Why do I have chin hair that keeps growing back in the same spot?

“Every woman you know fights a life battle against a single hair in the chin.” That viral tweetRecently written by the actress Standing Julia Claire, has collected more than 41,000 likes and count – so it seems that she could be on something.

Hey, we were certainly there. Sometimes it turns out that you realize in the mirror and suddenly there is chin hair right thereIn all his glory, beyond the same place where he always appears mysteriously, even if you can swear that you have torn off this miller as a month ago.

The answers to Claire’s tweet may have been just as relatable as the original thought: “You never see it growing up. It is freshly torn off 3 inches long,” tweeted a person. “This thing is not of this kingdom. The dark forces summon it overnight because I cannot accept that it has grown up all this time and I did not notice it until it is in the length of Rapunzel,” added another.

That said, it is also very good if you prefer to remove one of your body hair, including those on your chin which apparently germinates during the night. The chin hair may seem different and even harder than other hairs on your face, and there is a reason for that. Hair on your body can generally be divided into two camps: Véllus’s hairs, which are generally lighter, thinner and smaller (fishing fuzz); And the terminal hairs, which are darker, thicker and longer.

Your body – including your face and your neck – is covered with Véllus hair, but sometimes Véllus’s hair can be transformed into terminal hair, a certified dermatologist on the board of directors IFE J. Rodney, MD, FAAD, founding director of eternal dermatology and aesthetics and dermatology teacher at Howard University and George Washington University. The culprit, she says, is generally testosterone; Everyone has this hormone in their body, but some people produce more than others and the hair follicles of each person react to different levels of hormones differently. CIS women “mainly have Véllus hair with very few thick black hairs on the face,” said self.
