1
Consider bleaching. Although this does not get rid of unwanted hair, it does lighten hair to a soft blond hue, rendering mustaches almost invisible. Some women also bleach the hair on their arms.
2
Try depilatories'cream-based products you apply on top of unwanted hair. Depilatories, popular for the bikini area, come with specific instructions for how long to leave the cream on. When you rinse away the depilatory, the unwanted hair should wash away with the cream. However, results vary widely.
3
Use that old standby'shaving. It's fast and easy, but the hair grows back quickly. Women should never shave a mustache, as it will grow back stubbly and not soft.
4
Consider plucking, which is effective for small patches of hair. Keep in mind that repeated tweezing of the same hairs over the years can damage the hair roots enough to result in permanent hair removal, so be careful when tweezing eyebrows'if styles change, you may not get your old brows back.
5
Evaluate waxing'especially popular for eyebrows and the bikini area. A mixture of hot oil, rosin and paraffin is spread over unwanted hair. Once the wax cools, it's ripped off, along with the unwanted hairs. Though this method can be uncomfortable, the advantage is that the hair doesn't return for several weeks.
6
Investigate sugaring, a technique devised by the ancient Egyptians that uses all-natural ingredients. A paste of sugar and water is applied over unwanted hair. When the sugar mix dries, it's yanked off, along with the hair. As with waxing, the advantage is that the hair doesn't return for several weeks; the discomfort is similar to that of pulling off a bandage with hair underneath.
7
Look into electrolysis, which involves removal of each hair with an electric current and a fine needle. You must continue electrolysis for several months or even years to remove all unwanted hair, and the process can be quite painful.
8
Investigate laser removal of unwanted hair. The light emitted from the laser vaporizes the pigment located in the hair follicles, destroying or disabling several hair follicles at a time. However, it may not result in permanent hair removalRead more: How to Get Rid of Unwanted Hair eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/how_13715_rid-unwanted-hair.html#ixzz1cVUG7Ovx

5 ways to style your hair

To get more volume out of a blow out: dry sections of your hair pulled out at 90 degree angle from the scalp or over directed in the opposite direction of how it falls. Drying your hair right at the scalp in this manner will give your hair a fuller effect. Use Lift at roots for even more volume.

Put finishing products on dry hair for full effect---damp hair dilutes the product.

Your roots are the foundation of your style. For volume, spritz Lift in damp hair and blow dry upside down

Experiment using products on wet or dry hair regardless of what instructions indicate. You may get a unique result that looks amazing.

To combat cowlicks in fringe or bangs, blow dry hair/bangs from left to right and then from right to left, back and forth until dry. Then place on side you want them to stay and hit with a cold shot from the dryer.

Waxing

I started waxing years ago when I lived in Pittsburgh. I was so afraid I would wax someones whole eyebrow off. Plus it looked like it hurt so bad when I did it. Then one day I went to a waxing class downtown. The guy was teaching us all about waxing and who you could not wax and who you could. Certain medicines that people take you can not wax them. He showed us if you put a little baby powder on your wrist and then rud a little where you are waxing the hair will pull off better. It works because it takes the oil off so the wax pulls easier. And you can apply it so much better getting all the hair at one time. I have never seen any one else use baby powder for waxing and when they tear the strip it looks like the skin is going to pull off. So next time you wax your eyebrows ask for a little baby powder and it will make it easier.

Beauty inside

Beauty where does real beauty come from I think from the inside. I have been doing hair for a long time but everyone that sits in my chair I can always find the inner beauty. I have noticed since I got older and I started selling Mary Kay not long ago women are looking for something that lifts. Eye lift lip lift, cheek lift, timeless, ageless and on and on. when I look in the mirror I go man I look like my mom. There are a few wrinkles but for the most part I have perserved well. But my inner beauty, my heart is so big and I love so deep. All of this is because I love the Lord so much. Beauty comes in all sizes, colors and ways. I just want to do the best I can everyday on everyone I work on. I pray on my way to work Lord let everything I do today be good and pleasing to You. When cleaning the face always rub up. When applying make up apply rubbing up. Use the best mositurzier, cleansing cream perserve everything so it will last. And in the morning when you get up apply Jesus and walk in His beauty.

Oily Hair

I forgot how bad my boys hair got in the summer. When they sweat and play outside boys or girls their hair gets oily and smells bad, just the facts mam. When my boys were young they would come in from playing and hte first thing I made them do is bathe and shampoo your hair. As they grew even the same problem until one day I found out that Apple Pectin concentrated fortifying shampoo was the miracle of ll miracles. Finally yea the oil was gone the smell was gone and my little boys could hug on me without me pushing them away. For years even their girlfriends would ask me how do I get the oil out of my hair and that was always my answer Apple Pectin shampoo. Here is the bottle they should ask me to be a spoke person for them.

This week at Bible study one of the girls came up and her mom pointed out to me the same problem and I told her about Apple Pectin shampoo. After all these years I wondered if they still made it. Why not? If it works keep it going. She looked everywhere with no avail. So I went to Sally's this afternoon and sure enough there was my Apple Pectin shampoo. It has been 28 years and as a hairstylist I am proud to say they have not changed one thing. With all the foo foo shampoo out there it is nothing but fragrance but if you or your child needs oil free hair Apple Pectin is the answer.
