Upper Lip Fix


I've got dark hair on my upper lip—it’s kinda like a mustache! It's so embarrassing but I don't know how to get rid of it or make it less noticeable. Help!
Well, chica, you're not alone. A lot of girls deal with upper lip hair. The secret? You have a few options for making those hairs disappear!

IMPORTANT: Whatever you do, DON'T SHAVE IT! Hair will come back more noticeably. You know those prickly hairs you get on your legs when your hair starts to grow back? Yeah, you'll get those on your face if you shave. Eek!
 
Waxing

You can get a DIY waxing kit or go to a salon and get it done. If you do it yourself, get your mom to help ya out the first time. You won't have to worry about hairs growing back for about a month and it won't come back any thicker than it already was. It’ll hurt for a few secs, but then you’ll be fuzz-free for a while.

Bleaching

Bleaching doesn’t really hurt (it might sting for a few) and is an easy way to lighten up facial hair. The whole process will take about 10 minutes and hair will stay bleach-blonde a week or two.

Plucking
If you've only got a couple of pesky dark hairs, this may be the best option for you. Use sharp tweezers to pluck the strands.
