Default Hair Growth Pictures?

I am being really rude now but does anyone have photos of when there hair growth is at its worse.

I think I am lucky in a way as I don’t get it as bad as some people I read about, but I do get it on my face and neck, my neck being the worse as they are quite dark coarse hairs…

I just kinda want to compare myself to others…

This was taken Sunday or Saturday can't remember which now... lol My hair is grey and white going down my neck towards my adams apple, it is black and white on my chin, varying shades of black white and grey sideburn and cheek areas and my 'stache is blonde, white, a few black and white... as you can see I don't have a problem with growing my beard out. I feel like I am stripping away my identity when I shave it off, and I will have to shave it before my dad comes down on saturday... but it will grow again

I wouldn't class this as my worst as it's only 2 weeks growth and to me it isn't unwanted hair, but thought I would post a picture.. My avatar was after 1 weeks growth.

Well done for showing that.... I can obviously see you have a really bad case of hair growth, I just wondered when people talked about it what they meant.... Thanx for sharing that photo I appreciate it!

That's really all I have, well did have for years, but more recently I am getting darker hair on my neck, most days I can't be bothered, but I am getting more worried about it now.....

Am not worried about showing my hair growth, it is a part of me, anything to oblige.. have just shaved it off except my mustache and trimmed my sideburns as am going away with my dad for a few days, don't think he could cope with me and my full beard, he has got used to my mustache now though, he knows I have to shave. When he goes home I can let it grow again, I feel I have stripped an essential part of who I am away when I shave.

squidge I really admire you for accepting it as part of yourself. Have you been treated differently because of it?

I took this a few days ago because i wanna do a before and after some treatment works out for me hopfully. I dont think us Cysters's should be embarass with each other with stuff like this, if anything it should be liberating. I have to shave everyday but this is a picture of my chin/neck area after not shaving for 2 days.

THe hair on my face is still very fine, although very black and long. I've waxed it once or twice but on my neck it hurts like no other! I prefer a bikini wax over my poor neck. THe hair on my head constanly falls out, but it's been doing that for as long as I can remember. I have a few single, thick, black hairs that grow above my nipple. Usually they comes in as ingrown hairs. Me with tweezers tends to make a little bit of a scab sometimes too. I really hate it and don't know how to fix it.

It seems to me that either PCOS girls suffer from severe excess facial and body hair OR ... severe hair loss ....I am one of those that doesnt have severe facial hair ... yes I have some and it gets worse but I dont need to shave ... but I have severe male pattern baldness ... is this the case with you guys that have bad facial hair do you still have your hair ?

Lisa you're so brave, I really admire you!!

My hair grows in almost EXACTLY the same pattern and look that yours does. In fact it looks like me up there a bit, right down to the mole on your cheek... mine is on my left cheek though. I even have one on my collarbone in the same spot as you - again on my left side!! Spooky!!

Ahh girls, if only there was some kind of cure!
