Question 1

will shaving the hair above my top lip make it grow back longer and darker? i just did then and i'm freaking out cause i've heard rumours it does

Accepted Answer

Stubble Trouble...: Sure! If you want to believe the people in the 'beauty' business...who have NO interest in selling you product, right? But you should consider this:if the hairs aren't the super-fine fuzzy kind,as the hairs grow back the short stubble might be felt by those who want to plant you a big kiss. I've heard waxing is better,but you'll have to see for yourself.Some don't like it. See how your skin reacts

Question 2

i shave my vagina area can i get in growing hairs on my vagina lips?

Accepted Answer

You should not: Be shaving the vaginal lips. If you elect to shave - shave upper pubic line and inner thighs - not the vulva !

Question 3

is it possible for hair on your upper lip to stop growing even though you've been shaving it for a long time?

Accepted Answer

Unwanted Hair: I grew up hearing that the more you shave the more you will have to shave.  It may not be the best solution to be shaving that unwanted hair.

Many young women learn how to wax for these skin and hair concerns.  If you or your parents want there is also laser hair removal processes that may help as well.

Question 4

i have some unwanted hair on my upper lip and i was wondering if i were to get it waxed if it would grow back in darker or more thick?

Accepted Answer

No: You can wax or shave or pluck or laser. None of these will change the type of hairs or the growth.

Question 5

is it safe to take out upper lip hair using tweezers? will it grow back thicker or darker in colour?

Accepted Answer

Yes and No: Yes it is safe to tweeze hair out, although it is painful. Hair will grow at a fixed rate whether it is plucked or not, so you won't alter the hair by tweezing it.

Question 6

after shaving, i noticed small open sores on vaginal area (mainly the outer lip).they are painful and have hair growing out the middle is it herpes?

Accepted Answer

Folliculitis : No it does not sound like it is herpes. What you are describing is a type of skin infection called folliculitis. It arises when the hair follicles become inflamed and infected after shaving.

Question 7

my 5' 4'' son is 15 and has some black hairs above his penis and shaves his upper lip per 3 weeks it dosent grow fast, what will follow next in puberty?

Accepted Answer

Gential maturation: Enlargement of testiscle and penis. Pubic becoming more widespread and extending to his lower abdomen. Growth in stature and weight. Deepening of his voice. Acne. Increase sexual interest, etc.....

Question 8

sir/mam i have a scar on my upper lip how can i grow hair on it?

Accepted Answer

Scar hairs: Scars normally do not grow hair as they lack normal skin surface with hair follicles. You should see a plastic surgeon who can possibly perform a skin transplant from a hairy part of your body. Good luck

Question 9

tiny bald patch above lip, mustache hair. from using trimmer? or something else? hair is not growing back

Accepted Answer

Alopecia Areata: This sounds like it might be alopecia areata, which commonly presents as roundish bald patches in the scalp or other areas. This may be an auto-allergy to your own hair follicles. I'd recommend you see your dermatologist for proper diagnosis and discussion of treatment options. If it is alopecia areata, cortisone creams or properly done cortisone injections can stimulate regrowth of the hair.

Question 10

i've recently shaved my pubic hairs and a couple of days later i've been experiencing a prickling poking sensation on my vulva especially on my clitoris and outer lips of my vagina. could it be from the hairs that are growing in?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Pubic hairs are curlier than most and tend to "turn around" when growing out of the skin to cause your pricking sensation.
