I'm a sixteen year old female. I have dark, thick hairs down the middle of my stomach below my bellybutton. I'm really self-conscious of it - I can't wear a swimsuit or anything. I've heard that shaving it just makes it darker and thicker (plus, I've shaved it before and it just comes back all stubbly). I've also heard that waxing does the same thing.
Is there any way to get rid of this hair or make it lighter? Is it unhealthy to bleach the hair there (like some people do to upperlip hair)?

You should be alright with bleaching it. The hairs on your face should be more sensitive than your stomach, so you should be alright with that. =D

Also, if you wanted to wax it, that could work to as when you wax, not only does it take the hair longer to come back, but the hair is much more finer when it does return.

I would recomend it. :] I don't remember what it was called, but it shouldn't be hard to find. Its not unhealthy as long as you buy the kind thats made for your body. Good Luck!
