No Stache Hair Removal
By Samantha Willows
Women don't want all that hair in places other than on their head! With
either heredity or age, the ladies are bound to get a moustache on their upper
lip and it's never ever welcomed. Hair removal is a a must when it
appears in places it should not.
When it came to hair removal, first there was shaving, and then came the
plethora of creams, lotions and potions to remove hair, then there was waxing,
and even electrolysis. Now gals, there's yet another method you may choose for
hair removal of that unwanted stache on your upper lip. It's called
Threading.
Threading is done at salons or can also be done at home. This is not a painless
hair removal technique. The process removes the fine and fuzzy hair right
from the root. If it sounds like painful hair removal, you're right, but
you may want to consider the options.
If you shave your lip, it'll come back stubbly, eventually like a man. Well,
hey, not always. I confess, I've resorted to this and you know what? It's still
fuzzy. Hair removal by way of shaving may be a problem, but
sometimes it's a shortcut.
If you use a cream for hair removal, you're subjecting yourself to chemical
reactions and it doesn't rid the hair at the root, so it'll likely just grow
back faster and thicker. And excuse me for saying this, if you're at the root
level, those toxins are also going into your body. So, is this the type of
hair removal for you?
If you've ever had your lip waxed, ripping that sucker off hurts too. Talk
about torture. What will women do to look good for men? Shish! Not to mention
the bright red upper lip for hours and the small beady blisters for a week. Ick.
And just plucking your hairs out isn't exactly fun either!
Many women say the best method of hair removal from the upper lip is
threading. One of the benefits is that you don't have to wait for hair to grow a
certain length. The concept is that you're going to get the hair twisted and
spun into the thread and thusly yanking, gently yanking it off your face. It
might be difficult for you to visualize the procedure, so you may want to have
it done in a salon first if you're not getting the full gist of what needs to
happen.
To start take about 24 inches of thread length. Yes, the sewing thread, any
kind, nothing special so long as you use a good quality, strong thread. Take
both ends and tie them, together in a knot. You'll have a circle of thread when
you're done tying the ends together. Next hold the thread with both hands and
wind them around (loop around) your hands about ten times. Then place the thread
around the fingers of both hands. Push the part that is wound up towards one
hand by widening the fingers of one hand and at the same time closing the
fingers of the other hand. Use an alternating "open/close" motion with opposite
hands.
Does this sound fun yet? This sounds like something from the article on the
history of hair removal, not something people would subject themselves to
today... but hey, here's how the rest of this techniques is done...
By opening the fingers of the closed hand and closing the fingers of the other
hand, you're pushing the wound portion in the other direction. It will take some
practice. Keep pushing the wound up portion back and forth until you are able to
push it back and forth easily. Once you have the hang of it, you might be ready
to start practicing on a body part. Don't use the upper lip as a practice point.
Try the leg or some other body part that is easily accessible.
By now I've gotten a stomach ache. Maybe an ice-cream will do the trick. What
do you think? You want to know more? Ok... here's the rest of the story on
threading for hair removal.
Begin by placing the thread on the portion of your leg or elsewhere that you are
going to first try. Place the wound part on one end of the hair, and the thread
from the other side should be on both sides of the hair you want to remove.
Next, move the wound portion to the other side, making sure that it catches the
hair while moving. It will then lift the hair from the root as it moves back and
forth.
And there's still a little more to explain here about this type of hair
removal. If you've read this far, I've got to give you lots of kudo's because
honey... this stuff is not for the wimpy gals.
After you've practiced this method and are fairly comfortable with it, move onto
your upper lip. It'll be quick and easy... (yah right) taking only a couple of
minutes every other day. How wonderful will it be to always have a hairless lip!
So, for a few days of torture, you'll be hairless on the upper lip. Yippee...
methinks.
If all else fails, you may not be an expert threader, but you will at least know
what someone is talking about next time they mention threading and they're not
referring to cross-stitching! I think I'll stick to shaving. Lol!
