my purse and if I feel one, they come out. I can't stand them. I think mine multiply as I remove them. |

| Laser treatments work best when there's high contrast -- like very dark hair against fair skin -- to give the laser something to focus on, or whatever. Whatever you do, don't shave. The regrowth will look awful. Something like Nads (there's a DIY recipe somewhere on our forum, I think) is probably the most cost-effective answer. |

Winona, I am a Master Cosmetologist. I am also 51 with the same problem you have. I have been waxing my lip, chin, and eyebrows for about 10 some odd yrs...it really helps and makes the hairs softer and less....You can go to a Sallys Beauty Supply and get a small wax pot and strips...just be careful and dont put the wax on to hot...this is more economical for you in the long run. I had someone to do this for me when I worked in a salon....I hate to say this but they burned me. So I do it myself. Then you can do it when you want to. You might have topluck a few inbetween waxing...but that isnt to bad...Make sure you let the haor grow about 1/4 in. you will get it all if you do so. If you have any questions just ask...
Good Luck
Deborah
