Question: I need some help with hair removal, please!?
( Back )
Answer #1:
If i were you i would get a professional upper lip wax, this is the only way you will get a great result and its not to expensive. Just make sure you do some research into the clinic you are going to use.
Answer #2:
I used to have the same problem!! The hair actually lightened eventually anyway (once I was 18 and way past puberty!), but before that I tried
- bleaching it which worked okay but I had to be careful to not let it bleach too much (white hair!) or not enough (yellow/orange hair!)
-using hair removal cream (my skin had a nasty reaction)
-shaving (DON'T SHAVE!!! you'll get stubble :-( and the hair will appear much thicker)
-waxing
-epilating
Unfortunately for you, you will have to pick between either using chemicals or doing something a bit painful- but it does seem like yanking the hairs out either by tweezing (have you tried using your tweezers??), waxing or epilating.
Some tips:
If you tweeze, use steam or a warm damp cloth to open your skin up first (for easier plucking and less irritation)
If you wax (and don't want to go to a salon professional), make sure you pull the skin taught before yanking the wax strip off (pull skin away and down from your mouth and yank the strip in the opposite direction. You should be pulling the wax strip in the OPPOSITE direction to the hair growth)- when you're done there shouldn't be many hairs left and any stragglers you can tweeze, then settle the inflamed area with a cooling balm and cold water. Some people also find it beneficial to firstly dust talcum powder on the skin that you're about to wax.
If you epilate it's the same rules as for waxing.
Good luck sister!
