Nobody told me I’d look like Teen Wolf

Oh shit! Here’s another club I didn’t want to join but have been forced to sign up to. Have always been a bit hairy but my regrowth after chemo and a few weeks of letrozole is beginning to be scary. Next I will be out howling at the full moon 😳. Off to research all of the above solutions and to order some bleaching solution. 😩

Dam/damn, it's "coarse" not course! As a brunette with fair skin, I'm a big lazer hair removal fan.
Also, I believe IPL can zap fine fair hair if lazer hair removal can't. Worth trying as little to no ongoing cost or maintenance (despite initial outlay being a bit pricey) compared to the epilation methods. Then there's Dermaplaning. I've not tried it. Might be the solution? Incidentally, areas treated with radiotherapy are forever hair free...though not to be recommended as a beauty treatment. :# 

The only good thing about chemo was that it eradicated coarse dark hairs!! 

Lazer hair removal works wonders on course dark hairs, but cannot zap fair hairs.

Oh mine has now all gone away which is great. And I did get some extra waxing done 🤣

Just read this post as I have finished radiotherapy last week and now on Letrozole for 6 weeks. I have noticed a fine downy covering over my face in the past couple of weeks (hair growing back on head nicely) plus some darker bits like side burns.  I have just had it all waxed off, it's ok, had no problem with facial hair before.  I read that some people on Letrozole get a downy facial hair covering (hmmmm another side effect to manage).

What do airports do with all those confiscated tweezers? And of course you can't say at the airport (or you will be arrested!) what damage do you actually think I can do with a pair of tweezers (that I could not do with a ballpoint)? Like @flaneuse, my mother had this problem, my daughter is getting it too and I loved not having it during chemo. Mum could pluck by feel like a pro! Particularly useful when hairs turn white - you can't see 'em as much but you can feel 'em. I haven't waxed, mainly because I don't want to lose all my hair (no problem with most which is very fine and really not visible) as my chin will then look noticeably shiny. 

Thanks @Flaneuse, hopefully it just disappears (clearly there’s next to no chance of that but I’ll pretend for as long as possible). Then I’ll look in to sugaring, thank you!

Professional waxing frequently also stretches your skin and ultimately leads to sagging - like we need another problem!

@Saram Take care with the waxing - depending on what type they use, it can encourage regrowth. I'm a bit of an expert in this area as it's hereditary in my family and has been an ongoing battle since my teens. I've had every treatment possible - from electrolysis back in the eighties, and everything going since. I've always carried tweezers and a tiny magnifying mirror in my handbag. Have lost count of how many I've had confiscated at airports. And there's a set near my TV chair. The greatest joy of chemo was that my facial hair was the first thing to go, within two weeks. Threading is OK but the best professional treatment to have is sugaring (Cleopatra used to have it). It grows back more slowly and softer. If you have a degree of dexterity, there's a product called SURGI WAX available online - which you microwave in the pot it comes in, and use on small areas. It's much gentler than the professional waxes. I'm lousy at doing it myself, so always get my daughter to do it whenever one of us visits the other. In between, I have to rely on tweezers. The day before surgery, I've always had sugaring. It's a curse. >:)
