How long for you before the hair grows back??


Personally for me I do it every morning cuz I like my skin feeling smooth. But my sister uses it once maybe twice a week

Let me know if it works, I’d rather get rid of the hairs but it sounds interested to maybe try a couple times



Fair enough!:biggrin:


Will dooo

Do you mind me asking if you have a lighter or darker skin tone?



When I wear make up I don’t like there being hair though, I’d rather remove it altogether cause it sits way nicer:frown:



Do you do it yourself or get it done?



What’s that? Sorry!



Eh. It hurts less than waxing for me and wayyyy less than plucking. It does hurt but it really isn’t too bad and you do get used to it. Plus it’s cheap and way quicker than waxing and plucking, esp cause you can literally use it anywhere! I will literally be sitting in bed watching Netflix using it😂😂


Thread myself. Think I learned how to from a YouTube vid years ago

I thread my upper lip too but it takes ages so I’ve started using the spring. It hurts my hands sooo much, does it hurt yours?

Really? Oh It doesn’t for me
On the rare occasion, I have to, I have mine lasered.
Thread it
I pluck it, it's unnoticeable.
I use this facial hair creme what basically turns it blonde so you can't see it

You just have strong hands then! I have a friend that threads at a salon and she says her hands ache a lot too

Really? At a place or with a home device?

Is it a bleaching cream?

Is it a bleaching cream?

Yes it is, but it isn't too harsh for me and it works.

I need me one of these face springs...
Bleach it with cream bleach, if you do anything harsh like shaving or waxing it will only grow back worse.

Do y'all grow it out? Wax it? Shave it? Thread it? Pluck it?

I thread, just curious cause quite a few of my friends are lucky and don't have enough hair to remove it, I'm jealous!


shave it pretty regularly

I seriously recommend them, they’re inexpensive so why not try!:smile:

From experience of waxing I don’t really think that’s true

Do you use a normal razor or one specifically for the upper lip?

i use a normal razor but take the little removable head thingy off (idk what they're called) and just hold that so it's easier to control then i get all close and personal with the mirror and make sure it's all gone :smile:
