White facial hair

For those of you who have or have had white facial hair, did it come back white after waxing or using a cream? My hair on my upper lip started darking and thickening in January so I did end up waxing it and have to keep up with it all the time because it has come in darker although I still have white hair that comes in on my upper lip. Guess you could say it is a mixture. Anyhow, now I am wondering if I should leave the white hair on my chin and cheeks the way it is because it is white and not corse or if I should try a little area and wax it. I'm just so scared that if I do that I will end up with a big mess and have to wax my whole face. Sometimes I get the feeling that people are checking out my white hair because it is noticeable but I would rather have them check that out then dark corse hair all over. Ugh--I really hate the stress of this!

My mum has white facial hair. Well white/blonde. I did wax it for her once and yes it came back. But honestly you really cant notice it unless your looking.

My facial hair is predominantly a mix of white and gray hair with a few odd sprinkles of black hair. It used to be jet black about 3 yrs ago but like the hair on my head the gray has succeeded in a take over bid. Although I have been going gray since the age of 16 when I found 2 gray hairs.

I have very blonde hair on my face aswell with some dark hairs which I pluck. I have to remove the hair on my chin as it looks like a little gotee if I don't get rid of it and yes it still comes back blonde. I leave the blonde hair underneath my chin and on my cheeks as I'm worried that if I removed it it would come back worse. I worry too that people are looking at it, but they would have to be close up to notice- (I hope!).

Kelly it is a fallacy that if you shave hair it will come back thicker, darker and stronger.. it may feel coarse because it has been cut, but it doesn't make it grow more. If it's blonde and not that noticeable I would leave it, but again it's a personal preference and how you feel about it.

I don't feel SO ALONE anymore. I have been asking this question all over, and no one has related to me! I have the blonde/white peach fuzz all over my face (esp chin, upper lip, cheeks, etc). I even it have it all over my stomach, chest, breasts, etc. I have been on Yasmin (9 months) and Spiro 200mg (6 months) for hairloss, AND this excess peach fuzz has appeare within the last 3 months! I never had any excess hair prior to the BCP and Spiro! I talked to my Endo about this and he said that it was PCOS-related and that the Spiro would help soon (WHEN!). Another thing is that my Testosterone has been at 17 (normal) for months now, as well as my Free Testosterone! Makes no sense to me. Any thoughts?
