i have been taught, by some traditionalist healers.. that this chin-hair in women, is in direct relationship with OVARIAN over-exertion. particularly, just before pregnancy, or just after delivery... or, if there is a disease ...like, a cyst, or tumor in the ovaries.. women tend to sprout hair on their chins and upper lips.
this I cannot prove.. but, I would suggest you to visit a gyno .. or your routine general practitioner/doctor.. and rule out any abdominal, uterine trouble.
thanks for the reading!

I think a lot of women have this problem, but are too embarassed to say anything about it. My mom has some sprouting from her chin, too, so don't worry about it. I most likely will have the same problem when I get a little older, but I'm okay with that. What were tweezers made for?

You are not alone. My sister, the nurse, says it's a hormone thing. There's a cure, an expensive one, but there is a cure. Laser hair removal. The reason it's so expensive is it takes more than one visit to get rid of it forever. I had it done once and it does takes quite a while for it to grow back. If you do decide to try this, shave before you go. It seems to work better.

I too get chin hair as well as hair on my upper lip. I shave every three days to get rid of it, but it keeps on coming back. I am not sure what else to try besides laser surgery (I know this is expensive). I also get hairs on my neck.

You are not alone. I have a few hairs that keep growing in. I pluck them out when they show up since it's only a few. There are alternatives. You can have lazer hair removal which can be expensive. There are facial depilatory creams. Waxing is also available in most salons. I think we just have to accept that we cannot change the fact we have facial hair and pick a solution we can live with.
