Top Lip - thread, wax, bleach or ... cultivate?

That's it really. Since passing 40 I have started to develop a moustache and I need advice on how to disguise/manage/get rid of it.

I am quite dark and so therefore is my 'tache. I control my rampant monobrow with threading but the thought of doing this to my top lip makes me wince. I also worry that threading and waxing will make the darn thing grow in thicker.

I actually have a friend who cultivates her facial hair by plucking it and she has quite a long beardy thing going on which is great for her but I'm just not feeling it for myself.

Any advice gratefully accepted.

annie no difference really, but is much faster to wax, and you miss fewer hairs.

Right that's it, I am off to Boots and at the risk of looking like Hulk Hogan I am going down the bleach route. Thanks for all your advice and tips. Have a great weekend.

Bleach is the way to start. If you are not happy with the results of bleaching then try removal.
