right first of all stop shaving and start bleaching with jolean facial bleach so as the hair comes through its blonde and less noticeable...thats what i do...now u can get it waxed once it comes in properly which i think is the best idea but defo get some facial bleach and make sure you leave it on for bout 15mins so it goes really blonde!!!!!!i do mine in the bath !!!!!me and my husband laugh bout mine....xxxx it keeps my lip warm in the winter..

Heck never be embarassed about your hair. Sometimes I feel more monkey than woman with the amount of excess hair I have!!! and lots on my face and chin. One of the things I was hoping for was that with my weight loss the hair would lessen as well. So far no difference but when I'm finally at my goal I'm off to have it removed by laser or electrolisis.

Monkey lady no more :-)

i no just how you feel i sufferd this all my life i think we need laser once and for all

So have you used the Nair yet? If you're using the cream it doesn't have to be a certain length, just enough to show really.
I used it for years to get rid of my little lady-tache, after a few years of doing this it doesn't grow back hardly at all, so now I can pluck out the few remaining ones with tweezers.

how did it go hon? i use boots hair removal cream for mine but it's not working so well these days so i need to get some new stuff. i have really really dark hair naturally so i've always had a moustache. i used to bleache it but prefer it not being there at all... i wouldn't recommend shaving, it will grow more noticably and needs constant upkeep...

I have been a beauty therapist for over 10years (work as cabin crew now) but still keep my hand in beauty when i can. I honestly can't stress enough how many ladies i treat for this problem..even i am naturally blonde and need to get mine done.
Firstly for cost i would advise waxing in a proffessional salon. The skin needs to be pulled taut and the wax removed in the precise direction so a professional wax is more likely to last you longer than doing a home wax. Also don't ever be afraid to go to a salon about it, as they will have seen it all and worse before...i assure you.

Secondly there is electroylisis....this works by killing the hair follicle and so the hair will not grow back, it may take a while to work up to this and sometimes the hair is stong and needs exta zapping so to speak. It works by sending an electric current to the follicle and killing it. I know it sounds painful, and i won't lie, it is..however it means that long term you will never have to worry about it or wax it again. Most salons only ever do a 15min session at a time so you may need to book a few sessions as they can't remove all hairs in that time as they are removed individually rather that in bulk like waxing.
It is a bit more expensive but in the long run will save you a fortune in creams and waxes with the added benefit of never having to worry about it.
I have treated many asian ladies who have very thick, coarse hair and the results were great...so if it can work on dark asian hair it will def work for you.xx

dont razor your face! do you know anyone who can thread? if you have a asian beauty salon they usually do threading; its amazing hair will be gone! and results last for a while!

Hi there
there are lots of different methods of which i can say i have tried and tested all and am now relieved of the hair issue. For the cheaper options I would advise waxing over threading anyday!! the regrowth with waxing is much better than threading.
If you are going to bleach/ hair lighten the hairs then DO NOT use the immac hair lightener - I have sensitive skin and gave me the fright of my life but settled after a day! I used jolen as a teen, but must admit Boots own version hair lightening cream is much kinder to the skin and less pungent - jolen made the tears start (I am very sensitive - eyes and skin). Did the electrolyisis but as the hair were mega thick and dark - a waste of time.
Can i say that now i have very few hairs left on my face. In 2000 i had a treatment called IPL (intensed pulsed light) just on my chin and after 2 sessions, the thick hairs were gone and after 8 yrs they did not return. I decided to have my whole face done and have had approx 5 done since february and now most hairs have gone. I have PCOS so have hair everywhere on the body too so trust me when i say I know how horrible and fvrustrating it is, but there are ways to manage it so much better. Your G.P could also give you a cream called Vaniqa which reduces the hair on the face - but as its expensive, if you dont ask you wont get. Should you consider IPL go somewhere where you know others have been as I went to one (run by a nurse- who had the seeting too high - which caused unnecessary pain and a small scar on my bikini line) hence i did not return and stuck to the trusted clinic run by beauticians where i had been in 2000. Several of my friends have since also been and had good results. Sorry for going on a bit, but it really is great and i wish i had it done sooner.

yes - but it is not as harsh. IPL = intensed pulsed light.
Yes they do shave the hairs first - which is wierd at first, but if you remember that the results are great - after 14 days those hairs literally drop out and are gone forever so a lot less in the next cycle. I travel to a clinic in blackburn, lancashire as it has worked so far and friends have also used it too with great results.
I have also had underarms done (wonder why i dont have any money...lol) and they are all gone!! Maybe in the future I would get arms and legs done too!! Its nto right that we have to deal with such things but there are ways to get rid of it, and I think its money well spent especially on the face as before i lost the confidence to tie my hair up, but now, its not an issue.

Has anyone tried those Threading Booths that are popping up every where, especially outside Debenhams, would like to try it but dont really want to be on show for all to see as they walk in to the shop.
Why do they have them right at the entrance so every one can look up your nose as they walk past?

lalliali

^^ooo we have one here in bham's debenhams! and tbh they are overly priced and its like your on public display; i only get mine done from 2 ladies who have had their salons for years and only charge £4 and £6 for eyebrows!
