You actually do not need to worry, as waxing or removing darker or thicker facial hair does not make more hair grow, or make hairthicker, as the myth leads people to believe.
Dark upper lips are a sign of dry skin and/or sensitivity problems. Waxing and other hair removal methods can result in a dark upper lip when the skin isn't healthy enough to withstand the treatment.
On waxing the upper lip
However, it can have temporary effects on the upper lip like burning or redness because waxing goes considerably deeper into the skin than threading. However, if you have sensitive or oily, acne-prone skin or issues like rosacea, waxing may not be the best choice for your upper lip.
Do boys notice if a girl has upper lip hair? Well, the answer is that a large number of men first notice a woman's fine soft hair (lanugo). But many men also said they pretend not to notice anything. ... However, about 40% of men said they would never remark on it to their wife, girlfriend or crush.
However, repeated ripping of the hair from its follicle via waxing or plucking (which is essentially the same thing, when you think about it) will make hair grow back thicker, darker and coarser… and frequently, more plentiful and faster to re-grow.
If a person wants to remove their facial hair permanently, they can try electrolysis. Electrolysis destroys the growth of the hair at the base of the hair follicle, which means the hair is unable to grow back.
Creamy wax may be significantly better for the delicate skin on the upper lip because it's one of the gentlest waxes. It's also easier to work with than honey waxes, because it's less sticky.
Finally, as you continue waxing regularly, you'll notice your hair regrowth coming in finer, softer, weaker, less pigmented, slower… allowing you to stay smoother, longer. You'll be able to push future wax appointments out further and further. And ultimately the hair may stop growing altogether.
"Any rough movements on the skin can irritate the skin, but [they] won't cause wrinkles," Dr. Peredo tells SELF. "And even the pulling of the skin won't lead to wrinkles." Dr. Charles agrees that this concept is just a myth and says that he hasn't found any significant correlation between waxing and wrinkles.
Facial waxing can also cause mild redness and irritation temporarily after use. You may notice that freshly waxed skin is pink or red, and slightly sensitive to the touch. Your everyday facial products may also burn so you should avoid alcohol-based toners after waxing your face.
For example, it's common for hairs on the face to grow thicker, coarser and faster during menopause or if you suffer from a health condition like polycystic ovary syndrome. However, in most cases you can expect an upper lip wax to last for up to a month before you need to return for a repeat treatment.
While it depends on many factors, results from waxing can last up to 6 weeks. However, this doesn't mean you're hair-free for this long. You'll probably start to see new hair growth around 3 to 4 weeks. Your skin is affected by more than what you put on it.
Wax lips remained popular all through the 20th century, but have since died down in popularity. The legacy of the original red wax lips created by Glenn Confections is being continued with Wack-O-Wax, produced by Concord Confections via Tootsie-Roll Industries, who acquired the patent for the lip design in 2002.
There are various ways: threading shaving waxing Nair electrolysis and of course lasers. Here's what I tell patients about lasers. As you may have heard, the best results for laser hair removal are achieved on dark hairs against a fair skin background. However, other factors influence the treatment process.
The only way to permanently eliminate unwanted hair is a process called electrolysis. Electrolysis is performed by inserting a tiny needle into the hair follicle and using an electric current to kill the hair root.
It is natural for both men and women to have some upper lip hair, but people may prefer to remove it. Creams, razors, electronic tools, and natural methods can remove the hair temporarily, and people can see a dermatologist for permanent removal.
Even a slight increase in androgen or imbalance between your male and female sex hormones — which everyone has — can result in more terminal hairs in places you may not expect, like your chin. There are a number of factors at play when it comes to facial hair.
Women develop excessive body or facial hair due to higher-than-normal levels of androgens, including testosterone. All females produce androgens, but the levels typically remain low. Certain medical conditions can cause a woman to produce too many androgens.
Will waxed hair grow back thicker? Nope! "The hair generally grows back the same — though everyone seems to have their own theory or old wives' tale about it," says Grochowska, who adds that generally, most people find that long-term waxing will result in less regrowth.
Your skin may darken
Post-inflammatory pigmentation may occur on your skin after your waxing session, which may lead your skin to appear darker. This means that due to the hot wax being applied on your skin and ripping action, your skin may react by producing pigment that cause dark spots.
When you wax, the hair grows back, but it's lighter than it was prior to the waxing. Over time, even the regrown hair will be less and less noticeable! That will make your skin softer, more attractive, and easier to manage.
Some people say your facial hair will grow in thicker after waxing, but this old wives' tail is false. Waxing will often damage hair follicles in the treated hair to result in thinner hair and less regrowth. With repeated waxing treatments, your unwanted hair will likely become noticeably thinner and more sparse.
"No," said Natalia, explaining, "If you do wax consistently, the roots of your hair will become very loose and the hair will be disappearing little by little and there will be less and less." Speaking of consistency, I wondered what it was like to maintain the no-mustache look.
