Ok,i am a 14/f and i sort of have a moustache. In the winter the hair gets very dark and you can tell i have one very easily, especially in the light. When i go to school, every once and a while i will hear someone say "you have a moustache" and just look at me. I think this is why i havent had a boyfriend in so long and no guy wants to kiss or go out with a girl that has some hair on her upper lip. I cant do anything to it because my family said that it will just get worse if i do. I dont want to say anything about it to anyone because it is very uncomfortable to talk about. If you can help me, thanks alot!

However, if you have it waxed, it will NOT get worse... it will actually get better over time. Waxing pulls the hair out by the root; over time, some of the hair folicles become damaged and don't grow back at all. Some hair will grow back, but it will come in soft and fine, not stubbly like it would with shaving. Then you just have it waxed off again, and each time, less and less will grow back.
I know several people who have their upper lip waxed once every couple weeks. It costs about $10, and they do it at most beauty salons.
Talk to your mom about it, and let her know how much it bothers you... that it's really a huge deal to you. If she's hesitant about letting you get it waxed, ask her to go with you to a waxer and just talk to them about it. Hopefully they'll be able to convince her that waxing will not make it worse.

Anyway, they make little bleaching kits. There are a lot of people that have the same problem as you. One of my close friends bleaches hers. The next time someone in your family goes to the grocery store, tag along and pick up a bleaching kit. [ uisforukelele's advice column | Ask uisforukelele A Question ]

if youre ever at a place such as a CVS, or any kind of typical drug store
get yourself so bleach excess hair creme
(itll say something like lightens dark unwanted hair)
there are instructions within the box
its pretty easy, and itll solve your problem completely.
if you cant get somewhere and buy it by yourself
say something to your mom, or a female in the family you feel closest to.
it shouldnt be too bad, just like if theyre going to like a target and they say oh do you need anything
and then you say ^^^ [ babiibananax3's advice column | Ask babiibananax3 A Question ]
