She is now doing the laser treatment and it is working great. Over the long term it will be cheaper then waxing. <BR/><BR/>I have one dark hair that grows out from where I had a mole removed and one course white hair. The rest of my facial hair is white and fine.Bella Foxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348005370926157490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-46830030930070162502009-01-06T20:23:00.000-06:002009-01-06T20:23:00.000-06:00On the other side of the coin, I'm losing a lot of...On the other side of the coin, I'm losing a lot of the hair on my head which is aggravating.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2176805307442675187.post-23023162955430388832009-01-06T20:22:00.000-06:002009-01-06T20:22:00.000-06:00I have two persistent witches hairs that keep grow...I have two persistent witches hairs that keep growing on my chin.

You start out with a few hairs, the electrologist treats them, but you continue to grow more (unrelated to the first few, except for the reason they grew).

I do believe it's the hormone thing but then I also wonder about the fact that I don't have to shave my underarms or legs as frequently as when I was younger yet I have that facial hair thing going on, too.
