Facial Hair
I have extremely embarassing facial hair. I have a light mustache a couple stray hairs on my cheeks but very thick dark beard hair. It runs in my family and I shave it but it gives me dark bumps that are very noticable. I try to hide it from my husband but he notices I think. He has made little comments but for the most part we try to pretend it doesnt exist. I cry all the time because I dont know how to make this go away. I have to shave it everyday because I dont want him to accidentallly touch it and be really grossed out by me. I am african american so when I shave everyday I get the bumps like a black male would get. I really need advice on how to get rid of this!! -
Hi Deperate4Help!
I suggest 2 things:
1. Try waxing it off. It might hurt the first few times, but it's worth it because it removes the hair from the roots and weakens them so they don't grow as much and so quickly.
2. The best way I know for removing facial hair is called "threading" and involves using a twisted pure cotton thread in a particular way. I'm sure you coujld youtube it an figure out how to do your chin. If not find a beautician close by who can do it (the ones who are good at this technique are generally indian, pakistani or arab women).
I really hope this helps! -
