Don't shave!It will grow back longer and you might cut yourself!I would suggest you get a laser done or use wax strips.

Get it threaded. waxing makes the skin sag over time.

Your hair won't grow back thicker that's just a myth. You have the option the ladies gave you above: bleach, thread, wax, shave, or what you did pluck.

Use a hair removal cream! I recommend the hair spa clay for face. they're easy, painless, quick, and leave your skin smooth. plus it won't grow back for over a week.

It's okay to shave, it growing back thicker and longer is just a really old myth.
They do have hair removal creams, although I highly do not recommend them. They burn through the first layer of your skin ( which is an open bacteria breeding ground. ) I have suffered I don't know how many burns from them, and did end up with an infection regardless of how 'sensitive' the formula was.
You can try waxing or threading, I'd go for threading/plucking them altogether.

Do whatever you're comfortable doing. I've shaved mine since like 7th grade. I don't have any issues with it. shave every few days. sometimes pluck a few because I don't have the patience to do it all lol. & like kitty said, it doesn't grow back thicker or longer.

My sister had the same problem as you but if your young don't thread its painful and I really believe if your young the pain isnt worth it I don't suggest bleaching it either because I mean your not really getting rid of I do reccomend hair removal creams they react different for everyone doesn't mean you will have a bad reaction my favorite hair removal cream is nair it may smell horrible but it doesn't burn sting or hurt and it gets rid of all the hair and if you don't feel like using a cream wax and I would lastly suggest to shave hope I could help :D

My dermatologist actually told me to shave if I'm ever rushing and need a quick fix. It won't hurt you at all and the hair doesn't grow back thicker. The only sad thing is the hair grows back pretty fast so I personally like waxing more but shaving is a quick fix.

I shave and it don't grow thicker. Whatever if they grow back just shave again.

First of all, your hair will NOT grow back thicker/longer/anything else you think it might do. That's an old beauty myth that's been debunked numerous times. Personally, I find shaving to be much easier to do; I shave every couple of weeks or so and it does the trick just fine. I like it much better than waxing because: it's painless, I can apply my face makeup right afterwards whereas with waxing I have to wait a day for the redness/sensitivity to go down, it's quick to do, it's easy to do, and it produces the same effect (affect? I'm terrible at remembering the whole affect vs. effect thing) as waxing does. It's really a personal preference thing - I've known plenty who prefer waxing for whatever reason.
