Facial hair

[protea]

Hi Everyone,
I have lots of hair aboe my upper lip and on my chin.
Do you know what is the best method (and inexpensive) to get rid of this hair?
Have you tried using r.e.m spring? does is work?



Thank you

All I've ever tried is waxing or tweezing. I've had salon wax, and home wax. I think home wax or tweezing is probably cheapest! LOL

i just shave with gillete embrace razor. the one with 5 blades. my hair is coarse and i would have a better mustache and goatee better than most men!! just kidding about that but i just shave daily in the shower. if i could afford lazer i would do that but i can't and no use dreaming. with waxing you have to wait until hair grows a little so you can catch it with the wax and pull it off. my hair is dark also so i can't stand waiting that long.

I have tried waxing once before, but I couldn't stand that pain again. It also caused redness that lasted a couple of days.
Shaving is not an option for me. If I start shaving more and more hair will grow and it will become thicker after every shave.
The problem with tweezing is that it takes a long time.
What about threading?

threading is very good. but you have to learn yourself so it won't cost so much. if you get threading done make sure you go to someone who does it a lot. you don't want to go to someone who is just learning. and by the way hair does not grow back thicker after shaving. it grows the same way.

No studies has been made on shaving women shaving their facial hair. but I have seen women that shave their face and they have very thick and dark hair. And anyway, even if the hair doesn't grow thicker, you still need to shave almost every day. Being a woman, is already very high maintenance.
Anyway, i think I will try the rem spring and let you know how it works. They claim that it works like threading, only you can do it yourself and you don't' have to learn threading.

like i said threading is very good. i think the rem spring is going to cause some irritation also. and yes i do have to shave every day but unless you get your hair removed via lazor your hair is going to grow back with the rem spring. my hair was dark when i started shaving. it wasn't peach fuzz. it was coarse hair. my hair grows fast. and it looks no different now than what it did before i started shaving it off.

Part of the reason people commonly think hair grows back thicker after shaving is because the individual hairs are now cut blunt, straight across at the thicker part of the hair shaft. Whereas a new hair which has not been cut grows in with a tapered end, thinner at the tip than at the root. The blunt cut piece may look or feel thicker than the tapered natural tip.
