So... if I waxed my 'tash' would it grow back worse than ever?

have got a few hairs on my upper lip area not dark but I notice them, tried hair lightener but can still see them.

Has anyone waxed that area before and if so how bad is the regrowth going to be?

I use the Veet cream stuff rather than wax and no difference in regrowth.

I do mine with veet facial strips.
Definitely less comes back each time.

Veet facial wax strips here. Very simple and quick. Regrowth is not worse, not sure that it gets lighter through.

ive waxed mine and growth lessens over time. Dont use hair lighteners, apparently it makes hair grow :/ (not sure how true that is tho)

I use veet wax strips too. Not noticed any difference in regrowth but then I'm mixed race and have very thick, dark hair. I'm like a werewolf!

Regrowth isn't that bad at all, definitely less each time. Try threading- it hurts like you wouldn't believe, but the effects are better than waxing.

I have always waxed. Agree growth lessens over time.

Wax is fine, definitely lessens growth. My beautician tells me never to use Veet as it thickens the hair?

marleebrodie · 30/08/2013 20:33

Veet wax strips here...very good and I think regrowth slows down.

I use hotwax and it is definately finer than it used to be.
Bleached hairs can look very obvious in sunlight
