There's a lot of hair on my upper lip and it's really light but, when someone is up close to my face you can see it. It's really ahnnoying what can I do about it?

Honestly, it's best to leave it alone.

Here's a homemade solution:

2 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp honey
2 tsp lemon juice

Mix the ingredients well to form a paste and microwave until hot but tolerable to apply to the skin.

The sugars combined with the heat will cling to structures of the hair but not the skin. Spread the warm paste over the skin and press a scrap of thin porous fabric over the area. Rub accross the fabric in the direction opposite to the growth of the hair a few times. Finally, quickly pull the fabric away from the skin.

Increasing the proportions of ingredients allows you to make more paste, which is suitable for body waxing ("sugaring") as well.

I would suggest avoiding getting it waxed. My wife finally decided to get hers waxed and it came back very dark and very visible. Now she has to go every few weeks to get it waxed again. If it's not noticeable until up close, then just live with it. Most people won't mind it at all. Some guys even find that a little sexy!

i have the same problem only worse cause my hairs brown.
i just bleach it bc it turns like a white blonde so its not that noticable. DONT shave it bc then youll have to shave everyday like a man. waxing is like every other week but dont do it. most females have a little hair there, its normal;

Shaving, waxing or other forms of epilation do not make hair grow back thicker. That's just a myth. And actually frequent epilation tends to make hair come in less thick over time. Read about it here:

So, use the epilation or hair removal system of your choice to get rid of it.

DONT SHAVE IT! it will grow back thicker and longer and more noticable. you can thread it though. search about threading on google ^_^ its erally effective and you can thread the really short hairs on your uppler lip however if you wax or shave it will grow back thicker and very fast. if you thread ur hair then it can damage the roots so it has a low chance of growing back. and you cant wax or shave REALly short hairs so threading is very useful

get it waxed or threaded. even though i dont do that, i would still think waxing is better instead of feeling every piece of hair being pull out other than just ripped off in 2 seconds.

it'll last a while, and its efficient, it may hurt, but its worth it.

if it's really light, then it's not a problem. most girls have a light mustache anyways

wax it, don't shave it!! just start getting it waxed regularly at a salon and if you can't do that just get some wax strips at the store. i use i believe it's sally hensen from walmart, they come in different size wax strips and you just rub them to get them warm, stick them on and pull them off, i love them because they are so easy to use and you don't have to get messy wax everywhere. but once you start, don't stop waxing!!

Same problem. I get it waxed but Id like to see if there is any other way seeing that waxing is messy, sticky, and doesnt work that well.

Wax or bleaching kit. But bear in mind...once you start a regime like that you need to remain committed as it can cause your hair to look darker as it grows back in.
