I don't wax my mostache, I thread it.. I know not everyone can get it threaded and done with, but I live close to an Indian saloon and get it done there for something like 10Dhs (equvilant to 2-3$USD) hehe..

lmfao @ 'to the point that it curls'
I wax mine every few weeks. . . It's not too bad, but enough to where my boyfriend jokes about it occasionally (when it's been awhile since I've waxed) and it's dark brown eeeck. I told him I was gonna tie him down and do his eyebrows though if he was gonna say something about me waxing my 'stache. He. . . EVENTUALLY agreed lol (not too much though. . . just the area in the middle, he has naturally great brows)
I work retail though and probably 75% of the customers that come into my store are african-american and hispanic. . . a huge percentage women. It really shocked me the amount of females who have pretty thick black 'staches and don't do a thing about it. *shudder* It opened up my eyes! but then again, these women probably aren't as concerned about their appearance so they probably don't care. . . & I don't have the balls to ask them about it (it'd be rude, ya know? i'd take it very offensively if someone said something to me about mine.) *shrug*

This might just run in my family, but my mom told me to never shave my legs or anything and I listened (except underarms and girlier areas.) I'm 21 now and I don't have a touch of hair on my arms or legs. NOTHING. They are completely bare... Maybe I just got lucky because I don't think this would work for everyone because look at men.. They never shave but they still have hair.. Who knows.. I was blessed!!

I am feeling around my face while reading this thread. Gonna go get the strips from the bathroom. I do my own face but get my eyebrows done for my arches sake. I don't want to have to post in the crimes of makeup thread about me having to draw on my brows after some overzealous waxing.
In addition to the often neglected sideburns on women, don't forget that one loooonnnnnnggggg hair that seems to sprout out of the side of your face. It seems to run in my family. My aunt had long black hair and tells the story of the time she was at work, and one of her coworkers thought they were being helpful and pushed hair out of her face. Problem was that that hair was attached to her face! I personally check the cheeks on a regular basis for the renegade hairs.
(And to all the guys who may be on here to try and understand women, go away! This is our own personal place. You don't need to know this stuff)

Those of you who wax yourselves, are you aestheticians? Or just laypeople (I'm afraid to wax myself for fear of getting stuble). Whats the best at-hom wax to use?

Layperson which is why I don't touch my eyebrows. Too much room for error which I would have to report in the Make UP Crimes thread.

You have no idea how many of women I've held down and forced them to allow me to wax their mustache. It's gross and I'm sorry but EVER woman in this world has facial hair, just because you think you don't have a mustache doesn't mean you don't. |

I've been doing it on my own since I was 15. I just use the Sally Hansen facial wax and tear that bad boy off. I wont touch my own eyebrows I go to someone for that. But with your moustache you just slap it on and rip it off.
Be careful though, my moron cousin has burnt herself like 4 times because she will over heat the wax and then slap it on regardless. Make sure the wax is in more of a pasty (idk if thats the word) form before you slap it on your face.
You might bleed the first time ... no joke I did and my cousin did ... but your skin gets so used to it. The only problem is that it does cause dry spots around my lips but then I discovered Strobe Cream and problem solved.

Where can I get hard wax i.e. wax that doesn't need strips, and you can just lift up a corner and take it off that way.

Well, I waxed my stache! I love the hair being gone, but I was really nervous/anxious while I waxed so... I over-waxed it, when I could have just plucked those few pesky hairs, and I irratated my skin.
It's kind of funny though, since it's only on one side of my face! Ah well, concealer is my friend.
