Q&A for How to Remove Your Mustache (for Girls)

They literally dissolve the hair, typically where it sits at the point of origin. It should leave your skin fairly smooth, and I'd say it produces a result similar to shaving.

In this case, you may be best off simply grabbing some tweezers and physically removing the hair. If you wax or shave just that one spot, it may look a little off.

To avoid shaving facial hair, you can try any of the following options: waxing, electrolysis, laser removal, threading, or a depilatory cream. Bleaching, tweezing, and sugaring are other methods that you can try.

You can, but shaving your mustache isn't always the best option because the effects are so short-lived and you might end up finding yourself shaving daily. You might prefer to use more effective treatments like waxing, laser hair removal, or electrolysis.

Yes, you can pluck or use tweezers to remove mustache hairs. Just be aware that some people may find the pain too intense, in which case you should stop and try something else. If this method is used long term (over many years), you may find the upper lip hairs stop growing or grow back thinly only, due to trauma to the hair follicles. However, this may or may not occur and if it does stop hair growth, such a result will take a long while. In the meantime, hair regrowth may seem darker for some people.

A woman may grow a mustache for hormonal reasons, such as changes in hormone levels during menopause, etc., hormonal imbalances (such as having excess testosterone), or a hormonal disorder. It may be a hereditary condition. In some cases, it may be due to changes in weight, such as becoming overweight. Or, it may be due to an ovarian tumor or PCOS. It is important to see your doctor or dermatologist for a proper confirmation of the reason and to develop a plan of action tailored to you.

Of course! In fact, over 90% of girls have hair on their upper lips, starting from about the age of eight or nine (sometimes even birth, though it is typically when puberty begins). Many models, actresses, and celebrities in general wax their upper lips, so you may not be used to seeing girls with hair there. However, it is completely normal. If it makes you feel self conscious, shaving it or waxing (the quicker and more effective option) is possible. However, it's completely normal and nothing to be ashamed of!

It depends entirely on personal skin sensitivity. For the most part, it should be fine. Start out by using a 'mild' bleach as these are less harsh on the skin. Similarly, there are a wide range of 'sensitive' bleaches on the market that will be useful for young skin. Fortunately, skin has stem cells that are amazing for renewal and repair, so, there should not be long term damage. However, short term damage such as redness/irritation/bumpiness is likely to occur.

Never shave it, it makes the ends blunt and gives the illusion of thicker hair on your upper lip. It also leads to stubble when it grows back in.

Waxing does slow it down, but the individual hairs grow at different rates. That is why some people say that when you wax it grows back thinner - that is not true, but it does grow slower. Waxing does not permanently stop the hairs from growing back, but it does slow it down.

Yes, indeed. However, you will have to wait a bit longer for electrolysis or laser as owing to your youthful hormones, the hair will grow back almost immediately, which is waste of your money and effort. If you can handle the pain, then you can do the other methods; just be careful.
