Probably waxing because it doesn't make the hair grow back thicker. Plucking takes forever and it's hard. Bleaching can also cause hair to grow back longer.

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 would definetely wax.

lasering is really expensive.... shaving just sucks--it grows back in a few days... with bleach it just makes your hair lighter -- but if you look close enough you can still see the hairs :/ .....and plucking is time-consumiing and it just grows back way too fast.

you can get both lip and eyebrow waxing at like nail salons for liek $15 total. thats what i do. its really cheap and it lasts for about a week or two. it'll be a little red after the wax, but that will go away in like half an hour. in between waxings i would pluck any stray hairs that grow back. yes, it kinda hurts at first but youll get used to it and the results are def worth it! :)

good luck! :)

Avon has a product out that removes unwanted facial hair. It's a removal cream and it works wonders! I use it myself, and so do many of my clients. You can visit my Avon page at http://www.youravon.com/meganwatkins. Place an order for the product and it can be shipped right to your house. New customers get a special discount.

Waxing is the quickest and easiest method, albeit painful. A product such as Nair can be easy to use as well, but it is smelly and could potentially cause an allergic reaction. Plucking is another method of hair removal, but it is time consuming and painful with almost every pluck.

you have three options: waxing, plucking, or shaving. I'll recommend waxing, because it gets rid of hair for some time. Plucking can hurt and take a lot of time. Shaving is fine, but be aware that hair that grows back on are gonna be thicker.

Facial hair seems good on Johnny Depp.Facial hair on Adam Lambert seems nice.I even have not viewed to many pictures of Adam with facial regardless of the indisputable fact that,yet they have been appealing.yet I desire facial hair on older adult men like of their 40s and up.i like youthful adult men like Adam Lambert of their 20s devoid of hair.

Well I know a lot of girls that wax it. But I think the best way to go is lasik hair removal, you don't have to keep doing it every so often and especially because when it starts to grow back you can see it, especially if it's dark.

Go with laser hair removal. For the face it is not very expensive and you are done and over with it. With waxing, shaving and bleaching you will be doing it for the rest of your life.
