Question

I have hair on my chin...I've tried Vaniqua, and laser therapy. Is there another option?

Answer 1

For me it's threading...........no other way .....i do it by my self ......u must also try .......

Answer 2

there is another option i heard of there's a place called Ziba where it does hena and it uses a thread only to remove a hair around the lips and does your eyebrows

Answer 3

You must be talking about light colored hairs, otherwise a proper course of laser treatments would have done the trick.

There are new lasers available that are able to target even light-colored hairs.  Do some research and find a place that treats grey, blonde or red hair.

Answer 4

Waxing is a good option, slightly painful but the pain does not last long. That thread thing, now that's painful but lasts a fairly long time! It would be best to research which option works best for you. Personally tweezing worked best for me, it seemed to last about as long as the waxing without all of the ****. Good luck!

Answer 5

There are quite a few ways actually:

*Plucking (tweezing): it takes a while, but it's effective for small amounts of hair

*Nads (no heat wax... no risk of burning yourself): quick, but can lead to some reddness for a few hours after

*Nair (it's a hair removal cream): it's smelly and you run the risk of getting a chemical burn. If you do try this, be sure to test it on a small patch of skin on your arm or your leg first. That way, if you do have a reaction, you won't have a mark on your face and it'll be less noticeable.

*Electrology: a small needle is inserted into the hair follicle, and electricy is passed through it to permanently kill the hair.

*Laser: Laser is expensive and you need between 3 and 8 treatments (each 1 month apart). It's good for large areas that would otherwise take too long to remove one hair at a time.

*Bleaching ("Jolene" cream bleach): this doesn't remove the hair, but it bleaches it so that it's far less noticeable. Again, be sure to test a small patch on your arm or leg first.

*Threading: this involes rubbing two pieces of thread over the hairs and it pulls them out. It's basically the same thing as tweezing except some people find it easier (it would be a better idea to get it done at a salon).

*Shaving: this can cause stubble and/or razor burn, but despite popular belief, it actually doesn't cause the hair to grow back thicker. The hair may LOOK thicker as it's growing in (because you'll see the blunt end where the hair was cut as opposed to the thinner end of the hair), but rest assured that nothing you do to hair ABOVE the skin (i.e. trimming, shaving, bleaching, etc.) will make the hair grow back thicker. Likewise, keep in mind that whenever you pull a hair out of the hair follicle (not including electrolosis), it WILL grow back thicker and darker eventually. I hope this helps and good luck with everything!

Answer 6

Do your research!

There are plenty of options out there, decide what's best for you.

Waxing. (Watch out for sensitive skin)

Bleaching (For thin hair)

Shaving (Not the best option)

Nair (Hair will grow back thicker!)

Laser therapy or electrolosis. (Is not a proven method - hair CAN grow back, can be painful AND expensive!)

Answer 7

it's often due to a hormonal imbalance...go get some blood work done to see if you have insufficient or excessive amounts of several different hormones that could cause it

Answer 8

What my friend always used to do was bleach the hair on her face.  It smells bad and the stench will burn your eyes a little bit but I can't see any hair on her face.  As I've seen from past experiences, Persians can have A LOT of facial hair.  This will save you a lot of trouble, time, and money trying to get rid of the hair.

If that doesn't work, you can always get a waxing kit preferably from a beauty store or an on-line store.  They are great for thicker hair that won't budge and will last about 2 weeks.  Good luck!

Answer 9

Wax it!
