*ahem*...upper lip...

stir_crazy

Waxing - means that I can do it at home. I'm too much of a woose to try epilators and the threading places I've seen in my area all seem to be in the middle of shopping centres so that everyone can have a good look at you while you're getting it done!

I use hair removal cream designed for the face, I have learnt though to stick to one brand because the others burn me terribly there!

For me they grow back softer and with threading you can honestly learn it at home so you can just do any hairs that come through as and when
youtube have tons of videos on threading it's honestly so simple to master

There is no stubble because the hairs are not broken off like shaving, they are pulled out by the root. They do grow back but softer and finer, and over time if you keep it up there is much less hair regrowth.

Also with waxing the hair has to be a certain length to be grabbed by the wax - threading can pick up a hair as small as a grain of sand (so I'm told!) but in any case it definitely leaves my skin much smoother than waxing, and lasts for longer.

I've never been able to master the art myself though... I wish I could!

Well ladies, I consulted my local salon(well, one of them) and she wants £12 to thread my upper lip!!!Is it me or is that expensive???!!

Dont really want to pay that much!think I may do hair removal cream, and then try threading-I really don't know. will prob call some more salons tomorrow too~!

Just reporting back- i used this for the first time this morning, on my upper lip, and am really pleased with it! Took seconds to remove the hair. Was a bit painful, but not anymore than any other methods such as plucking.
Well worth the £2 odd it cost me!
I got 2 in the packet, but no instructions as to how to use it, so i just searched 'how to use epicare threader' in youtube and videos came right up.
