[QUOTE="Ishna, post: 139198, member: 2709"] Spnadmin Ji No one has responded to your question because it is very tricky to answer! There can't be one kind of "normal" amount of facial hair for women, because everyone's body is different so some may produce more and others may produce less. The average of this is the amount which would be "normal", but since so many women remove their hairs then this is an impossible average to calculate. Some info from the first Google result I found...
