Upper Lip Hair!!!!

[sheas]

OMG! Am I the only one who suffers from this, I am 40 and it only started a few years after having my DS. I don't exactly sport a 'Magnum' style'tash but it is bloody annoying having to wax it every few weeks and being paranoid if anyone gives me a second glance!

oh, can you do the link again?

i would be afraid to bleach mine for fear I'd look like i'd been sucking a Mr whippy!! I am quite olive skinned! do you get a chance to choose the colour?

Threading, without a shadow of a doubt. Or a 5 o clock shadow.

I had a friend at uni who removed her moustache herself - she sort of twisted a loop of thread and whirled it up and down her lip. Her eyes watered afterwards but it did the job.

Foolishly and naively I never got her to show me what the knack was - I had a mere blonde dusting back then - but ten years later and pregnant I am noticing black tache action. Quite depressing considering I have recently had to remove a couple of grey eyebrow hairs [wtf?]

Anyone able to provide a how-to guide?

Another beardie here! i really want those Rio home hair laser removal thingies to work, but know that it would be £300 down the drain, unless anyone has one and it works...

I'm surprised no one has suggested this yet. I find it very efficient.

how does that work??? i can only see it has no battereis or power, it looks painful!!!

You can guarantee something that says 'you may experience a slight tingle' is going to be agony

It's just like threading. It's very painful the first time you do it but if you then do it often and as the hair is growing back it only takes a minute or so), i.e. when you only have few hairs, it's quick and painless. IIt does cut some of the hairs, but then again I never found any method to be perfect at removing them all from the root.

I suppose waxing is more effcient but at least with this you don't need to wait for all hairs to grow back.

hmm tuga I have never seen one of those before, might treat myself.
I have been a-bleaching and a-waxing since my teens, am now starting to get chin hair too.
Grrr.

Tugomommy... Have ordered one of these just now so fingers crossed my 'tash days will soon be over??? Many thanks, all the posts have made me smile, I am not alone....x

pluck them

every time you do your make up in the morning pull a few of the buggers out. That way it doesnt hurt and you dont get red marks.

OhFuck- if you google 'threading' there are loads of good YouTube video tutorials which you can look at- it takes some practice but it is very effective. And cheeeeeeeep!

Riven, no, you don't need to wait. I usually do it every day or every other day and that way I always catch the hairs when they're small and few ant the area is always fuzz free! Also, that way it doesn't hurt when I do it.

I looked at the youtube clips and threaded my tache yesterday, catching a few more strays today.
It was quite easy, a little painful around the centre and under nose and was pink for an hour or so.
I am impressed. Now to see what happens as they grow back in.

Respect to those self threaders!

I'd never even thought of that Falafel - thanks! I've ordered one of those Epicare things though, so maybe I'll see how I get on with that first. [visions of shredded top lip]

I wax my own using the veet facial wax strips.
It does hurt and I have to build myself up to do the pull!

DS said to me on Friday in wonder... mummy you have beard ! to which i stropped, i DO NOT HAVE A BEARD DS, its a moustache ! .

I went to remove it with cream on Saturday at which DS went into hysterics saying it was his best friend ever and he LOVED it soooo much.

so what can i do?

Hate face fur. Have had it for a bit. Threading.

If you´re dark skinned, don´t bleach

LOL mankymummymoo! You will have to cultivate it and give it a name!
