Well personally I don't cos i'm very fair but i can guarantee a lot of people do. There are tons of bleaches/hair removal creams on the market specifically designed for visible hair in that area, so if you're worried go out and get one of those!

I know a few girls that do, cos they have fair skin but black hair. They either remove it by waxing or bleach it.

I have faint brown hair on my upper lip..no-one else notices it really but me. I waxed it once but i came out in a rash, now i just bleach it every 6 weeks. Immac hair lightening cream is fantastic, and it lasts for about a year.
However a word of warning - my friend has black hair and black eyebrows and is tanned, she bleaches hers and it looks yellow next to her skin, i have reddy brown hair and olive skin and it is invisible on me. Oh and if you have sensitive skin its probably best to do nothing about it.

I am mixed race Indian so get a hairy top lip in my genes. It's usually ok for Indians coz they have darker skin than I do. I remove mine with this little 'scrubber' type thing that you can get from Superdrug. It works really well coz if i bleached mine they'd show up even more on my skin!

This is very embarrassing; I have a sort of moustache/shadow on upper my lip. Anyone else have this problem?

Thousands of women have it. I must've stacked about 100 boxes of hair lightener earlier on.
