It's perfectly normal to have a
finer down type of hair around the face. Think of it like a soft
blending of hair into face so that your hair doesn't come to an
abrupt halt. If your hair was not finer around the face you would
tend to look a bit like you were wearing a cheap wig!
If your downy hair grows a long way
over your face or is quite dark, you may want to disguise it in
some way. Try using a hair lightener, of the type you would normally
use on arm or lip hair. Do not use hair (as in on head) products
for this type of hair, as it is normally very fine or spreading
down onto the delicate skin of your face. Hairdressing products
maybe too harsh and cause a skin irritation or break off the hair
if too strong.
For many people with a fair amount
of downy hairline hair there are a few points to remember if you
get it coloured and you should ask your hairdresser to take it
into account. Because it is different from the rest of your hair
it can often go brighter, darker or pick up ash tones from the
colour being used. Steps can easily be taken by a professional
hairdresser to avoid such problems. Another point to watch is
the colour application, if a dark colour is applied too far over
this hair it can make it more obvious. For those of you that lighten
your hair if colour is not applied over the downy hair it can
suddenly appear darker when compared to your new lighter locks.
I would like to end by reiterating
that it's perfectly natural to have fine downy hair around the
face. Having been in hairdressing for many years, I have seen
so many different hairlines you can't imagine. Never judge what
is normal by touched up photographs in magazine, take a closer
look at a few of your friends and you will realise it's totally
normal.
