My toes have a tiny bit of hair on them as well but not that much, I don't bother with them. Actually if I look closely, my fingers do as well but you can barely see it. |

I get sideburns, a little bit of a mustache, a few wirey hairs that grow out of my chin, and a patch of hair on the underside of my chin. Left to grow, my eyebrows almost meet in the middle and the part that should end just past my eyes keeps growing down almost to the tops of my cheekbones. I usually pluck stray hairs off and use hair removal cream for the larger patches of hair. Considering how hairy my face gets, you can probably imagine what the rest of me looks like... sometimes I feel like mother nature couldn't decide what gender to make me, so gave me a woman's body shape and a man's hair growth.  |

| Although I don't seem to have any hormonal problems (as told by my doctors and female gynecologist) I have these disgusting dark hairs sprouting out all over my chin and on my upper lip. I'm fair-skinned and my hair is quite thick and dark, which is great on my head but not all the other places it grows. I find few things uglier and less female than facial hair, but plucking and waxing is painful, hair removal creams stink and burn, and shaving makes the hairs come in ingrown. I haven't' tried bleaching yet, but I don't know if that would be safe and bleaching kits probably cost a ridiculous amount of money. |

| I have had dark thick hair on my chin since I was 16 (I'm 22 now). I also have darkish hair on my upper lip, and I have a "happy trail". It all seems to get worse as I get older. I tweeze my chin at least every two days. I also have hormone issues. I went to the doc to get my hormone levels checked and they said it was in the normal range. But I think every individual's normal range is different. I also get pretty severe acne on my chin, which is caused by hormones, or so my dermotologist says. |

| I have light coloured hair on my upper lip. I've had that since I was at least 10. I am so glad it's not dark. Someone I used to know, had dark hair on her upper lip. |

I get my eyebrows waxed, but that is it.
When I was about 10, some boy at school said I had a "mustache" and I didn't obviously, so I shaved my face (and for now the hair is blond), and my arms and went everywhere on a shaving spree. Thankfully, I didn't do it a lot. |

heck yeah!
i have beautiful blonde side burns, mustache, (that gets darker every year).
in fact when my little man was about 2 , he one day sat on my lap, cupped my face in his little hands, looked lovingly into my eyes, and said.....
"Mommy, when i grow up, i wanna have a beard and mustache, Just like you!"
Bless his little heart!
too cute....... i still giggle about this! and he is now 11

i used to explain it away ( to my own self ) by sayin its cuz i'm south asian and most south asian / central asian / middle eastern women ARE in fact overly hairy, but its in "acceptable" places like arms, armpits and legs
i have random hair coming out of my twin peaks, on my chin and growing on my neck ! i have to pluck the hell out of myself w/ tweezers at least twice a month
i used to have very bad upper lip hair ; but laser therapy ( to the tune of 3 stacks ) removed it for good....
so ; yes it may be autism related WHO CAN TELL ? |

I've been blessed with good (if dark) eyebrows but I am afflicted with a fairly easy to control mustache ("stray brows" as my mother calls it) and an over all dark pigmentation to my body hair which combined with my frankly impractical paleness and strawberry blonde head of hair, is not the most feminine of looks.
I am a member a stereotypically hairy ethnic minority, the only upside is all the women in your family know how to deal with it and all the "nice boys" in your neighborhood are used to it because their mothers and sisters are the same. WASPy guys just don't understand, I have to be militant about the hair situation if I'm seeing one.
Doubt is related to autism because I'm the only autistic woman in my family.
I wonder maybe if autistic women are more likely to not / have issues dealing with it because of sensory / executive functioning issues.

that is an interesting question. a few aspie women i've met don't remove certain hairs. some leave the hair because they have gender identity issues, and others are just not that worried about it.
i tried waxing once and the sound made me feel quite ill, and i wonder if that was an aspie sensory issue. maybe not. but it sounded like velcro to me and it was very upsetting.

I have sideburns too, it's so annoying and unfair that I get all of this hair. I hate getting ready every morning and these obstacles don't help. I don't even bother with my sideburns anymore. I got my mum to help me get rid of them when I got my prom pictures taken. I wonder if a hairdresser would do it when I went there? |

I get my eyebrows and upper lip professionally waxed. I prefer to get them done professionally because I just can't get myself to do it at home. Plus, professionals do a really good job shaping your eyebrows. I can't even get my mum to do it because I'll complain too much but if a stranger in a professional setting does it, I just zip my lips. I find tweezing is more painful because it lasts longer. I'm used to getting my eyebrows done now and they're nowhere as nearly bad as getting your upper lip waxed. I have really sensitive skin so my face goes beet red when I get them done. One of these days I plan on getting laser hair removal. |

but.... if a professional does it... it would still make that velcro sound.  maybe if i wore headphones?

Yeah, that's actually a good idea. Just tell them that you can't stand the sound and just stick in your headphones and play music or wear ear plugs. |
