Waxing...??? - Page 2

How do you know when to wax your upper lip? If your hair isn't dark, is it just a matter of if you are comfortable with the hair there?

I ask because just lately I've been mildly obsessed with the hair on my lip. I look in the mirror and wonder if people see me and think, "OMG.... she should totally do something about that hair!" I've plucked out many hairs with tweezers, mainly the thicker ones that seem more obvious. Doesn't help that I know someone who I think probably *should* do a little wax; I get to wondering if she's thinking the same about me LOL.

From this thread it seems like I could try it and see if I like it? If not, then just let the hairs grow back and leave be?

TIA!!

THREADING

If you can find someone who does threading instead of waxing do that. I'm not sure where the practice originates. I think the women who own and run the place I go are Indian but I am not sure. It has no heat or chemical component like wax does. It hurts a little but lasts as long. When I used to wax my lip and brow I sometimes had redness and swelling for a day or two after. With threading there is no trace less than an hour later.

This thread is making me realize that the $5 I pay for my eyebrow wax is a heckuva deal.

Aw...a close friend of mine just had her lip hair removed yesterday. I loved that she was so comfy with herself that she had a little unaltered mustache.

But her partner's grandma just died and the "ILs" pressured her to shave it for the funeral. She was so depressed about it last night that I think she may have been on the edge of crying.

That is so Wrong!
