something has happened to my hair follicles with advancing middle age :( my eyelashes have all but disappeared but my eyebrows are becoming positively Denis Healey-esque and I realised today (when looking in the mirror while wearing my glasses) that I have hairs on my upper lip - eek! They're very blond (am fair) so pointless bleaching them, I'm feeling resistant to waxing etc cos won't they just grow back thicker?

What is the best way to deal with upper lip foliage??

Is it a hercule poroit style or a stalin style?

waxing is best

have you got the white eyebrow hairs yet? that are like NEEDLES, so sharp



and double check your under chin/wattles for rogue hairs

waxing is definately best eventually hairs grow less the more you wax (i speak from experience as a dark haired person, and have had this problem since my late teens)

I got myself something like this on eBay. Of course, the bit about it being painless is a big fat lie but it works.

although styling it would be one way of dealing with it Grin

Threading is the answer!

Second for threading. Waxing leaves you with spots like you've been sniffing glue!!

third for threading, quick, clean, easy, not too painful and can be cheap depending on where you go!
