No it won't. Just don't shave it. That is not good.
I was worried about that too when I first got my upper lip waxed. Be prepared for about 5 seconds of pain when they wax it! Its not that bad though, only hurts a lot the first and second time you get waxed.

Your hair WILL NOT grow back thicker or darker after waxing. This is an old wives tale. Hair, after being waxed over a long period of time will actually come in finer and less frequently because of the damage to the skin below the hair follicle.

If you only have barely noticable hair in that area, I vould suggest you avoid tampering with it now, because even though waxing doesn't promote thicker hair, there is always the possibility that it might grow back darker. Whatever you do NEVER shave it off! If you really have to take it off, cold waxing is the best way to do it at home.

No it won't. Waxing anywhere on your body will not increase the amount of hair follicles present on the skin, thus NOT making it thicker. The hair might grow back a bit more coarse, but certainly not thicker. The color of the hair won't change either. Hope that helps.

Absolutely not. Waxing removes hair by the root, and the hair follicle must regenerate not only the root, but the hair also. Waxing causes a trauma to the hair follicle, making it weak, so the hair that is produced is lighter and thinner in diameter. In some individuals that have waxed regularly, they no longer experience unwanted hair growth. Consult with an experienced aesthetician to achieve your results. Good luck!

No! In fact over time it may get thinner and lighter, but it does not eliminate the hair growth. If you don't want it to grow back, the other choice is electrolysis. Never pluck the mustache area as it can cause in-grown hairs that can look like pimple pustules and could cause discoloration and scaring!

i don't think wax will make it grow thicker, but don't shave it- tweezing it is also a bad idea.

no. on the contrary, your hair will grow back finer and less noticeable the more you wax. been doing it for close to 20years.

it depends on your hair type, it could or it couldn't...it mostly depends on genetics. So think about it carefully before doing this..you don't want to have a five o' clock shadow.
