Upper lip hair
How do you get rid of yours? I recently noticed some little dark hairs and tried Sally's hair removal with not much success. I left it on for a while and wiped it off and still had them (and a red, irritated upper lip).
Any recs?
Re: Upper lip hair
Waxed by a pro.
But I recently tried Oil of Olay's new hair remover & it worked perfectly. No bumps, no red rashes, just smooth hair free!
I've personally had good luck with the Sally Hansen brow/face wax strips.
Sometimes I get it done at the salon.
I'm having electrolysis done on my chin but my upper lip is just way too sensitive.
If you get waxed, does it grow back darker?
This is my fear.
I've recently been tempted by the Vaniqa commercials.
I have a mustache over half of my upper lip only. Usually it's not noticeable but every so often it looks dark and I freak out that I am a monkey-child.

I just use Nair. There's a new spa face cream version that works well.
I used to wax but I stopped that several years back because I feel like it brings out my fine lines. So I get my eyebrows tweezed instead of waxed as well.
Ditto. And I tweeze any strays. My kid is fabulous and adorable, but the little SOB gave me a momstache!!
I tried these for the first time a few weeks ago, and they seem to work well.
I have fine blonde hair on my upper lip, and somehow got it in my head that I needed to get rid of it. I had never waxed before, so this was my first attempt. The strips seemed innocent enough, so I gave it a go. Holy hell, thatshithurts!!!!! It was a serious Macauley Culkin moment. I am assuming you get used to it, but I have a new respect for all of you waxers.
Ditto this. It's also pretty cheap considering how many uses you can get out of the product.
I do mine after a couple of glasses of wine.
