I have a problem. I grow hair quite quickly, my eyebrows, eyelashes, arm hair, and my hair is super thick and black. When it comes time to thread or wax my upper lip it grows back so quick! A couple days after I thread or wax there's an obvious shadow. Any ideas on what methods can alter the growth of the hair there? I'm sick of having a 'stache so quick and I don't want to waste money by threading and waxing every week! Please help!!

I have a similar problem. what I use is creme bleach. its cheap and easy to use and you can find it at most drugstores. I use it on my arms and upper lip. it may look a little strange if you have dark skin though. even though all of the hair will still be there it will be much less noticeable. another thing to look into is laser hair removal but that can be a little pricey. hope I helped! if you have any questions about it please ask.

I would invest in the Remington I-light machine. It's an at home IPL (Similar to laser hair removal) machine.
I think I bought the older version for like $100 but it definitely works.
I had the SAME problem as you.
My leg hairs would feel stubbly a few hours after shaving and when I waxed it only lasted a few days.

This machine uses a light that targets the pigment of the hair sending a wave to the root and helps your hairs grow slower and thinner or even not at all in some parts.

You have to shave before using it though. I would personally use it every time I would shave. About 2x a week (if I shave more times a week my skin would get irritated and ingrown hairs)
Their instructions state to use it once and again after a few months but I didn't have the time and my hair grows faster than what they went by in order to come up with that specified time.
After about two treatments I could definitely notice a reduction of hair on my legs. It looked patchy due to me not going over the legs completely but after a few more treatments I only have to shave like once a month and use the machine after because the hairs are usually due to parts I missed
