I also suffer from the excessive amount of hair. On my upper lip but mostly
on my chin. I shaved one time when I was in a hurry and boy did I screw up.
Now I can't pluck the hairs there are so many so I shave everyday, and it
is very embarrassing. My husband always wants to touch and carress my face
but I always move his hand because I don't want him to feel the stiff hairs.
It makes me very uneasy what can I do now that I have shaved for a year
now. Could I ever just not have hair buy doing something else or am i
doomed.
