I know excactly what you mean. If I dont do anything, I look like I have a mustache. Shaving it off leaves little stubbles. Fortunatly for us, Nair has a facial hair remover. It takes about 5 minutes and leaves you with no hair and no stubbles. You can also get it waxed off at a salon but that hurts a lot.

Well, there are several option, several of which are a bit painful, but effective.
You could try waxing. You can probably buy facial hair waxing kits at the local drug store, but just be sure to follow the directions, because otherwise the hairs won't come out.
If you don't like that idea, you can try plucking. Get a really good pair of tweezers. It's a little more uncomfortable than waxing, because it takes longer.
Another option is chemicals. There are actually diluted versions of the chemical in Nair that dissolve hairs in a few minutes. If you have sensitive skin, this might not be the best option.
Finally, a more permanent, albeit expensive, option is laser removal. This option can remove hairs permanently (that's right-forever) however if you decide on this, be careful and do your research.
Don't be afraid to try different things. You may find one better for you than the other. Personally, I prefer plucking, because I feel it offers more control, but in a pinch I'll shave.

Go carefully on this one -- there's a lot of misinformation around.
A lot of girls have moustache growth at 15 and in many instances it actually disappears around 18 as the level of female hormones in you body rises. In the cases where it disappears around 18, however, it almost always returns as the female hormone levels begin to drop from age 30 on.
If there's not too much of it, do you really need to do anything? Most guys are OK about women with 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.

there is a couple of ways to have this done. 1) would be electrolisis. this would be a series of aapointments with a professional where the go over the problem area with a special machine & send a little shock wave to each individual hair. 2) laser hair removal is another option. again a series of appointments with a professional. they go over the problem area with a special laser to remove the hair. this is not a garuntee.. the hair can come back. 3) waxing. this would be about a once a month expense. most local salons provide this service. it can be painful & the hair will come back, but it is less expensive to have done then the other 2. Prices range anywhere from $7-$10 for the upper lip. At 15 i was waxing my upper lip as well, its very common.

They are correct, shaving isn't a well proposal. I'm additionally now not particularly keen on the depilatory merchandise. Like shaving, they do not cast off the hair from the foundation. I particularly just like the Sally Hansen hair remover wax strips. They supply you the equal effect of steady waxing, however you do not ought to fear approximately the entire software steps. The field comes with 3 exceptional sizes of strips (which are effortless to reduce) and a little bit bottle of "completing oil" that gets rid of the surplus wax.

Waxing painless? Obviously you have never had anything waxed. Try taking some tweezers and pulling out hairs. It does hurt!
