Whats the normal thing for a 17 year old to do about upper lip hair?

wax it yes it is normal guys will notice the hair if you dont do anything about it

Yeah, 'Course it is. Wax it, It's just more noticeable because you have dark hair.

i've known a couple of girls with this, and they've always bleached or waxed it. i assume waxing would be the best option as for whether guys notice it, i wouldn't know. If it's dark then possibly. If girls have mentioned it to you then i assume guys will have noticed it aswell xxxx

It's tricky because some guys don't care about little things like that and others really do. But if YOU'RE worried about it then you should wax it. If it's not too long then bleach it. Make sure you get a professional to do it the first few times and get as much "do it at home" advice as you can so that when you do it yourself you don't injure yourself.

Most of the time it bothers us more than anyone else. Please do not shave it as it will grow back more course and look worse. Most men do not see it and if they do the smart ones wil not say anything as it is just part of who you are. If it is bothering you too much go and see a cosmetologist and they will help either by bleaching or waxing but once you start waxing it you will have to continue the rest of your life. In my opinion it is best to leave it alone or bleach it.

Waxing it is the most common and best option. It might hurt more, but it will keep the hair away for a while (;

Shaving, tweezing, hair removal chemicals, bleaching, waxing, lasering, or electrolysis are all possibilities. Shaving: Don't -- it will quickly grow back as stubble, just as men's facial hair does. Tweezing: You'll need a table lamp with a shade that directs light upward, a 10x mirror (available at drug stores), and a very good quality pair of tweezers (available at beauty supply stores). Stand over the lamp so you can see what you're doing in the strong light. Pull the hairs out in the direction they grow, so as not to deform the follicles. It's OK to just tweeze a few at a time, as long as you don't create bare patches. In fact it's better, because they'll grow back in at different times, not all at once. Another advantage over chemicals and waxing is that your skin remains normal looking. Hair removal chemicals: These dissolve the visible hairs. They can be rough on your skin, and of course all the normal pale fuzz goes away too, leaving a shiny bare area. Do some research at the drug store, being sure to look at formulas meant for the face, not the legs. Bleaching: Similar to bleaching the hair on the head, it turns the dark hairs blond, so they're far less conspicuous. Over time, the blond hairs disappear and are replaced with new, darker hairs, so the process needs to be repeated. It's generally a salon service, but can be done at home. Waxing: This is a service done at beauty salons. Warm wax is applied to the area, coating the hairs. When it cools and stiffens, it's pulled away, taking the hairs out with it. It can be briefly painful. The hairs reappear all together after a few weeks. I don't know much more about the waxing process. Lasering and electrolysis: Trained, licensed specialists carry out these procedures. Sometimes they're provided in large beauty salons, but more often they're done in dedicated facilities. They are expensive, but offer a more permanent solution. I don't know any more about lasering. With electrolysis, the esthetician inserts a very fine needle into the hair follicle, beside the hair. A low electric current destroys the spot at the base of the follicle that generates hair growth. The process is uncomfortable, not usually actually painful, but rather slow. Most people start out with fifteen-minute sessions at the most. A certain percentage of the follicles require a second treatment. You are right to want to get started on dealing with this beauty situation. Excess facial hair is not considered attractive.

Yes, you should get rid of it. If one guy notices it, he'll make jokes about you to his firends and you'll be known as miss moustache in no time. It's probably in your best interest to shave it or cut it or do whatever to make it invisible. I figured telling you the truth would be best. Guys avoid girls with facial hair.
