Would you remove a very fine blonde moustache?

[Privatelyliving]

I think it's getting hairier, but it is very paly blonde and very fine. Most of the time I can't see it in the mirror even close up, but then in certain lights! Maybe it looks like that often to others?

Occasionally I can feel a more prickly "bristle" and I get that with the tweezers, this is more like fluff, but there's a lot of it.

I'm worried that once I start I'll be committed to doing it forever.

Also I get spots whenever I have any waxing or threading done.

I probably wouldn’t bother.

I’d leave it be.

No. I removed blonde, baby fine hair from my top lip. I could now wax the grow back into a nice handlebar moustache.

Soooo...blonde light hair can never be lasered, that only works for dark hair. Hair that has been waxed or epilated also cannot be lasered, even if it is dark, it doesn't work as well. Lasering only really works on dark hair that has only ever been shaved. I learned all this recently on my hair removal journey. Shaved facial hair is also more stubbly.

Won't that make it grow back bristley?

I started microblading blonde fluff in lockdown as was threaded before that. Now I just occasionally whip it off with a razor. I don't think it's worse than it was.

Leave it alone, I wish I did!!

100% yes

Depends on the length.
I used to bleach my mo' and that was fine when I was young but now the hairs are longer and thicker, even when they're colourless they're still quite noticeable. So now I use depilatory cream every couple of weeks.

Leave it well alone. Many regret removing it later.

Every bit of skin of the human body has hair follicles except for the palms and the soles of your feet. Hormonal effects make some area eg armpits&around the crotch, and sometimes around the nipples, get tougher and more visible but for most Caucasian women the rest of the hair is very fine and not very noticeable - arm and leg hair may be a bit more noticeable for some women and some ethnic heritages more so than others.

So an upper lip with fine, barely visible hairs is not a "moustache" it is perfectly normal human skin. Every woman's upper lip is just as hairy, it's just that culturally it's inappropriate to examine other people's upper lips closely enough to notice this and for most people the hairs are too fine to notice without peering very close.

However, if you start removing these fine hairs, they will grow back tougher, darker and more visible.

Best not to obsess about minor features like this. The less you do to your skin the healthier it is so leave it alone.

If you start removing these fine hairs, they will grow back tougher, darker and more visible.

This is a myth. Hormonal changes are the only thing that make your hair darker. If you shave it, it will grow back just the same.

It will feel a bit stubbly as it's growing because it is shorter and has a blunt tip from where you shaved it as it grows out.

But by the time it's as long as it is now, it will be just the same as it is now, unless your hormone levels change.

Finishing Touch is brilliant

I use these - they’re fab and very easy to use. I just whip mine off every one/two weeks to keep it under control. They work great on fine hair, but less well on my badger bristle whiskers at the side - they get hoiked out with tweezers. So yes. I would do it. I imagine in sunlight I would look like Paul Calf otherwise!

Mine's like this, with just a few hairs towards the corners of my mouth that shade to darker at the tip. I just run a beard trimmer (without the guard) over my whole lower face every so often. It takes all my facial fuzz to a short, natural-looking length (you're meant to have a light covering of superfine hair all over your face), and removes the few dark tips at the corners of my upper lip. It doesn't feel bristly as such, though as the hairs are shorter with flat ends, it's slightly different in feel if I stroke my face. There is absolutely no way for my follicles to magically know that the dead strands of hair sticking out of them have been lopped off, so nothing grows back tougher or darker — if I don't do it for a while, all goes back exactly as it was. As I'm trimming rather than shaving, I don't get rashes or infected follicles or cuts or skin dryness. It works well for me, though I don't wear makeup so I don't know whether it would be a problem with foundation etc.

When I say a while, I mean like a week
