I can't get it professionally done because even though it doesn't cost very much money, my mom's sort of out of a job right now, and doesn't have money for that. The hair is pretty dark, and I'm self concious enough without it. We have some Nads at our house, but I'm nervous about it because I've never waxed before. I've never really shaved my upper lip either so I really don't understand why the hair is so dark. Should I just follow the directions and go for it?
sorry for the spelling...

just use a hair removal cream. it won't hurt, and won't grow back for a while.

Yes, go for it and wax it off! Never shave though that will only cause it to grow in thicker and you are going to get a shadow. If you are scared of the pain... have your mom help you. Or you can also get a cream depilatory (hair remover) that doesn't hurt at all, and you do it like every 2 weeks. You can find ones by "Sally" or "Better Off" that work well.
Good Luck-- use whatever method but remove it!! Having a mustache is not sexy. It happens to most woman, so you are not a freak... just get it taken care of! Hurry before boys start making fun of you!

I am not sure what "nads" is .. but only use it if it specifically says for upper lip hair removal! and never never use NAIR ok?
first of all, you dont NEED to remove it. You are who you are, be happy with who you are ! But if you want to remove it, its not really that big of a deal, you'll find that allot of women with dark hair end up waxing, ask some older girls you know to help you, they might have some lip wax they can give you or help you do it. Maybe ask your mom or some of her friends even. but read the box of nads and if they have directions for using on your upper lip then GO FOR IT.. if it will make you feel better about yourself go for it.

I say go for it, but only do a tiny bit at a time until you
get used to the awful pain! Sorry. Just being real.
Start at one side of your upper lip and wax your way to the other side using 1/4 inch globs of wax. When you press the strip onto it, the wax will spread to about 1/2 an inch. Keep the strip on for a minute or whatever the can says . . .
and then just let it rip!!!!!!!
Keep a Kleenex handy for the tears.
Good Luck. : )

Dont be mean to her, people. First of all, do NOT shave your lip- stubble will grow back.
Your idea of wearing wax lips does not seem like a solution either, though. I mean, if you are at a birthday party or Chuck E. Cheese pizza place, ok, but you start wearing those wax lips to a confirmation or you know court for a traffic ticket, people will not take you seriously.

Don't do that! The hair will grow back thicker and darker. The same will happen when you shave.
Go to a pharmacy or a drug store and ask for special hair bleach for upper lip hair. After you used it, the hair will be still there, but barely noticeable.
Then, maybe some day you can afford electrolysis and get rid of it once and for all.
Good luck!

Nads can be painful. You could try bleaching it, that would probably be your best option, (nads used for the first time could leave really bad irritation and could even become infected.) If you do use nads, be sure to spread it on VERY thin so that it grabs just the hair and not your skin too. You could also pluck with tweezers to get precise results with less irritation. Just be sure to keep the area very clean and sterilize the tweezers first with rubbing alcohol. Best of luck to you.

just get it professionally done for the first time. it might hurt a lil, but it gets better after a few sessions. besides, if u shave it, u might get razor cuts unless ur really careful. waxing would last longer, and it's neater in a way. perhaps when ur hair starts growing out waxing u could try plucking it.

yes, WAX please do not make the mistake of shaving your lip, it will only make things worse. waxing is painful, but well worth it, if you can, get someone else to do it for you, I think that might help a little. And you can also use the tweezers for the very long hairs, and for shaping.

You don't need to wax, just let it grow,put an ointment for less hair you will get,then a few day,you will have NO hair anymore.
