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.

OK so I have the same problem except I have a scar on my upper lip from when I got in a really bad accident when I was little, so I can't do waxing and the hair is already pretty light (because I'm a redhead) so I don't want to bleach it. But even though the hair is light it still bugs me and guys make fun of me for it. The skin around my scar is really sensitive so I don't want to pluck either or I might make the scar worse. Is there anything I can do? Thanks!

Bonjour chicky! The only advice I can provide is drinking spearmint tea. It is said to help reduce facial hair on woman, so I would give it a try!

Hi how r ya?? Laughing i have the same problem except I'm 11 so i can't go 2 a beauty shop (there's no way my mom will take me 2 one)and she won't let me go 2 a drug store either so what can i do????

Bonjour chicky! The only advice I can give for this situation is to ask your mom for a pair of tweezers and start plucking. I personally have a unibrow which I have pluck every week so I know how it is. It's a bit painful at first, but you get used to it over time
