I am a 24 year old female with very thick and dark facial hair. I have been dealing with this for 7 years nows. I started using the hair removal creams and they got rid the hair only to make it come back darker and thicker. Then when I got to college I got tired of having everyone staring at me so I started shaving every morning and night. I am tired of having to do this. I don't have the money or the resources to the laser treaments. Is there anything else I can do to help this problem?

Don't even think about laser treatments.. Did you know that not only are they costly but hair can actually grow back? It doesn't get rid of hair it just reduces the amount of hair-- and sometimes it doesn't even do anything. It's a lot of money to throw away.

The method that does work 100 % of the time is waxing.

It hurts like a mother for a second-- but you are hair free for a few weeks.

Here are some ways you can get rid of it:

1) Ready wax strips- super easy, super fast, great for beginners.

Veet® Ready to Use Wax Strips for Face and Bikini

2) Hot wax- can get messy but you get the hang of it. In the end you'll spend less money doing it yourself instead of going to the salon or always having to buy the ready wax strips:

Satin Smooth Professional Single Wax Warmer (Deluxe Series) (FREE Shipping) Flat Iron Experts

Satin Smooth Wild Cherry Hard Wax with Vitamin E (14oz) FREE Shipping

Satin Smooth Small Muslin Epilating Strips FREE Shipping

:-) Good luck!

Waxing is good, but you have to wait for the hair to grow long enough. There is a cream called Vaniqua available by prescription but it is costly, about $100 but lasts a very long time. It slows the hair growth while using it and the hair grows in thinner. Only while using it though, if you stop the hair will grow back like it was before. This is the best thing that has worked for me
