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.

heritage, genetics, life.  Any answer could give you many scientific ideas as to why your hair gets darker over time, even blondes sometmes have that happen.  It's just a mixture of things, like why someone's skin is darker, or lighter or like in my case, I'm in my 30's, I'm a male, and have no body hair.  So you'd have to think that there's many factors involved.

Long hair usta be considered inappropriate for women over 35-40.. But not any longer.. I would just have a good cut, or style and most definitely show no gray... \nI think gray roots are more of a downfall..\nGood Luck.

yes, it is a natural reaction. your body is trying to keep you warm by making your hair grow. it is just like when the hair on your arms stand up when you are cold. It drives me crazy because I get cold easily and I have to shave like a million times a day.

just start shaving anyway, you will be shaving off the peachfuzz so to speak and then the more you shave it, the thicker the hair will grow and it will come in darker as well.

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

Yes there is usually some redness for a day or two.  Generally it takes several treatments to get a good result.  Only the hairs that are in the active growth cycle are killed with the treatment.  Since a third of your hair foolicles are dormant at any time, we generally tell people to return every 6 weeks or so to optimize the number of hairs we catch in the growth phase.  Skin type can also be a factor.  Dark hair with lighter skin can usually be done with fewer visits than people with light hair or dark skin.

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!

No. As you grow your skins begins sto shrivel up and it appears that your nails have grown longer when actually more of it is revealed.\n\nDr Pratt.

Honey, women will probably never understand the vanity issue with baldness. I suppose we go through something similar with breast size issues. But there is nothing less attractive than plugs that look like dolls' heads or, worse, toupees. Please don't go there. If a woman can't see beyond the hair on your head (or the lack of hair on your head) then she is not worth the trouble. Don't try to change nature. Be proud of who you are.

Women are mammals and have facial hair from birth. Until puberty it is very fine and thin, called "vellus". As the femal body matures the production of male hormones (androgens) in the body (completely normal in an adult woman) some hair turns into coarser pigmented "terminal" form (pubes and underarm, lesser degree face). In menopause the ratio betweeen androgens and estrogen changes again and can increase the growth of "terminal" hair in the face.\nNow, how much hair is individually different, look at the father and the mother - if they are excessively hairy, the daughter has a higher chance, too. Like so much, it is genetic.

I would say not necessarily. It is just a genetic anomoly some females are born with. I knew a girl with black hair and a light mustache in 6th grade.  By middle school she had gotten rid of it, and by high school she was the most beautiful girl in the school. And I can assure you she was all woman!

Some do, some don't\n\nPersonally, if her hair is in good condition, I believe long hair is alluring for several reasons:\n\nIt shows that she takes care of herself- because long hair is A LOT of work.\n\nAnd it's exotic- not many women have really long hair.

shaving and cutting causes them to grow back thicker and darker, with a prickly feeling after just a few days.\n\ni am an advocate fo waxing and after consistently waxing my genital region (front and back - ouch!) for the past 4 years, i have noticed that they are very light, thin and soft now. The results of waxing last a few weeks too\n\nso i would suggest to u and ur friend that u understand that there is no real way of stopping hair growth totally, but u should start waxing regularly so that the hairs dont give u no trouble!
