9 year old bullied for 'moustache'

With the flawless trimmer - does it grow back noticeably? Thick or really fine ?

Asking for my own twirly moustache.

100% recommend this - I was going to recommend it myself, but was scrolling to see if anyone else had! No shaving cream, sharp razors, rash, etc - just gets rid of the fine hairs there! It's fantastic.

I would tread very carefully. Give her spaces to ask to do something about it rather than offering, because the last thing she needs is her mum telling her the bullies are right. Let her lead.

One technique is you brainstorm a long list of possible solutions to the bullying together and then talk them through, choose the best and make a plan. Start with generic responses to bullying, roleplaying, walking away etc, encourage her to chip in ideas. Include & write down some obviously silly ideas. See if she suggests hair removal. If she doesn't, I don't think I would suggest it. Then go through your joint list and pick out the best solutions to make a plan, which may or may not include removal.

Yes I think you should mention it to her teacher, but it's only part of the fix.

Please stay away from hair removal cream, it works by dissolving keratin so can easily burn skin if left on too long. My daughter is exactly the same, she has a little face shaver thing that's completely harmless, it looks like a lipstick and they are about 20 quid or less... best thing ever

Use little scissors and trim it once a week. I have long thick hair and while that is nice on my head, it is not nice on my top lip.

Waxing gave me spots. Threading was ok but none down here where I now live. Easiest and most painless thing to do is trim it off imo - good luck

Flawless trimmer gently whizzed over it would be better than chemicals.

What you need is a flawless touch facial hair shaver - don’t panic, I know we were told never to shave our faces but trust me this is the thing to use. Bleach = blond moustache. Hair removal cream could be too harsh for young skin. Waxing = have to wait for it to regrow inbetween. I used hair removal cream for years myself. Got a flawless touch for my 9yo (at the time) after researching and of course tried it on myself first - now we both use it! Takes seconds to do, very gentle, don’t need to wait for regrowth.

Get it waxed OP and either do it at home or somewhere it can be done privately. Definitely not in one of those places that has a chair in the shopping centre as if a classmate walks past her having it done, the teasing will only increase tenfold

Get this!!

Absolutely perfect for a child, zero pain and no chance of a reaction or cutting herself, me and my sis used to use this when we were younger xx

Edit, sorry just seen someone posted this.

Kids are mean but yes I'd use hair removal cream. It's a problem with an easy fix so I'd take it.

Oh poor girl. Kids can be mean. I wouldn't bleach as all that would do is give her a pale moustache. I would go for waxing. Longer lasting and the hair does get weaker.

I use this as I've had laser on my upper lip but still have a few remaining hairs. No messing with chemicals or pain from waxing. Might get her through til shes a bit older and can decide herself what she wants to do? bought mine in tesco but ive seen them in boots too.

I would go to someone who can remove it using threading. It will stop growing after a while.

I had one when I was young but luckily my friend's mum showed me how to use threading to remove it myself.

Waxing would last longer if she can stand it. OR IPL if it's possible for her age?

The hair above the lip takes a while for fall out that’s why I suggested bleach. Doesn’t have to be on for that long as-well as the hair is thin.

I wouldn't use bleach or hair removal cream. Get some facial wax strips and whip it off that way - or take her to a salon if they will wax a child that age.

Oh I got ridiculed for weeks on the school bus when the sunlight hit my face one time everyone and I mean everyone was chanting "MOUSTACHIO" fucking broke my heart that did. Now as an adult I wax or pluck.
Your poor dd kids are fucking horrible

When DS2 was around nine I used hair removal cream to remove his noticeable moustache. All was well and didn't do any harm to his skin.

Be careful I got chemical burns on my face from hair removal cream. It was sensitive stuff designed for the face and i followed the instructions. Make sure you do a patch test. The best product I have found is the little jml flawless trimmer.

lol good answer

I would sort it for her. I was bullied for my very noticeable tache and dark leg hair at school and it was horrible. My mum wouldn't let me get rid until I was 14.

I would try a few things and see what she prefers. Hair removal cream might be too harsh on her skin, as might waxing, but they're probably easiest. Definitely IPL when she's old enough - I have a Philips Lumea and mine is almost gone now. Such a relief after decades of regular hair removal and insecurity.

Hair removal cream + boxing classes

That's one of those things that I'd offer her the options and sort it out ASAP. But bullies will just find another thing to point out. Try to help her with some practical advice for dealing with them, try role playing it with her. She needs to show the bully that they have no effect on her

I think I’d use the hair removal cream op as it will be like silk and disintegrate quicker than the coarse thick stuff on legs. I know people are saying bleach but if you’re going to go to the bother if doing that then it may as well be removed.

Some kids are arseholes!
