Upper lip hair
So I think the time has come for me to do something about the little bit of upper lip hair I have. what method do you all use? Afraid to start waxing it because I don't want to deal with waiting for regrowth!

Re: Upper lip hair
I mostly get it waxed. It doesn't need real regrowth before going again. Like I never have a full stash between waxing. I also use sally Hanson hair remover for face sometimes too. Tho with my sensitive skin, if I leave it on a second too long, I get irritated. You have to make sure your face isn't clean before hand. Natural oils on the skin keeps it from burning.

Upper lip hair
I tried threading once. It hurt SO much. I have thought about doing it again, but have not been able to go through with it.

How many times did you have to go? I'm considering this now just so I don't have to scare myself when looking in the rear view mirror in the car and realizing I need to wax

Re: Upper lip hair
I use one of those battery powered hair trimmers (it's the size of a sharpie) from bed bath & beyond. It takes about 10 seconds & the hair is gone, no pain at all. I do it about every 6 weeks...love it!

Re: Upper lip hair
I have used Surgi for close to 15 years. At this point, it has actually killed most of the hair.

Re: Upper lip hair
I agree with laser. I went for 6 sessions for upper lip and chin and it was wonderful. Before laser I used to wax it, but thought laser was a better solution. I need to go for a retouch, though. In the meantime, with the few a get, I use a hair trimmer that a PP mentioned.
This is the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/Finishing-Touch-Lumina-Lighted-Pivoting/dp/B000FRVA8O/ref=sr_1_19_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1490150455&sr=1-19&keywords=hair%2Btrimmer%2Bwomen&th=1

Re: Upper lip hair
But aren't those battery powered trimmers kind of like shaving? So don't you get stubble growing back the next day?

That rear view car mirror is how I see how the hairs that I can not see after waxing that need to be tweezed out.. Hair growth sucks

It is, but because it is a small area, it very is fast. I also did underarms, deep bikini and legs. Legs were the worst because it took forever, so comparing, upper lip was like nothing.

For me it is not. It's a flashing light that is somewhat hot but it moves so fast that you barely have time to feel it. There are a few seconds of quick 'zings' but they last a split second.
