Answer 1

Have you ever tried having the fuzz removed by a trained professional waxer person? The results will be far better then Nair. Lasor surgery to too extreme for such a small problem. Don't listen to them.

Answer 2

If there's not too much of it, do you really need to do anything? Most guys are OK about women with, for example, a slight moustache.

If you do decide you have to do something, then there isn't a simple answer.

Facial (and also body) hair on women comes about in the same way as on men because of

1) your body being sensitized, before you were even born, to testosterone -- doesn't happen to all girls, but does to many

2) your body producing high levels of testosterone

The growth rate and coarseness of the hair depends on just how much testosterone is circulating in your bloodstream.

Steer clear of bleaching -- when someone sees you against the light you'll look as if you have a glowing moustache and/or beard.

As far as removing it is concerned it's worth remembering that

* Waxing, plucking, threading, epilating all pull the hair out by the roots and where the growth is hormonally-driven can actually stimulate a dormant follicle into producing more hair quicker. They also distort the root if done repeatedly, leading to hair growing at strange angles. And you've got to let the hair grow to quite a length before you can repeat the exercise. It can also damage the skin and discolor it. Long-term use of waxing also causes bad wrinkles.

* Chemical depilatories strong enough to remove the hair are very likely to burn the skin, cause swelling and cause long-term discoloration of the skin.

* Laser is also liable to cause burning and discoloration and in any case only works effectively on a dark hair/light skin combinantion.

* Electrolysis is very liable to cause scarring and discoloration of the skin.

Which, like it or not, leaves shaving which does not damage the skin. Best done with a men's-style electric razor, the best of which, for women, are probably those from the men's range of Norelco razors (Philishave outside the US). Most women who try a men's Norelco wonder why nobody ever told them about it before.

I'd recommend laser surgery, but with your sensitive skin, definitely proceed with caution. A year or two ago, my former supervisor got talked into laser treatment for her wrinkles. She regrets it to this day - the doc doing it wasn't very experienced, she received what amounted to laser burn and had zebra-like stripes on her face that return every time she gets sun. It also burnt the inside of her mouth. It was an overall unpleasant experience so if you do decide to go that route, make sure you do your homework and shop around!

Answer 4

Waxing won't turn your hair black at all; it's wax, not dye! - although it may inflame sensitive skin. See if you can find a salon that does threading. This came from Asia/India, and roughly, is two long threads which are used to hold and then pull out facial hair. Failing that (more expensive, but eventually permanent) electrolysis.

Answer 5

well i had the same problem if you want you can wax but you will have to keep up with the waxing or you can just buy facial hair bleach and bleach it wean you bleach it you barley even see it you will never konw in till you try it wont harm you skin try sally Hanson pretty good stuff

Answer 6

U should realy leave it alone all women have a fuzz over their top lip *** long *** it aint thick and notceable ur fine but waxing and tryin to remove it will make it thicker and darker then u will be walkin around with a full grown mustache

Answer 7

If you have the money, you can get laser surgery done. it will kill off the hair follicle that the hair grows from. Some women I know have done that because of lip hair. hope that helps. Good luck

Answer 8

laser surgery (you wont get your face cut so dont worry. google it and you'll see what its all about) would permanently wash away that facial hair. and if you cant afford it yet, put it on your to-do list and meanwhile go to Sally's beauty salon. they have great products for that!

Answer 9

Looking into laser, that is being done now.
