The Medical term Hypertrichosis universalis is a genetic mutation, by which cells that normally turn off hair growth in uncommon areas, such as the eyelids and forehead, are left turned on.
The girls have excessive hair growth on their faces, affecting their eyebrows, nose and portrays them a beard.
The sisters partake in hair removal cream to keep their condition under wraps on a very temporary basis.
