I have sideburns. I'm a girl.

It was first pointed out to me at around the age of 12, since then i've shaved them.

I'm very girly.

And look girly.

Thin, Reasonably pretty, But i have sideburns. Why?

Smoke?

Are you particularly hairy otherwise? I'm generally pretty hairy, and I too have 'sideburns'. It's just the added hairy-ness. I find girls with dark hair do generally seem to have more facial hair.

When they do this, does it actually look like sideburns?

I've got this, thankfully (and strangely!) it's blonde - I have dark brown hair. :confused:

Does it not make it more obvious if you shave them? As in the texture etc
This girl at my school use to have sideburns and a lot of boys use to be mean to her, calling her Mac 3 and she was really pretty as well

Sideburns look good on both sexes. I wish i had some.

pics?

OP, I can think of two reasons why this *might* be (disclaimer: I am not a doctor :p:

).

1) You have darker hair, meaning it may be something perfectly normal that's just more visible than on pale-skinned girls. Asian girls also tend to have more hair in general than Caucasians.

2) You have polycystic ovary syndrome, which affects approx. 1 in every 5-10 women. One of the symptoms of this is hirsutism, or excess hair. I suffer with it too.

Conclusion: see a doctor. They are the only one who can best advise you.

That's because dark hair is easier to see.

I once saw a very pretty young looking asian woman who had quite clear facial hair - just the variation of the human species I guess...

u can get em lasered off if laser-hair-removal is what i think it is, cant you?

id say shaving is only gonna prompt thicker growth, or appearence of, and the next growth are all the same length and have a tip as thick as the root was before it got cut.....

well thats from my experience. I dig ma sideburns...or whats let of them :s-smilie:

sort of botched it recently

i wouldnt worry about it so much.not to brag but im reletivly pretty but also have sideburns...i wax them then use facial bleach for around 2 months.does the trick as the wax means no hair for a month and the bleach lightens it for the two months.
im asian and hairy for a girl..the only hair thats really botherd me alot is the ones on my stomach, which i wax.my bf doesnt seem to mind a bit of hair but im in general good about removing it.have a sunday pamper session where i go through the process.i dont have pcs syndrome btw.dont let it get you down.its genes and am just accepting it.
just experiment with the best hair removal for you and remember its perfectally normal!!!
