We all dream of being beautiful, and for this we resort to a bunch of cosmetics, as well as choose the right clothes and shoes for ourselves. But what if the problem cannot be solved by simply choosing a style? So I was faced with unpleasant hair above my upper lip. Mustaches that in seconds turned me from an attractive girl into Stalin’s grandson. What to do? Take everything into your own hands! My personal proven methods for dealing with unwanted hairs on the upper lip are below.
When such a delicate problem appeared, I began to dig in all directions and put all my energy into searching for information on the topic. From what and why? Suddenly, I’m somehow wrong or, even worse, am I the only one with such a fiasco on my face. It turned out that this is a frequent companion of many ladies, especially those who have coarse, thick hair on their heads, and if they are black in addition, then they are generally a guard. The mustache will be so visible that at least comb your hair!
It turned out that all this is not heredity, which I sinned most of all, since my dad had a rather impressive mustache, and there was an excess of testosterone in my body. This occurs due to some minor hormonal disruptions, as well as as a result of nervous strain, etc. All this was told to me by an endocrinologist, whom I saw at a time when I didn’t know where to run with my “disease.”
The doctor explained that this is a problem for every second woman
, it does not require treatment and is not at all dangerous, you just need to choose a suitable means for removal, since my tests were not bad. Filled with hope for a better outcome, I hurried home to choose the best method, since the mustache above my upper lip was growing on an incredible scale. “And I will look beautiful,” I decided and began to act.
If your mustache is barely noticeable, and even more so if you are blonde, then consider yourself doubly lucky – you don’t really need to do anything, just use eyebrow tweezers, which are in every woman’s cosmetic bag. And carefully pull out all unnecessary hairs. As you grow, you simply repeat this procedure and, voila! Your appearance is wonderful! To avoid irritation after such pinpoint pulling, you need to apply any moisturizer.
But what should people like me do? Who has a mustache that can be seen from a mile away, as if I were a disguised male representative in a skirt? As it turns out, there are more radical methods. I'll look at each in more detail.
Everyone has seen this advertisement, when a girl, after using the cream, beautifully lowered a silk scarf onto her leg, and it slid down like clockwork. After using this depilatory cream, your cheeks will be as smooth as a baby's. "Why not? – I thought. “What if it helps to remove the mustache above the lip?” These creams contain some kind of chemical enzymes that dissolve the hair follicle.
Having done everything according to the instructions, I found enlightenment - the antennae disappeared before my eyes and did not appear for five days. I walked around inspired and thought that I had found my best remedy, but that was not the case. After the specified period, by the way, the box says that the skin will be smooth for at least two weeks, the mustache began to grow with a vengeance, and in three days I again became a relative of Stalin.
Pros: quick removal, inexpensive cream, easy to use.
Minuses: short-lived result, increased hair growth after use.
And a friend who used the same cream also developed an allergy, which turned into dermatitis. So check the cream on your wrist before using it, otherwise, along with a mustache above your upper lip, you can get redness all over your face.
When I first heard this word, I thought it was some kind of sophisticated curse, but I still found out what was what and decided to try this method. called a type of sugar depilation.
In order to remove hairs using this method, you need to prepare a special paste. Her recipe is below:
All this needs to be mixed, then put on low heat and heated for a long time until the sugar turns into fine caramel and becomes a thick brown color. Next, you need to apply a warm, slightly cooled, sweet mixture to the place where there are hairs, in my case, to the place of the mustache above the upper lip, and cover with a fabric strip.
It’s better to take regular fabric; cotton is fine. Then we wait about 5 minutes and suddenly tear off the fabric strip. Hair sticks to this mixture without any residue. To avoid irritation, it is better to anoint with a soothing gel or lotion after the procedure.
And again my mood crept up - the antennae were gone! The joy, however, lasted exactly a week, well, at least I ate caramels from the remaining paste.
Pros: simple, cheap, practically no side effects, except for irritation from the process itself.
Minuses: very painful, short-lived result, long waiting time: both during the preparation process and during the hardening process under the strip.
I’ll say right away: never do this! Shaving will only make things worse - the mustache will grow faster, and also become stiffer and darker, which is what happened to me at the beginning of my struggle with unwanted hair. Shaving in the evening - in the morning there is already stubble.
Pros: there are none!
Minuses: all of the above!
Having turned to sugaring, I stopped fighting for a while and lived from week to week, however, at one point I thought, what if there was an even more radical method that could also be done at home, I really didn’t want to go and embarrass myself to a beauty salon where people do their hair, and I show up with my mustache.
And then I discovered waxing or hot waxing. It was all just a matter of buying a suitable kit in a store or pharmacy and following the instructions to begin the removal procedure. I did just that, keeping in mind good sugaring, and the result exceeded all expectations! The skin above my upper lip became so smooth, as if I was a baby and there was no trace of those creepy mustaches that spoil my whole appearance. And the most important thing is time, I waited a week, the hairs did not grow! The second came to an end and - oh, miracle! Everything remained as before, and only in the middle, in the third week, I noticed that timid thin hairs were breaking through again. Well, I thought it was “almost” forever and got used to my updated appearance.
Pros: long-term results, hair becomes thinner, easy to use.
Minuses: the price can be high due to the quality of the wax, as well as the place of purchase - it is more expensive in pharmacies. It’s very painful, in salons, I’ve even heard they give anesthesia, but beauty requires sacrifice. You can get burned in the process, because the wax is very hot.
After waxing became increasingly affordable, I thought that, probably, There are also folk remedies to solve my delicate problem. One friend advised me to use Datura grass seeds and walnut shells. The seeds need to be ground into flour, pour vodka into the mixture and leave for three weeks. Use this mixture to wipe areas with unwanted vegetation. The shells also need to be crushed and cooked over low heat for about 20 minutes. The resulting composition should also be applied to problem areas.
I've tried both methods, and here's my short summary: Absolutely not! After datura herb, a terrible burning sensation and allergies appear, you also need to remember that it is poisonous and should not be used in large doses. Moreover, my hairs above my upper lip have not gone away, only slightly thinned and began to fall out. And a week later, they returned again.
The mixture with walnuts did not cause allergies, but gave the same temporary effect.
Pros: simple, low cost.
Minuses: causes allergies, the effect is almost zero.
I was also advised to wipe my upper lip with a mixture of 6 percent hydrogen peroxide and 5 drops of ammonia. That turned out to be sadism! These procedures cause peeling of the skin, but the hairs remain in place.
After all the ordeals, I finally turned to the nearest beauty salon with my unusual request. It turned out that my problem was solved very quickly and efficiently. There were three modern methods to choose from.
In the first method, the hair follicle or follicle, as the cosmetologist explained, is exposed to real current, as a result of which it is completely destroyed. It takes at least two minutes for each hair, but the result is stunning: the hairs will disappear forever!
In the second method, the effect is carried out with a special laser beam, which splits the hair shaft, and then the bulb itself. This method is less reliable, however, it is more gentle and the procedure is not as painful. And the price is quite steep.
The third method works well with light hair, irradiating the bulbs with a flash lamp and thereby destroying them, but problems may arise with dark, gray and red hairs. Photoepilation also has a number of contraindications for people with heart disease and diabetes.
After listening to different opinions and consulting with my cosmetologist, I finally settled on the first option. And you know, I didn’t regret it one bit! Yes, it was unpleasant, as if you were in the very center of a pincushion and sharp pins were constantly poking at you, but the result exceeded all expectations! The skin became smooth and soft immediately after the procedure. And now, almost a year has passed, and I forgot about my little problem, because now I always look attractive, and you quickly get used to good things. On my own behalf, I want to say that you need not to give up and look for a solution. After all, if there is an entrance to any situation, it means that there is an exit somewhere nearby. Good luck with your search!

The cause of excess hair growth above the upper lip in women (hirsutism) is most often the increased production of male sex hormones (hyperandrogenism). This condition requires a detailed examination of the patient by a gynecologist-endocrinologist.
The reasons may be different:
There are several methods for getting rid of hair on a woman’s face, in particular mustaches. They can be divided into two categories: salon and home. Many girls prefer to remove mustaches at home, because it is both easier and, needless to say, significantly cheaper.
Let's look at methods for getting rid of mustaches that can only be done in a clinic or beauty salon:
To get rid of unwanted tendrils, you only need regular cotton or silk thread. You will have to be patient a little, because this method involves pulling out. But it is much more convenient than plucking with tweezers, since with the help of a thread you can grab not one, but several hairs at once. In addition, the appearance of pimples, irritation or ingrown hairs after using the thread is minimal.
How to use depilatory thread correctly:
We bring to your attention instructions for removing antennae using wax:
According to one of the recipes, you will need the following ingredients: sugar (10 tablespoons), juice of half a lemon and water (1 tablespoon). You need to mix everything in an enamel bowl. Heat over low heat until a brown homogeneous mass is obtained. You can use a slightly warm (not hot!) mixture.
Sugaring removes not only long but also short hairs. The effect lasts for 4 weeks on average, and after each procedure the hairs become thinner and thinner each time. Sugaring does not cause allergies, has no contraindications, the skin exfoliates and is nourished.
The procedure itself proceeds as follows: degrease the skin with lotion and sprinkle with talcum powder, apply a thin layer of paste to the skin, and place a fabric strip on top. The fabric should stick. Next, with a sharp movement, tear off the fabric along the hair growth.
When sugaring, the paste is always applied against hair growth and removed according to growth. This nuance allows you to avoid the appearance of ingrown hairs.
It is necessary to choose a cream intended specifically for the face. The hair in the bikini area, on the legs and on the face varies greatly in coarseness, so you should not use products designed for depilation on the legs to remove mustaches.
Instructions for using mustache removal cream for girls:
The procedure is as follows: you need to slightly stretch the skin and pull out the hair in the direction of growth, then wipe the skin with a disinfectant, for example, peroxide, and then lubricate it with an emollient cream.
The plucking procedure is quite painful, and irritation may occur after it. Disinfection and lubrication with cream will help avoid this.
Some girls believe that after plucking, the hairs begin to grow stronger and become thicker. Sometimes this is true, but if you regularly pluck, it will still give the desired effect and you will be rid of the mustache.
Of course, not every day, like for men, but still quite often, especially for dark-haired girls, who, as we indicated above, are most prone to the appearance of excess facial hair. In addition, after shaving, the mustache may grow more intensively. This method, therefore, cannot be considered the best and most effective.
Before using any of the methods below, you should test for an allergic reaction. To do this, place a drop of peroxide on your wrist and wait at least 15 minutes. If no rash or redness appears on the skin, you can begin to bleach the antennae.
Peroxide bleaching can be done in different ways:

A mustache is facial hair that is unique to men, as we used to think.

Here are some of the reasons why you are one of the lucky ones:
Unwanted hair above the lip can be removed using a wax strip. Yes, you will have to gather your strength and be patient, because it will hurt. But you do understand that beauty requires sacrifice? But thanks to this option, hair on your face will not grow for about four more weeks!
Sugaring (or sugar hair removal) will help remove mustaches. How to do sugaring? Now you'll understand...
That's right, exactly the recipe. But it is not recommended to taste what is cooked. For the recipe you will need:
All components must be mixed and the resulting mixture brought to a boil. After this, cook it over low heat until the resulting mass turns brown.
Let the “dish” cool for about three to five minutes, then roll into a small ball and apply to the area of hair you want to get rid of. Sharply pull the sugaring “strip” to the side and anoint the epilation area with a soothing cream.
It hurts, but not qualitatively.
If all of the above methods do not suit you, then perhaps you will agree to solve your problem by going to a salon where you will be rid of unwanted facial hair.
The first method is laser hair removal, during which hair follicles are destroyed under the influence of laser radiation. This method is more suitable for those girls who have fair skin but dark hair. You can get rid of mustaches after the first session forever! But it may be that the cost of such a procedure will unpleasantly surprise you.
The second is electrolysis hair removal, during which the follicle is destroyed under the influence of electric current. We warn you that this procedure is painful and can guarantee the complete disappearance of hair from your face forever only after several such sessions.
Bioepilation includes epilation using hot, warm, cold wax and sugar. This procedure will please you with its results for about two or three weeks.
Photoepilation is a method of removing unwanted hair using krypton lamps, the principle of which is similar to a photo flash. The result lasts a long time, and this method is more economical than all other types. But before you decide on this method, you need to be thoroughly familiar with the contraindications.
Method one. How to remove antennae using Datura seeds.
You need to finely grind the seeds and pour vodka over them and mix. Then let the seeds brew for exactly three weeks. You should have a thick mixture. You need to lubricate your antennae with it for ten or fifteen days. After some time you will be able to see the result of your work. The antennae above the lip will begin to fall out on their own. But if you decide to use this method, then you should be very careful, because Datura is a very poisonous herb!
Method two. How to remove antennae using walnut shells.
You need to fill the shell with water and place it in a water bath, after which the shell should stay there for about an hour. The resulting decoction should be wiped over the skin above the upper lip. The antennae will become lighter and thinner, and their growth rate will slow down.
To prepare you will need:
Pour the sugar into a saucepan, and in a cup, mix water and vinegar, then add them to the sugar. After this, stir the resulting mixture and place on low heat. The brew needs to be stirred. At the moment when the sugar dissolves, add a third of the bubble of brilliant green. Continue stirring the “dish” until it turns a dark green color and its consistency becomes thick. Then remove the cooked mixture from the heat and let it cool. The warm mass needs to be transferred to another glass container. Before doing this, do not forget to wrap it with cling film.
After the resulting mass has cooled, you can begin to remove hairs. Break off a piece of “clay”, which should then be slightly kneaded and glued to the area of the skin with the antennae. Stuck it? Now tear it off immediately. Here is the result.
We wish you good luck in your fight against facial mustaches. We hope that one of the methods listed in this article will be able to please you with its results.
Hair above the upper lip in girls and women is an unpleasant and delicate problem. It occurs due to increased levels of testosterone (male hormone) in the body. And this is not always a disease that requires treatment. There are many ways to explain how to get rid of a mustache above the upper lip. The more a person is informed about them, the easier it is for him to choose the right remedy.

During electrolysis, hair follicles are treated with a weak current. As a result, the hairs are destroyed, which prevents their regrowth. This method takes a lot of time (the current acts on one hair for up to two minutes) and is painful. Such filigree work requires the highest level of skill from a cosmetologist. But the method is considered the most reliable and will help get rid of the problem forever.
A more efficient method (but also less reliable) is laser hair removal. It involves exposing the hair roots to a laser beam. This contributes to their effective destruction. First, the laser affects the shaft, then the hair follicles. Compared to electrolysis, laser hair removal is not as painful, but it is more expensive.
The newest method for removing unwanted facial hair is photoepilation. Using a flash lamp, streams of light affect the hair follicles, destroying them. Photoepilation easily copes with light hairs, but it is better to remove gray and red mustaches with electricity. This procedure has contraindications, which requires prior consultation with a doctor.

If there is no irritation, it can be safely applied to the area with unwanted hairs. If irritation occurs, you should turn to other home remedies.
Those with fine hair can use hydrogen peroxide (3% solution) to bleach. In the morning, after washing your face, you need to wipe the area with the antennae with it. It should be remembered that this product dries the skin, whitening it along with the hairs.
Sugaring, or sugar depilation, gives a good result in the fight against mustaches. It requires preparing a paste with the following ingredients:
All ingredients should be mixed in an enamel bowl. Place over low heat and heat until smooth and brown.
Apply the slightly cooled, warm mixture to the upper lip. Place a strip of fabric on top. When the paste thickens, the strip should be torn off with a sharp movement along the hair growth. If irritation appears after the procedure, it can be relieved with a soothing cream.
Shaving is not always recommended due to the potential for active hair growth. But it helps for some time to quickly and easily remove the mustache above the upper lip. The disadvantage of this method is possible cuts and irritation of the skin. Therefore, excellent quality machines and appropriate cosmetics are required.
The procedure of waxing (waxing) is also possible at home. It is quite painful, but of all the remedies it is the most effective. In a pharmacy or store, you should select a kit that is suitable in terms of quality and price with all the necessary components and follow the attached instructions. Regular procedures give excellent results. The area above the upper lip remains hairless for up to three weeks.
When using the described methods of depilation, you need to understand that with their help the visible part of the antennae is removed. The depilatory effect does not affect the hair root. It is located in the deep layers of the skin. The effect is achieved temporary from 1 to 3 weeks.
