    While I was getting ready this morning, I looked in the mirror to put some makeup on and noticed hair on my face. Its very blond, and like peach fuzz, but longer! I am hairy (I shave my feet, and my dad says I have elf ears because they are fuzzy) but I could grow a beard! (Ok, its not that bad, but still!) Please tell me I'm not the only girl out there like this, and what do I do about it?!?! Nair?

    Waxing, threading, electrolysis - lots of options depending on how much $ you're willing to spend and your tolerance for pain. I think generally Nair and tweezing aren't recommended for facial hair.

    If it's pale, though, it's probably not visible to anyone except you (and it sounds like you just noticed it now!) so I would leave it alone. It gets worse if you start doing hair removal.

    Who hasn't had that stray hair? Seriously, it's nothing to worry about :) I have this one place on my face, right on my chin, that grows one long gray hair ALL THE TIME. I've plucked the same place about 100 times! I'm not even gray, i'm only 21!

    I get stray super blonde hairs on my face and neck sometimes. The FH likes to point them out to me. Kind of embarrassing, but I just got into a habit of checking once a week and plucking them. I usually get maybe 2 or 3 a month or so.

    Its not one stray hair though!!! Its like side burns down to my chin, and thick!!! Blonde yes, but very thick and probably like an inch long! I've done those fuzz remover "shaver" things that don't really shave you, but its getting bad!!!! I'm going to look like a man with a 5 o'clock shadow at my wedding!

    Hi!  PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) can be a cause of unwanted hair, so you may want to get checked out by your doc, just in case.  For management, I would think waxing would be better than a chemical remover.  There's also a prescription hair minimizing cream called Vaniqua (sp?) that might help.  Good luck!
