Facial hair fix-its


 
I have this hair growing in above my upper lip, and it is black. It looks like I have a mustache. It is really annoying, and it looks bad! Please help!

 

Your sitch is oh-so-common among girls and women with dark hair and more olive skin tones. Thankfully, there are two easy fixes, and you can do both at home or in a salon. Before you do anything, though, you should talk to your mom, if she has the same problem, or other female family members to see how they handle their unwanted dark facial hair.

 

Wax it away

Any salon that offers waxing services will be able to wax the hair above your upper lip. It’s a simple, quick procedure that’ll only hurt for a few seconds. You can also find facial waxing kits at your local beauty supply or drug store. Follow the directions on the box and be sure to do a test patch just in case you react poorly to the wax.

 

Bleach it to blend in

Another option is to bleach the hair so it becomes less noticeable. You can find bleaching crème kits at any drug store on the cheap, and you can do it yourself in about 10 minutes. Follow the directions carefully and again, do a test patch first. Results usually last a few weeks depending on the speed of hair growth.

I have dark hair on my upper lip and I tried shaving and tweezing, but that didn't work. I looked at reviews on wax and bleach and most of them said they burned their upper lip instead of removing hair. Later, I found this spring hair remover online. Should I try this method or will this also not work.

 

Hey girlie, look up reviews on the spring hair remover online to see if other people think it's any good. If you get your upper lip waxed do it professionally. It might cause a little temporary irritation, but it should remove the hair.

I shave my upper lip all the time because at school I see a whole bunch of girls get made of because of that hair. Even my bestie got made fun of by my crush, So Mod please help me. Anyways I shave with someone else razor and its not my moms or used down there, but anyways if I told my mom she would think I'm overacting just over some hair over my upper lip. I dont want to end up like those girls at school so help me out!! Also I'm 12 and my mom only lets me go out by myself when i'm going to school or just errands. It's very aggravating. So please help.

is it normalto have fur on your face?? cuz i do and it really bugs me.




Hey! the only way to really feel reassured is to talk to your doctor about this question Smile To be honest, that's what we mods just have to tell you guys when you come to us with any health concerns. You may very well be fine, but since we're not doctors and we can't even see you face to face, it's not for us to tell you what's fine and what isn't. You know your body. Trust your instincts and talk to your doc!

MOD MOD MOD!...........MOD! Smile
I have really dark hair on my forearms and some people (mostly guys) comment on it and say, and i quote, "I've never seen a chick with arms that hairy". It doesn't bother me, but it bothers me when other people notice it. But since its so noticable, won't people notice its gone?? Help Please!!!!!!!




People may not even notice that it's gone--they'll know something's different, but probably won't pin point it

I have a formal dance coming up and my mom thinks that I should/could get my eyebrows and upper lip waxed. I would only get them done a but but I'm worried if it will hurt a whole lot because I don't want to be embarassed if it hurts at the salon. Also, I was looking around and it says that if you wax facial hair especially on your upper lip you could get a huge acne breakout. Is this true and is there any way to avoid it if it is? Sorry that this is so long, thanks. <3

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
