I could imagine plucking hairs out of a mole would be indescribable pain...Good thing I don't have one...I don't have really any discernible facial hair...Thankfully.

I mole what you mean!

For some reason I think it would be fun to pluck huge hairs out of your huge mole (if I had one). I guess I like tweezers.
I do have a big mole in the very center of my stomach but it does not bother me and has never spread or changed in any way.It does not grow hairs THANK GOD!

I have some really light blonde fuzz on my upper lip, but it doesn't bother me. My bf doesn't care either, so I just leave it alone. Maybe it's because I grew up in a family with very natural looking women, (I'm the only one who wears make up) but I don't think body and facial hair looks that disgusting on women. Honestly, I would rather look at a woman witha hairy mole than at someone with a fake orange tan, foundation that's 10 shades too dark, extremely thin eyebrows, and bleached white hair with black roots, which is how most of the girls around here look. Of course, there's nothing wrong with removing your facial hair, but you should do it because you want to, not because other people force you to. Just look at Frida Kahlo. She had a moustache and unibrow, but now she's one of the most famous female artists in the world.

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.

You are so funny; you made me cry!

Yesterday I used a small ready-to-use strip of cold wax that you just warm up by rubbing between your hands for a few seconds. It worked so well! Got rid of all the baby fuzz hairs. I just used a no name brand for the cold wax strips and they were great, took like 2 minutes to do. You can get the ones that are smaller, thinner strips to use for the bikini area and face. The hair is so fine so even the cold wax grabbed all the hairs. Going to be doing this from now on.

Sorry if I am repeating anything that has already been said, I ddin't go through and read all the responses. I have been using Surgi-Cream dipilitory for a couple of years now and love it. You just put the cream on, leave it for seven minutes and then wipe it away! VIOLA! It's great. You can buy it just about anywhere.

The little hairs above my lip used to be barely noticeable, but over the last couple years some of them got kind of dark

I'm guessing it is hormones or something.

I wax my own upper lip, eyebrows, facial hair (chin, jaw line), underarms and bikini area. I also wax my daugther's brows and upper lip (i refuse to let her look like the mustache lady from the circus!) Oh, and my husband's feet (yes, feet. he's got loads of hair on his feet, but don't worry he's not gorilla like:eek2

.

Oh, and I am NOT an esthetician, I just decided I was paying too much for my own and my daughter's bi-weekly waxing appts. It's not that hard to do your own waxing.

 

[Chelseaa]

It is definitelyyyy just as important as your eyebrows, I think. I always feel extra self-conscious when I haven't had mine done.

I try to get it done at a salon once in a while, but Nads facial hair removal strips are amazing little inventions. They take the hair away just as good as if I had someone else do it. =]


I wish that the only hair I was born with was the hair on top of my head, and my eyebrows!

 

[Navessa]

i use the finishing touch personal shaver, works great! (and no pain).

 

[blindpassion]

Well ladies... I just used "Nair" on my lip fuzz and the fuzz on the sides of my face, interesting experience, left everything very soft... I had to do it twice though because I didn't leave it on long enough the first time, so it's irritated but not painful. Good product, I might try waxing next time, but we'll see.

I remove any hair that sprouts up in strange places on my face. After I realized how many women neglected it and how awful it looked I make sure to be smooth.

The nurse at my university's clinic has thick black hair on her upper lip. It's hard to look her in the eyes b/c your eyes want to gravitate to her 'stache

 

[Ralen81]

You guys are all serious? As soon as I started reading this thread, I looked in the mirror and all I've got is a few tiny little blonde hairs. I can't imagine anyone being bothered by it. However, I've certainly seen woman (or even little girls) with a little too much upper lip hair and if I ever look like that, I promise to do something about it.

 

[AliVix1]

this post is making me nervous i think i need to start! lol

 

[BEA2LS]

i barely have any and they are all blonde.. BUT i am so freaked out by body hair that i do wax it once a month-- it does not make them darker or grow back more or anything.
it hurts too badly for me to tweeze them and when i do wax it does make me bleed and/or break out. i have sensitive skin

 

[winkietoe]

Ive epilated that area recently, so im nice and smooth

I never thought my moustache was noticable until recently when I got my eyebrows waxed and the lady asked me if I wanted it done too.

I said no, because I think I had any hair and that she was just trying to get me to spend more money.. but after that I went home and checked myself out in the mirror and saw TINY hairs.

After that, my thinking was that if the lady saw it, EVERYONE could see it. So now im obsessed with hair removal in that area

 

[swaly]

I just pluck with tweezers. It's so much fun.

 

[k.a.t]

^ haha same

 

[Kelaia]

I have naturally dark hair. I used to wax, bleach, Nair/Veet but it got tedious so now I just use tweezers and this (I also use it on my eyebrows).

 

[nichollecaren]

so u mean I HAVE to?
