Dermaplaning is just shaving plus paying more.

And gives you stubble.

Don't do anything involving a razor OP

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. I used to wax but now I use a small tinkle razor. So much easier, quicker and pain-free!

Same, the tinkle razors are convenient and great. My boys used them when they didn't have enough growth for a full shave too.

Anyone have suggestions about what to do with the nose hair that is in the exposed part of the nostril (at the base)? I'm doing laser for the upper lip right now but the tech was unsure about getting that part and I'm thinking maybe I should have electrolysis in that area?

Compare and contrast for us, PP! Which method keeps the hair away longer? threading or shaving?

DP here. I am a hairy Indian too . I do believe that threading is better because the regrowth is not stubbly. I learned to thread it myself and would take a few seconds to thread my upper-lip in the morning. But, once I got it lasered...it was a game changer.

So, my 2 cents is to get it lasered. My laser was a YAG laser.

+1 it's excruciatingly painful but after awhile less hair grows back, you need to use it less frequently, and you're kind of used to the pain by then.

While I agree laser is the gold standard, it is absurd to claim that shaving or waxing will make it grow back thicker. Ridiculous! Stop spreading misinformation.

OP your daughter has pale skin and dark hair. First of all, that is the perfect combination to do laser! Second of all, when you wax or shave, the hair grows back again and with that combination of skin and hair, the regrowth becomes immediately obvious. Your daughter will become a slave to her razor. I highly recommend laser.

No, it doesn't go back thicker no matter the removal method-that's absurd.

The easiest method is using the battery operated face razors that look like lipstick cases. She can do it herself at home, it doesn't hurt at all, and they work great on light facial hair.

Yes it does grow back thicker if you wax or pluck. The follicles themselves get thicker. I know from experience.

I did laser for my full legs, arm pits, upper lip, and chin in my 30s.

My legs and armpits never grew back. As I aged (now in my 60s), lip and chin did start to sprout again, so I bought another laser package and took care of it. I highly recommend laser.

Get it lasered! Don't shave or wax. It will only get thicker. It is worth the investment.

No it doesn't.

I’m in my 50s, and everyone I know who waxed for decades has weird wrinkles around their mouths.

I never waxed, and I don’t have these wrinkles.

If you are young and haven’t noticed this, give it some time.

Agree. I’d use a dermaplane or the flawless finishing tool for now. When she is up to it- get laser hair removal.

Do not bleach it. She will just have a different colored mustache. Kids will tease her.
Get the dermaplaning razors. Waxing might be irritating.
