Cures for unwanted facial hair

I get unwanted facial hair on both sides of my cheeks, chin. My periods are irregular. I think it is due to hormone changes. Pls. advise on how I can control this growing of un-wanted hair. Thanks.

Overgrowth of facial hair can be due to hormonal changes/imbalance, PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) one of the symptoms in PCOS is over growth of facial hair, especially over lips and chin.
Visit a gynecologist, he will examine you and suggest the necessary hormones to be checked and also advise some medications to correct the imbalance if any.
Avoid shaving and waxing, as the skin on the face is very delicate. You can remove the unwanted hair by threading.
