Do you think it's safe to self-wax the hair above my lip?

like all my myself?Do you think it's safe to self-wax the hair above my lip?
yes... try cold wax strips. less messy and you can cut the strips out to fit your upper lipDo you think it's safe to self-wax the hair above my lip?
I guess it depends on the product. Some over the counter waxes are more trouble than they are worth and are very messy and hardly effective. I used one the other day on my lip and I had to wax and strip like six times before I gave up in pain...and I still had some stray hairs here and there. You should let someone else do it, preferably a professional but a friend with a good eye, steady hand and patience is also good. Be sure to use the oil that comes with the product (and maybe some alcohol) or you will break out.
It can be done %26amp; there are pre-waxed strips cut just for this purpose. (ex. Parissa or Moujan)





Apply it only once on each side- repeatedly applying %26amp; ripping it off to get it right/remove all the hairs will irritate your skin.





It takes practice %26amp; confidence.
if you know how then sure its safe! but if you dont you might just get a rash or something.. so be around someone who knows first and see if youre doing the right thing..
yeah, i don't see anything wrong with it... i've done it... just make sure you follow the instruction of the wax hair removal stuff that you buy.
no


let the professional do that for you
Yes. I do it all the time....same as the eyebrows. It's not a big deal.
its safe

    Cover it up with foundation :]


    then put either concealer on makeup


    to hide the color :]





    BA?

    it's beautiful to have a mole near eyebrows.
    i thinks moles are cute actually....leave it alone and try not to wax the mole anymore thats not good for your moles
    try naturol tone color....over top of it like make-up.鈾モ櫏
    kay, if it is such a big deal cover it with make up....duh!


    but i myself think moles are cute, even around the eyebrow. well depending on how many there is...LOL
    Never wax or pluck hair from a mole. It greatly increases your chances of growing cancerous cells.


    A good waxer would never knowingly wax a mole.


    Maybe concealer would help?
    If you can't cover it with foundation you can get it cut of its sounds horrible but its only a simple trip to your GP I've had a few cut off and it takes about a week to heal but worth it in the long run.If your the type of person that doesn't scar much you'll never have to worry about it again.
    Use an eyebrow pencil and draw over it.


    Use light strokes to draw over it.


    Make sure to get a color that matches your eyebrow color.


    Good luck on your first day of school! :D
    What's the big deal, it's just a mole! Totally natural and I'm sure no one will notice it but you. Covering up every single day will be very tedious.

    Hair removal? Anyone use an epilator? Usually wax but am thinking about buying an epilator? Any advice?

    Should i stay with waxing or go for the epilator?Hair removal? Anyone use an epilator? Usually wax but am thinking about buying an epilator? Any advice?
    I say you stay with waxing .. a lot less painful and very quick .. epilators are torture .. leave my skin red and stinging ..Hair removal? Anyone use an epilator? Usually wax but am thinking about buying an epilator? Any advice?
    hi, there i think u shud stay with waxing only as its best and u never get any type of side effects with it


    but i not sure tht for wat body part r u asking if cn mention go for it then it ll bmore easy to tell u .........
    As someone whos used all methods of hair removal, i'd highly recommend you'd stick with waxing. Even if you think your pain threshold is high, epilating really hurts to the point it's ineffective because you simply cant bring yourself to continue with it. And it gives similar results to waxing anyway-same amount of 'grab' on shorter hairs.
    Hi


    I just buy epilator and believe it is very horrible


    I have pen using epilator and also some rashes


    my skin is sensitive but I feel epilatoe is not good


    idea use wax or hair remove cream


    Personal experience


    I hope this help U


    Good Luck!!!

    Can I shave during the month leading up to laser hair removal. I know I can't tweeze or wax. Thanks!?

    Rather ask the people who would be performing the lhr on you, opinion here would vary and might not be accurate. Also for all we know different centres could have different rules regarding that.Can I shave during the month leading up to laser hair removal. I know I can't tweeze or wax. Thanks!?
    i would ask a professional to be sure


    but from what i know, during the time between treatments they actually tell you to shave the area anyway so i think it should be fine :)Can I shave during the month leading up to laser hair removal. I know I can't tweeze or wax. Thanks!?
    I would say yes as you are only taking away the hair from the surface - not from the root (as long as the hair has a root for the laser to be effective) and as you said do not wax or pluck the hairs away
    i think you should ask a professional.... dont rely on people that come to yahoo answers because they have nothing better to do... :]

    the best there is!!!!!!!!!!Hair shampoo and conditioners that don't contain wax or plastic?
    It's best to use shampoos and conditioners that don't contain sulfates. An inexpensive one is Loreal Everpure. Wash your hair every 2 days, blot dry, don't put it up turban style as it can DAMAGE your hair. Cut your use of heating tools to 4x a week. Blow drying is the least damaging to your hair. I let my hair dry naturally most of the way then blow it out for a more polished look. I use Alba natural cocoa butter as a styling product but it makes my hair look sooo healthy!

    Ingrown hair from bikini wax?

    I had a bikini wax done a few months ago( wasn't the first time) and shortly after I got this bump that looks like an ingrown hair. I kinda forgot about it until my next bikini wax, so of course I tried getting the hair out. But I guess I only made it worse cause it got all red and it hurt a lot more. I haven't touched it since then and the redness went down. But it hurts if i squeeze it. How do I get rid of it.?Ingrown hair from bikini wax?
    #1





    For ingrown pubic hairs along the bikini line, hold a hot compress against ingrown spots for ten minutes three times a day to soften the skin and help the hairs work their way out.





    #2





    Wear loose-fitting underwear and clothing until the bumps are gone to avoid friction.





    #3





    Some find it helpful to exfoliate the area before waxing. This removes some of the dead skin cells in the top layer of skin cells that often contribute to trapping the hairs.





    Exfoliating options include creams, lotions, or body gels, a slightly abrasive washcloth or glove specifically designed for exfoliation. Check at the beauty counter at your local department store.





    #4





    Do not exfoliate the skin if you already have ingrown pubic hairs as further skin irritation may result.





    #5





    When waxing, be sure to pull the hair out by the roots. Do not allow the hair to break below the skin surface.





    #6





    Use Ingrown Hair Treatment (see below). It prevents pubic ingrown hair and eliminates existing ingrown hair within days.





    Additional note: For ingrown hairs which are deep, sterilize a pair of needle-nosed tweezers with rubbing alcohol and individually lift each ingrown hair out of its follicle. Wipe the area with alcohol afterwards and shave.





    If needle-nosed tweezers are not available, wipe a pin or needle and the ingrown area with rubbing alcohol, then carefully release the hair in the direction that it grows using the tip of the needle only. After the hair is released, wipe the skin with alcohol again.Ingrown hair from bikini wax?
    Pluck through the loop of hair with a needle or a pin and then pluck it out using tweezers. Hope that helps!
    The source below discusses the ingrown hair skin problem.
    thats sick...
    dig it gently with a sewing needle.


    i get this loads, and this is how i fix it.


    i find it grossly satisfying digging it out.


    i'll do it for you if you want? (joke)
    exfoliate the **** out of it and itll go!
