Gahh! I took off all the hairs on my lip by waxing but then I still got a five o'clock shadow!! Is there anyway I can get rid of that? I have fairly dark skin and black hair. I used a body and bikini wax since I didnt have proper lip waxing... is that bad? could that have been the reason for my dreadful five o'clock shadow?? Please say no...

I've had a similar problem to yours, actually.
What you do is bleach it first, then wax it. I know this sounds weird, but the bleach goes first because some of it can appear to temporarily bleach your skin. The wax strip (next time, you should use a proper one) goes on next so that you can get rid of a few of the upper bleached layers of the epidermis as well as your facial hair.
I just get a generic brand of wax strips, but for the bleach, I wouldn't choose anything other than Sally Hansen. There's one that's raspberry-scented that'll do a pretty good job without asphyxiating you with that horrible smell associated with bleach.
Good luck and I hope this helps. :-)

i have the same problem and it sucks i woiuld go and gt it done if i were u.some people are telling u to use bleach but if we wanted to lighten it and not get rid of it that would be fine in this situation thats not the case.dont re-due it it will leave a rash with red little bumps on your face and then they turn into white heads.buy a better brand next time.i buy the wax that is already on strips all u do is rub it in your hands to warm it up pull the two pieces apart stick to your lip smooth it and pull. the brand is sally henson u can buy it at wal-mart for about 5 dollars and it will last about 6 months.a lot cheaper and less time then having it done good luck

Peoples faces are sometimes very sensitive. I wouldn't use a product specified for bikini or body on my face. If you feel that you are seeing a five o'clock shadow then go to the store and by bleach for the face. You can probably get it at a drug store or at a beauty supply store. This product will lighten the color of the hair so it blends better with the face.

well not sure how dark ur skin is compared to ur hair but i know sally hansen has a creme hair bleach u mix it and apply if for a few mins it really works. rather than wax it and have a shadow left or it grow in thicker u can just lighten the hairs. may be u can try it

Using bikini wax could be a problem because the hair on your lip is thinner than hair in the other area. You could just buff it instead.

omg! the same happened to me. go to a spa and get it done, thats what ive been doing now. the cheap wax makes it stubbly especially sally Hansen. seriously, a Chinese girl who works at a spa will do it the right way. after all, it is her job! (:

You have to bleach it.
