Answer 1

either by threading
or
waxing

Answer 2

Think this one through carefully, because there's a great deal of misinformation put about, usually by people who have something to sell!

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.

Answer 3

put a warm wash cloth over it 2 open the pores then sit in front of the mirror and pluck.it hurts but it works, especially if u dont want pple 2 make a big deal about it.make sure u check it w/ a magnified mirror so u can c if u missed any long hairs. good luck

Answer 4

Wax that growth. Be sure to get the right product, though. Don't use a heavy wax not meant to be applied to the face.

Answer 5

My best friend has the same problem she usually get it waxed or shave it off i recommend waxing though since the hair doesn't grow back thicker when you wax

Answer 6

wax it. Thats the best way because the hair gets thinner every time and appears less and less every time. You could try bleaching or nair, but the results arent as good.

Answer 7

You can wax it. Sally Hensen makes this really great product that they are like wax trip, you just warm them between your hands, lay it on, press and rip....

BECAUSE it is warm wax it really just stings a tiny bit.

I use it for my upper lip all the time.

Good Luck

Answer 8

have u tried threading? Its like when they remove hair using a string, n its better n would last for like a month...it removes hair from the roots and apparently over time the hair would lessen. try it out. indian hair saloons usually do it.

Answer 9

get a facial hair remover!

Answer 10

you should wax it just like you would wax your eye brows. alot of girls get their lip waxed. you would be suprised. it hurts a little more than the eye brow wax but it's worth it.

Answer 11

you can bleach it, wax it, thread or even use a facial hair remover

i thread it myself .. it extremely convinient that way..
