Does anyone bleach their lip hair?

[EamesIsMyHomeboy]

I am white with dark hair and get a 'tash if I don't keep up with waxing but its a right faff and sore. Am wondering if I could get away with lightening (without ending up with a ginger 'tash and looking like Keith Lemon??)

I had a friend who did this. It was ginger, sorry. What about threading? I found with waxing mine eventually went away. But it took about 20 years!!

I use the veet strips and they just dont grip half of it. Maybe I need a better wax option?

Ive bleached since I was about 14 and its never ever gone ginger. the only time it goes ginger is if you take the bleach off too soon.

I had a friend who did this and the hair was left white blond - but still was very noticeable, to be honest.

I do bleach mine, I find boots home make the best I leave on for 10 mins and wipe off I then hair trim any ling ones and it's hardly noticeable.

I just use hair removing cream.

If I bleached mine I would look like a pubescent blonde boy with a pretty striking moustache! Bleaching doesn't make the hair go away and in the wrong light it looks dreadful. Threading is the way to go!

I alternate waxing and bleaching. I bleach when the hairs are too short to grip the wax, but too "there" to be left. Probably do one of the other every 7-10 days.

I bleach my 'tache. it's not perfect, TBH. However I don't want to start removing it, as when I pluck my (many) fine chin hairs, great big thick ones grew in their place and I now have to get the tweezers on it morning and evening. I really don't want to risk the same happening with the old 'tache.

Pluck! You need Tweezerman tweezers and a magnifying mirror. It bloody hurts getting them all at the beginning but now it's just a couple here and there.

Its fine. I bleach mine off and on. I have never had it go ginger!

I agree with the concept that the hair grows in more noticeable. I NEVER used to shave my legs. They had fine barely visible hair on them. One day i decided to do it...OMG i could never wear shorts without shaving them now. It seems to trigger something. The hairs seem to keep growing and are quite long. I would not ever risk it with my tache.

I used to bleach but it was still noticeable, esp in certain lights.

Now I use boots hair removal cream. A box costs about £3.50, if I remember correctly, although it's hard to say as I don't usually pay for it in cash - I save up my boots points and use those.

veet strips are rubbish, they miss half of it, so you keep repeating, then it gets all sore. I use hair removing cream. Does anyone know of better wax strips than the veet ones?

Can't you use Veet cream? I always have. No faff, no pain. 5 mins and wipe then wash it off.

Sorry, but my friend did this and it just makes the hairs white. Stand to the side of her in the sunlight and its a full on tache.

Buy an [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Epistick-Epilator-Complete-Instructions-RazorBlades4u/dp/B004LNXA0Y epistick]]. I am HAIRY and beaching either give you a ginger tash or a white one.. Neither of which look goog with dark brown hair.

My epistick has literally revolutionised my life

Well that link didn't work

Nads wax all the way. Can't beat the stuff. You just whack it in the microwave for 10 seconds and you're good to go. And it's actually sugar, not wax, so one wipe with a damp cloth and any residue is gone.

Do not try to eat it, though it tastes gross

I've bleached for 20 odd years. It works for me. Boots one is better than Jolen.

If you're worried it would go ginger, try the bleach and keep some wax close at hand in case it doesn't work for you.

You could also try electrolysis. You have to keep it up regularly but it would be good if the hairs are thick and noticeable.

Bleach works for me but agree, have another option lined up. Also agree Boots is much better than Jolen.

A friend of mine did this and she ended up with a peroxide tash.

She had it lasered in the end.
