I'm thinking about wearing a bikini to the beach this weekend for the first time in forever lol. But I realized that I have some visible hair on my stomach, basically a line from the top and bottom of my belly button. I have very dark brown hair, so this hair is pretty visible on my semi-pale stomach lol. Is there anything I can use to lighten the color of the hair? Or any way I can remove it? Or is it common enough where I don't need to do anything to it? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks :)

Any specific products that I can use would be helpful as well! Thanks :)

If you want to bleach it I'd recommend the product Veet. You can also have it waxed, or shaved. However with either of these methods you will end up with dark stubble when it starts growing back.
Hair grows all over the body, it's not really a big deal. However, it's understandable when yours is a bit more noticeable to want to try and get rid of it. Use a mirror to check your back as well. You can treat back hair the same way you treat tummy hair. Hope this helps.

i have dark almost black hair as well, and up until about 2 years ago, i either shaved it off or used nair on it. Which was fine, I don't usually have swimsuit on much or wear cropped shirts. After awhile, I gave up becaause I have sensitive skin, and those methods either burned me or made me have a rash. I have since had laser hair removal done to reduce it down to a point where it doesn't bother me. I think I have done 4 treatments so far.

I recommend tweezers. It won't hurt that badly because your skin there is pretty thick (not like the skin underneath your eyebrows, for instance). It's tougher and can stand up to a little abuse. If you shave that stuff it's going to come back like black stubble, and bleaching could make it stand out even more. Have fun at the beach!

Oh I tottally get you and I hate that. You should either shave it or better yet wax it since you're going to the beach. Lighten it I don't know. Do you really want your stomach to go blonde?LOL!

I know what you are feeling right now cause am too going through that. See waxing is the best as it would last for long but its veryyyyyyyyyy painful. You can bleach it free from pain. I personally think that creams wont work much.

This is what I use all the time!
Jolen Creme
You can buy it at any pharmacy like CVS.
It works really well and I only put it on about once every 2 months! It becomes totally invisible!

Its common so i wouldnt worry too much but if you really want to make it less visable i suggest waxing it. One quick strip and thats all there is to it. You wont have to worry about it all holiday! If you don't have any waxing strips just shave it and then re-shave it half way through your holiday.. or whenever it is noticable again. Good luck xx

dont shave it or wax it, it looks awful when it grows back. use sally hansen to bleach it, the really long hair you can remove with tweezers, if its still necessary!
