Can I pluck the little hairs above my lips?

Question

Or will to turn red and not turn out good? I am alergic to hair removers and I don't really want to use wax...

Answer 1

You can pluck but depending on your tolerance for pain, it can be painful.

I would suggest having electrolysis done. It takes a number of sessions but it does get rid of them permanently!

Answer 2

You can tweeze them if you really want to, and if they aren't too dense.

You say you don't want to wax, but it really is much easier and quicker (and less painful!) if you have more than few hairs to deal with.

Another option if you really don't want to wax is threading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threading_(epilation). Threading might be easier on your skin if it's sensitive to chemicals. Depending on where you live, though, you may have a hard time finding a salon with a threading aesthetician.

Any way you go, you can apply a cool pack right afterwards to reduce redness and pain. But try to plan it for a time you will have an hour or so at home to wait for any redness to fade!

Good luck!

1] take a shower or bath, so pores are open and hair is soft
2] get some good lighting, a pair of tweezers, maybe a magnifying glass
3] pluck! WARNING - this is one of the most sensitive areas of your body, so it will hurt! [ yes, more than brows, probably more than pubic hair ]. If you are a big sissy, put anbesol on the area first!
4] use toner or witch hazel after, not lotion [ can cause breakouts when applied to newly opened pores ]
I have used this for many years, and it works very well. My friends and I also use it for stray hairs on chin, nipples, in moles, etc.- it all works [ no, we don't all have hairs in all those places! ]

Answer 4

there's this special hair remover cream that is designed for people with allergies to hair removers. they can usually be found at walgreens. or, you can pluck them. it turns red for like 5 minutes but that's it. sometimes it doesn't even turn red!

Answer 5

If you apply lotion before plucking, and aloe afterwords, you should be fine. Also pluck gently, that way it wont get too red, also if needed, apply ice after tweezing, but only do this if its red and sweeling, which should not happen. Good luck

Answer 6

Maybe you should if it's noticable. If it's not noticable you shouldn't, because when it grows back it will be noticable and you'll have to plug them all the time. Or you should use wax even if it hurts because when you plug them, it will take longer and every hair you plug will hurt.

Answer 7

No It will not work. Because the little hairs are to small to pluck, You will have to wait till the grow out a little. Or try to see if a proffesional can work his magic! :]]

Answer 8

I pluck mine. It is red for just a little bit but not for long.

Answer 9

WEll it kidna hurts plucking above the lip but it will work.

Answer 10

yes, you can. If you get a redness from plucking do it at night so your skin can settle down overnight.
