Re: What the heck! A Moustache?

Since there are only two, you might as well make an appointment with and have electrolysis done on the upper lip.

Do the math.

Pluck them out!

When you get more (and you eventually will) use a facial epilator.

A while back on a similar thread someone said ""Just wait until your beard comes in"". I still chuckle about that one when I have to haul on up the stairs to find the tweezers.

Re: What the heck! A Moustache?

Unlike another poster here, I have only positive things to say about electrolysis. It is the only method of hair removal that can state that it is permanent. It removes dark and light hairs. I went through treatment for my chin and upper lip, and I have virtually no hair growth whatsoever -- only a very occasional hair that can pop up for a couple reasons explained to my by my electrologist. So now I might go in for a quick treatment once or twice a year.

But you have to complete the treatment. You can't just go a couple times. The cycle of the hair follicle is a minimum of several months.

It is so wonderful not to be tied to tweezing (I became sort of obsessive and was starting to harm my skin) or any other form of temporary hair removal.

Re: What the heck! A Moustache?

Wait 'til they also start growing under your nose, on your chin, between your eyebrows, and on the tops of your big (& sometimes, other) toes, LOL.

Tweeze them, bleach them, and/or shave them with a disposable razor and some shaving cream (not gel).

Yep! I've got two long black hairs growing on the side of my lip. (And, they don't even match my gold/brown hair!) I'd been cutting ONE of the hairs for the last couple of years, but now, I've got two and they're lonnnnnnng!

Should I just keep "cutting"? {#emotions_dlg.confused1} Will cutting make them thicker? I sure don't want more! {#emotions_dlg.angry}

Certainly you have older female friends and relatives .... so this shouldn't come as a surprise. For just a few hairs, tweezing is best. {#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}

EVERYONE:

Let's ALL chillax, and just keep in mind that our body's chemistry changes about every 6 years throughout our lifetimes; hormones included.

Plus, some of the changes and new developments are just part of the natural aging process, something that's a privilege and not a given.

So, just keep on ridin' the waves of life, including the surprises our ever-changing bodies may give us.

Namaste...

Re: What the heck! A Moustache?

Did you know that many celebrities shave their faces? This is a beauty trick from way back. Marilyn Monroe did it, Liz Taylor and others. Models do it. Get some of those little blade razors that you use on eyebrows or better yet, look up Tinkle razors on line Amazon has them. You can just trim above your lip in one second and take the hair away. I do my sides of my face. I have blonde hair so it is very light peach fuzz. But your face gets exfoliated and the skin feels fantastic!

I also suggest going to youtube and looking at these demonstrations of women using these little razors. And P.S. the hair does Not come back darker or rougher. Type in women shaving faces and you could type in the product name "Tinkle" razors.Wink
