11 year old Dd has a moustache 😩

[MummyCool19]

Iv notice it the past month or so. At first I thought it was dirt (😂🤷🏻‍♀️) but it’s not. It’s quite dark, and definitely visible. Not commented on it, just worried about when she goes high school.

Do I leave her until she notices it? And if she does what do I do if it bothers her?

[Abbazed]

Get facial hair removal cream.

[Abbazed]

don't leave it. Kids are vile

[sleepismysuperpower1]

my oldest dd has dark hair and so had a similar thing. she noticed it, and we used this hair removal cream which is specifically for the upper lip x

[MummyCool19]

I don’t want to make it worse 😩

[momoftwo76]

My DN had this and we used a product called Jolene. Worked a treat

[sleepismysuperpower1]

@mummycool19 in what way are you worried about making it worse?

[Langrish]

Do what she wants to do.

[MummyCool19]

Incase it’s darker afterwards 😩

[sleepismysuperpower1]

@mummycool19 if you use hair removal cream it can't get darker as there is no hair left x

[momoftwo76]

Do not used hair remover it will make it worse and can cause irritation. Use the Jolene , it's a lightener and is fantastic

[Flurgle]

Mine had hers threaded from early on. It was the only thing that worked well. The bleach just made it blonde, the removing cream didn’t work well, nor did waxing. Cost very little and controlled it well. She was v self conscious about it.

[Baloonphobia]

Definitely encourage her to do something about it. It would be nice to think that in this modern world young girls should be free to rebel against beauty standards but in reality she'll just get teased and that could really hurt her self esteem.

[hullaballoonie]

I used to use jolene, all it did was make the hairs lighter. Agree with PP about threading, no risk of damaging her skin with a hair removal cream and it should start to grow back thinner.

[kenandbarbie]

I used to use bleaching cream on mine when I was that age. I think it was called Jolen. Then I just plucked it, it's got much more sparse.

[Yayswimming]

I'd recommend this- easy and painless.

As did I 30 odd years ago when I was 11. Can’t believe they still make it.
BUT a word of warning it eventually turns the hairs orange.
Hair remover can leave you with burns that make sure you look like you have a face full of cold sores.
The only real solution IF she mentions it is to take her to a salon for a waxing. Once she has had it done a few times she can try herself with wax strips.
Trimmers just cut the top off so no different from shaving really.

[SkintAsASkintThing]

Wax it.

Kids can be arseholes.........even boys get no end of stick for bumfluff taches.........I'd get there before the bullies spot it. Waxing can be done in seconds and lasts for weeks

[SkintAsASkintThing]

Dont use hair removal cream.

I have scars on my chin from that stuff, I had a huge reaction after using it within issues for months. I wouldn't put it near a childs skin

[Hiddenaspie1973]

I waited for dd to ask and now she has, I wax it for her. She's 12.
She's more confident now.
Do whatever your dd wants/needs.

[LoafofSellotape]

Get her a little Flawless Finish and she can see to it herself if she wants too.

I seriously wouldn't wax or use cream on young, sensitive skin.

[froufroufoxes]

Jolene is definitely an option if the hairs aren't coarse or too long.
Lightening dark hairs has to be better than starting her off on hair removal at such a young age.

I remember shaving mine a couple of times when I was at school and it's very noticeable if you have a completely smooth top lip and it grows back coarser as you've cut the end off so it's thicker.

But please don't make her feel like she has to do it.

[LoafofSellotape]

How is using bleach on skin better than hair removal?

[DrinkFeckArseGirls]

I'd let her lead on that. If she asks to remove it, wax it. I wouldn't put bleaching creams on a child .

[funthief]

Not sure if laser is allowed on someone so young but if hair is dark that might give good results? I have facial hair and I hate it, have had plenty of mortifying comments over the years. Don't leave it. People are cruel. Good luck.
