is it normal for woman to grow dark hair on their neck and chins?
208720
As a woman gets older she undergoes hormonal changes.  Probably at the age of 25 some women start to notice this hair growth on their face, neck and chin.  Most women pluck these hairs as they appear and some women undergo electrolysis to have them removed.  It is just part of the wonderful things that happen to a woman's body as she ages.  If a woman has a hysterectomy; the process is sped up.  In today's society, people tend to prefer that women do not have these facial hairs.  There are over the counter products like Nair that remove these unwanted hairs but most of these chemicals leave burns.  Better yet, go to your local beautician and they will help you with your problem (That is if you consider it a problem.).  If the hair doesn't bother you.  Who cares what is socially acceptable.

Yea, something called acanthosis nigricans is the reason for the darkened skin under the arms, around the neck area, between the thighs, and occasionally in other areas. And yea, I'm experiencing the same things as well....weight fluctuating, and I have really serious menstrual pains. Are you getting treated for it? If not, you definately should. I went to an endocrinologist and got started on birth control pills to regulate your hormones. Hope it gets better!

It's not typical, but I suppose it could happen. If you've always had it and it hasn't grown or changed color you should be okay. Check with the doc if you're concerned.

The hair on the face and head are exposed to the sun the varying exposure conditions of the environments. The bodies metabolism is very week to stand that varying conditions it is subjected to. The roots are very week to take the heat of the sun and due to this the pigments of the hair changes into Grey.

Yes, your muscles tighten up, especially around your neck and head, cutting down the circulation of the blood. Really kills the hair folicles. Do some stretching exercises every day to keep the muscles loose and the blood flowing.

there is no particular part of Ireland that has red hair, it is a Celtic trait that Irish people have either red hair or a red tint in their hair , you could find that someone with black or brown hair could have a red shine in their hair , this is part of our heritage, i have black hair but if i let my beard grow it grows half black half red and this happens a lot of Irish guys its a Celtic trait not specific to any one part of Ireland but to the entire Celtic race

My wife has no visible body hair in those areas.  Some do, some don't.  If it's very light hair it doesn't show unless the light hits it right.  but no, not all women have visible body hair.

If you have just started getting facial hair, then it might not be a good thing. Its called hirsutism and might be part of a condition called PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome..other symptoms to look out for are obesity, and  irregular mentrual periods. You should definitely talk to your doctor about it even if the hirsutism ends up being benign, atleast you will know. He will check your DHEA levels..

The unshaven look has it's sex appeal, but it's rough on our faces and other areas.  So, she'll be asking you to shave soon.  I really have this thing about hands-they have to look masculine.  I also really love a man with deep dark eyes.  Looks will only get you so far, though.  Women like to be pampered with a chance to be independent also.  We like it when you make us laugh, but make sure you're sympathetic when we need a shoulder to cry on.  Don't try to fix our problems for us, just listen to them... trust me, it will save you a lot of trouble!  Good luck!

Hair loss during pregnancy is uncommon. If hair loss is severe or occurs in round or oval patches, consult your doctor. This may be due to a vitamin or mineral deficiency.\n\nPregnancy-related hair loss most often occurs several months after delivery. During pregnancy, an increased percentage of hairs are in a growing phase and normal shedding of hair declines. After a woman gives birth, a large number of follicles shed hair at once. Although unsettling, this hair loss is temporary. Hair typically returns to its normal fullness and growth cycle within a few months.

Well, I wouldn't call it normal, but it isn't all that bad a thing either. I have a friend who is in your exact situation, but he's very proud of it. You should be too. And you never know, the rest of your body might just "grow" into it in a couple of years.

Most women suffer excessive hair thinning at some time in their lives. Often it follows child-birth and occasionally an illness. Stress can induce hair loss as can dieting or a poor diet generally. \n\nChanges in the hormone levels in the body causes some thinning of the hair in more than half of all women in this country and still more have hair loss in the form of breakage due to the use of poor quality hair products. \n\nIn many cases it is temporary and the hair will grow back normally without, any help. In others, however, the excessive hair fall, if not treated, will lead to permanent baldness. \n\nSo it is vital that the cause of the problem is discovered and the disorder corrected \n\n\nHAIR LOSS CAUSED BY HORMONAL IMBALANCE \n\nBy far the most common type of hair loss experienced by women is that caused by the effect of certain hormones upon the hair \n\nThese hormones enter the hair cells and pre-vent them from growing as well as they should, this results in the characteristic thinning on the front and top of the scalp. The scalp begins to grow finer hairs and the scalp becomes more visible. There is usually a general loss of "condition" resulting in the hair becoming lank and difficult to control. \n\nThis form of hair loss affects 10% of women between the ages of 18-40, 25% by the age of 50 and a staggering 60% by the age of 70. In many women it is a minor problem and is easily disguised, but other women find it very distressing and lose their self confidence and self esteem. \n\nIn the past nothing could be done to prevent this problem occurring but now there are substances which can stop the hair from thinning and can produce a better quality of hair in most women. The treatment consists of using a very low level (and perfectly safe) hormone cream and lotion which are applied externally to the affected region of the scalp. \n\nAs with most disorders, the earlier the treatment is started the better the results are likely to be. Approximately 30% of people visiting the Trichological Centre are women who suffer from this hair loss problem. \n\n\n\nIn virtually every case the hair loss is stopped and the hair growth greatly improved. It is a safe and inexpensive method of combating an all too common and distressing problem. \nA hair in the follicle.

This is particularly true when it comes to our hair. our hair is affected by what we eat, or do not eat. At the Trichological Centre we constantly see the results of poor diets and crash dieting. \n\nBasically, hair has no useful function. The body can work just as well whether it has hair or not. So if the body is short of any nutrient, protein, mineral, iron etc; it will divert these from the hair to nourish the more important body organs. The result can be a Diffuse Hair Loss \n\nLow iron levels (which may not be true clinical iron anaemia) can cause a marked thinning of hair and women are more susceptible to this because of the loss of iron in the blood due to menstruation. Vegetarian diets can cause hair loss unless specific attention is given to the balance of proteins and iron rich foods. \n\nThe best advise for producing healthy hair is eat a well balanced diet, of protein, carbohydrates and minerals. Go easy on processed and convenience foods. \n\nA Trichologist can help you in this area by making sure there are no specific foods in your diet which are causing problems. \n\nSTRESS RELATED HAIR LOSS. \n\nStress is blamed for causing all types of problems, some times this is true, sometimes it is not. We all suffer from "highs and lows," in our lives. It is important that body stress levels are kept as low as possible. It may not be possible to remove the cause of our stress but there are ways that we can learn to cope with it successfully. \n\nHair loss and stress are inexorably linked. \n\nThere is reasonable scientific e

The darker your pigmentation, the thicker and darker your hair is going to be. It`s a genetic trait. Most people have the same amount of hair.\nA very light colored blond will have just at much hair, but it is much much thinner and lighter so not nearly as obvious.
