Upper lip stubble

[Areca]

I used to deal with the peach fuzz on my upper lip by bleaching and trimming which meant, although not completely hair-free, the hair that was there felt soft.

The hair growth started to accelerate a year or so go (thanks peri!) so I switched to a mini shaver which is quick, easy and cheap! The downside, however, is that it now feels prickly and sharp 🙁.

I dislike it myself, but worse, it’s actually putting me off dating anyone because they will feel the stubble.

The hair is not dark enough for laser so I’m a bit stuck now. I used hair removal cream when I was younger and burnt the whole upper lip - it was painful and unsightly for at least a week. Not sure if I should try it again and, if I do, would it be damaging to the skin long-term?

Any suggestions from anyone who has experienced the same?

No need to shave between electrolysis appointments. The appointments should be spaced to deal with the hairs as they come through. Now if I have an odd long one, I trim with scissors before the appointment - I’ve only got a few hairs left and my appointments are only every 2-3 months. But at the start, the appointments were close together and the hairs didn’t get a chance to grow long. I saw a big difference after a couple of sessions - there were clusters of hairs I’d had for years which are totally permanently gone now.

I shave daily also but the stubble isn’t ideal. I have a lumea that I never kept up
with, maybe I should revisit…

I have ordered a twisty thing thanks to this thread - will give it a go (seems ouchy though!) and report back…

(Yes, I’m having an ellipsis kind of day!)
