The GREAT Importance of Moustache waxing...

[dopista]

I have threaded, tweezed and waxed my upper lip area. I find waxing to be the least painful but it leaves some fine hair that I dont like. I prefer threading though, much better results and oddly enough it hurts less when I do it myself. If anyone wants to try here is the youtube link to the video that taught me how to
YouTube - Eyebrow Threading I just hold the area to be threaded taunt by sticking my tongue into it (haha... looks as funny as it sounds) and use the same principle as the video. It takes some practice but its super fast and Im so happy with the results! I think women with fine light hair there should not do anything as IMO hair grows thicker once removed and you have to continue removal.

[nichollecaren]

i wont do it...noooooo

 

[User35]

im gonna try that threading stuff on my brows tomorrow...the video made it seem easy enough .....We'll see I might be posting a huge rant about how I took off half my brow.

 

[TISH1124]

Becareful Natalie...My experience did just that! And it was done by a professional took me 3 months to grow them back...I am an official waxer and plucker now

 

[ClaireAvril]

i thread my brows myself.. i learned from that exact video above. Takes practice. At first I didn't get to close to the brow.. just the obvious hairs around it, then pluck the rest. Now.. its so easy - just need control.

 

[frocher]

^ You're braver than me.

The brows are definately tricky! I dont ever try to shape them I get a professional to do them... I learnt the hard way with one eyebrow resembling McDonalds golden arches..

Well .. I have excessive facial hair and typically I would wax/tweeze/ thread for days.

Soo I just got the Silk epil (Braun) and so far I love it. It plucks the hairs out quickly at a rapid pace I think mine has 44 tweezers built into the head. It made "de-foresting" my upper lip, side burns, chin and neck hella quick.

I still have to pluck a few but it's worth the investment I paid .. 70 something for the unit. Between going to the mall and having to be publicly "de-forested" in one night this thing has aleady recouped its cost!

I just paid 70 something .. amazon has it cheaper.. but i'm not even mad thats how great this hair remover is to me

I tried threading my eyebrows and it wasnt half bad. I cant shape them that well yet but I can pick up the stray hairs on top and underneath the brows. I cant get anything in between the brows.

Tomorrow Im getting them waxed

Thank you so much for posting this and the link. I am so gonna get one of these. I am so tired of trying to wax my lip myself and not getting it all or heating the wax too friggin hot and burning myself and the cost of continueing to go have it done.

How often do you use it say for your lip? I've got the fuzzies on my cheeks too that I have to do. It drives me nuts when it starts growing back and I hate having to keep going and harvest the crop.

It varies when you start seeing the hair growing back i'd do it again. It feels similar to threading (so upper lip will hurt like the dickens but you'll get used to it)
great thing about it is that it's a product you can totally return if you don't like but so far every review i've seen has been 95% positive

Once I get my endurance up, I'm going to start using it on my legs

there are plenty of reviews on youtube no one brave enough to demo it on the face though

an epilator on the face ? OUUUCH ! lol Im opposite of you. I can do it on my legs but am afraid as hell to try it on my face.

Yeah one would think it'd be a real bitch to sit through. But If you're like me and have had to endure threading and waxing to the chin neck and sideburns you should be used to the pain by now. and it's really worth it. I worry about lasers and their effectiveness on black skin so I think I've found an answer to prayers honestly

It's funny too.. seems like all of a sudden everyone's reviewing epilators on youtube. juliepeg just did one .. go figure

 

[blackbird]

I'm currently saving for laser removal. I saw a girl who obviously shaved her face, she had SUPER dark stuble, lile 5 O'clock shadow

Poor girl, my heart broke for her.

BUT LADIES - DO NOT GO DOWN THAT ROAD, THE RAZOR IS NOT YOUR FRIEND

About the pulling the skin part when waxing - I honestly don't think it's that bad. It doesn't pull THAT hard and it's only like 1 second. I don't think it will cause premature wrinkling, our skin isn't that fragile.

I've tried threading but it was too painful and it didn't grab all the hair either. Especially as my hair is fine, it seemed to just snap the hair off instead of getting it from the roots. I find those cold wax strips so easy to use and they only hurt like a split second, then done and it takes off everything, including the peach fuzz. Threading is more painful to me.

I tried threading on the side of my face, I have some hairs around my "sideburn" area, not dark or anything but when I put foundation on top it doesn't apply as smoothly. But it's impossible to thread that area on myself.

I've tried one of those spring coils too, it didn't work at all.

I've only taken care of my moustache once, can you believe it? lol

I was maybe 11 or 12, and I did it to feel "grown up", because I didn't have any hair... I used Veet because I was too much of a chicken to wax. I've never done it again because I don't really need to, my hair is so thin and light it's not noticeable. All of my hair is pretty thin, I can't wax my legs or use an epilator because they're so thin they break. Same would happen with my moustache if I tried it. And besides, no one can see it, so who cares? Thank you mommy for your hairless genes (yeah, she never waxed her moustache either and you can't even see it!)
