    Bleaching - What a wonderful thing.

    Hey ladies.
    So I was reading a thread about hair removal.

    Well I am dark skinned, I have pcos, and as you can imagine I have a fair amount of hair.

    Upper lip that mainly stands out, then a bit on my chin.

    I was always REALLY scared to touch it, because we all know, it grows back in darker and thicker.

    I had been previously bleaching my arm hair, as it makes me feel less self conscious about my arms, but one day a couple months ago, I thought... screw it! Im going to try it on my upper lip!

    I did, and honestly, I'm so glad that I did. I find that from a few feet back, you cannot even tell that I have any upper lip hair. I mean, yes its still there, but its not nearly as embarrassing as before.

    So for those of you like me, who are scared to touch it, consider bleaching.

    The only downside to this, is that I feel as if I have to bleach every so often.. couple of weeks etc. But my cousin who has the same problem has only ever bleached it twice, and its still barely noticible.

      I didnt bleach my skin, silly.

      I bleached the hair. But I use this stuff called Jolen. It costs about $5 for a small box of it, and it lasts a couple of months, for me anyways. You can pretty much buy it anywhere, walmart is where I get it.
