Causes of antennae in girls, effective ways to get rid of at home and the results of using various methods. Mustache in girls is a common problem, and they can be different - from a couple of hairs to dense and dark vegetation above the lip. Such "decoration", of course, does not please its owners. We will tell you why antennae appear on the face and how to deal with it.
The main causes of antennae in girls
Excessive hair growth above the upper lip in women (hirsutism) is most often caused by increased production of male sex hormones (hyperandrogenism). This condition requires a detailed examination of the patient by a gynecologist-endocrinologist.
The reasons can be different:
- Serious health problems … This is a violation of the function of the ovaries or adrenal glands, benign formations. With the progression of hirsutism, other unpleasant signs may appear: increased skin greasiness, coarsening of the voice, menstrual irregularities. The help of specialists is already needed here.
- Side effects of medications. Such drugs include some progestins, anabolic steroids, androgens, interferons.
- Genetic conditioning inherent in perfectly healthy women … In general, the presence of a certain amount of extra hairs on the face or on the body in girls is typical for natural burning brunettes and is not considered a disease, but rather a congenital, genetic feature. In this case, there is no danger to health, but antennae do not add psychological comfort, and, of course, it is best to get rid of them.
How to remove mustache from girls
There are several methods of getting rid of hair on a woman's face, in particular from antennae. They can be divided into two categories: salon and home. Many girls prefer to remove antennae at home, because it is both easier and, to be sure, significantly cheaper.
Removal of antennae from girls in the clinic
The salon methods that exist today are quite well known: electrolysis, laser and chemical hair removal, as well as the use of wax or shugaring (some of them are easy to carry out at home). Consider the methods of getting rid of antennae, which can only be carried out in a clinic or beauty salon:
- Electrolysis … With this method, the hair follicles are treated with a weak current discharge, which contributes to their destruction. Thus, no resumption of growth occurs. The method is quite painful, but effective.
- Laser hair removal … It is the effect of a laser beam on the hair roots. This method is less painful but more costly.
- Photoepilation … In this case, a flash lamp is used, which delivers streams of light to the hair follicles, also destroying them. This method works best for light-colored hairs. Photoepilation has contraindications and requires consultation with a doctor.
How to get rid of a girl's mustache with folk remedies
Next, we will focus on the use of funds that are classified as home remedies. Among the exclusively home methods, folk ones stand out:
- Dope seeds … They are good at helping to remove the antennae from girls. The ground seeds are mixed with vodka, then infused for three weeks. The problem areas are lubricated with the ready-made solution. Result: hair loss, which then does not grow for a long time. You can also make a decoction from dope. 150 grams of the plant is mixed with 1 liter of water, boiled for 15 minutes. The resulting broth is cooled and stored in a cool place, preferably in the refrigerator. Problem areas are processed no more than once a day. It should be remembered that Datura is a poisonous plant and should not be abused.
- Decoction of walnuts … Take the crushed shell (about two tablespoons) and cook over low heat for about 20 minutes. The resulting product can be used for compresses or wipe the problem area above the upper lip with it daily.
- Lemon juice … The point here is that before going to the beach (or just in the bright sun), wipe the problem area with juice. After a while, the hairs will fade and will be almost invisible.
- Nettle decoction … You will need 50 grams of nettle seeds. They are filled with sunflower oil (100 g) and infused for two months (8 weeks) in a dark place. Then you can handle the problem area.
How to remove a girl's mustache at home with a thread
This original method, which once came from eastern countries, has been known for a long time and still remains relevant and one of the most effective, despite its simplicity. The effect lasts 3-4 weeks. To get rid of unwanted tendrils, you only need a regular cotton or silk thread. We'll have to endure a little, because this method involves pulling out. But it is much more convenient than plucking with tweezers, since with the help of a thread you can capture not one, but several hairs at once. In addition, the appearance of pimples, irritations or ingrown hairs after using the thread is minimal.
How to properly use a thread for depilation:
- Soften the skin with a cream. Some experts recommend wiping the place of future depilation with a piece of ice to reduce sensitivity and to avoid unpleasant sensations.
- Wipe the skin dry, sprinkle with talcum powder so that the hairs do not stick.
- We take a thread, tie its ends to get a loop, which is then thrown over the fingers (the thumbs are not touched yet).
- We make a figure eight, twisting the loop at least 5 times (a little more, up to 7-8 times). We now have two loops: a large and a small one.
- We throw them over the thumbs and forefingers.
- We apply the thread directly to the skin. The twisted flagellum is located directly under the hairs, and the large loop is above them.
- We spread our fingers with a small loop in one sharp movement. We get the following: the twisted middle moves towards the large loop, the rings of our thread seem to change in size, and the loops grab and pull out the hairs.
This technique is actually quite simple, you just need to practice a little. Waste of time is minimal, but financially, you must agree, buying a spool or even a set of threads will cost significantly less than going to a beauty salon.
How to remove a girl's mustache with wax
Removing the mustache with wax (wax depilation) is quite effective, but somewhat painful. It is better to repeat this method every two weeks. It is carried out with the help of wax strips, which can be bought in cosmetic stores, pharmacies for a fairly low price. The method has practically no contraindications.
We bring to your attention instructions for removing antennae using wax:
- We clean the face with a scrub. After that, we wipe the skin with lotion. This will help clean and degrease it.
- Apply wax to the face with a special applicator (there are different types of strips on sale, both for use with cold wax and with warm wax). Cover the waxed areas with strips of fabric. We maintain the allotted time.
- With a sharp movement, tear off the strips against hair growth.
- We moisturize the skin with cream, lotion or oil.
Removing the antennae from a girl using shugaring
Such a method of removing antennae is widely known as shugaring (sugar depilation). It is done without any problems both in the salon and at home. In this case, a special sugar paste is used. It is easy to purchase it or make it yourself from sugar, lemon juice and water.
According to one of the recipes, you will need the following ingredients: sugar (in the amount of 10 tablespoons), juice of half a lemon and water (1 tablespoon). It is necessary to mix everything in an enamel bowl. Heat over low heat until a brown homogeneous mass is obtained. You can use a slightly warm (not hot!) Mixture. When shugaring, not only long, but also short hairs are removed. The effect lasts for 4 weeks on average, and after each procedure the hairs become thinner and thinner each time. Sugaring does not cause allergies, has no contraindications, the skin is exfoliated and nourished.
The procedure itself proceeds as follows: degrease the skin with lotion and sprinkle with talcum powder, apply the paste on the skin with a thin layer, and put a cloth strip on top. The fabric should be fixed. Then, with a sharp movement, tear off the fabric along the hair growth.
When shugaring, the paste is always applied against the growth of hairs, but it is removed according to the growth. This nuance allows you to avoid the appearance of ingrown hairs.
Removal of female antennae with depilatory cream
You can also remove antennae with a depilatory cream (chemical depilation). This method is very simple. Its meaning is the chemical dissolution of hair follicles. It is necessary to choose a cream designed specifically for the face. Hair in the bikini area, on the legs and on the face is very different in terms of rigidity, so you should not use products intended for depilation on the legs to remove antennae.
Instructions for using the cream to remove antennae in girls:
- Before applying the cream or gel, we carry out an allergic reaction test: apply a little of the product on the wrist and wait a little. In the absence of redness and burning, this cosmetic product can be used.
- Degrease the skin with lotion.
- Using a spatula, gently apply the cream to the area from which it is necessary to remove hairs, avoiding contact with the lips.
- After the time indicated in the instructions, the cream is removed with the same applicator against hair growth, and the skin is thoroughly washed with warm water without soap.
After depilation, for about a day, you cannot apply any cosmetics, even nourishing creams, to the depilated area. It is also best not to expose your skin to direct sunlight. The result after such depilation will last one to two weeks, depending on your individual characteristics.
How to get rid of a girl's antennae with tweezers
If the girl is worried about only a couple of hairs above the upper lip, it is not so difficult to eliminate them - it is enough to arm yourself with a mirror and tweezers and just pluck them one by one. This is best done when the skin is steamed, such as after taking a bath or shower.
The procedure is as follows: you need to slightly stretch the skin and pull the hair in the direction of growth, then wipe the skin with a disinfectant, such as peroxide, and then lubricate with an emollient cream.
The plucking procedure is quite painful, and irritation may appear after it. Disinfection and lubrication with cream will help to avoid this.
Some girls find that after plucking, the hairs begin to grow stronger and become thicker. Sometimes this is true, but if you regularly use plucking, it will still give the desired effect, and you will get rid of the antennae.
How to remove a mustache from girls with a razor
You can also get rid of the antennae using, for example, an ordinary razor. We take a machine, a special foam and carefully shave off the hairs. This will help for a short time, but soon enough the vegetation will return, and everything will have to be repeated again.
Of course, not every day, like men, but still quite often, especially for dark-haired girls, who, as we indicated above, are most prone to the appearance of excess facial hair. In addition, after shaving, the antennae can grow more intensively. This method, therefore, cannot be attributed to the best and most effective.
How to lighten a girl's antennae with peroxide
Hydrogen peroxide destroys the hair's chitinous cover. As a result, the dark pigment is destroyed. If you use peroxide bleaching regularly, the hairs will become lighter and thinner, and their growth will slow down. Before using any of the methods below, you must test for an allergic reaction. To do this, put a drop of peroxide on your wrist and wait at least 15 minutes. If a rash or redness does not appear on the skin, you can proceed to discoloration of the antennae.
Peroxide bleaching can be done in different ways:
- Moisten a cotton pad with peroxide and apply to the problem area. Hold for one and a half to two minutes. If the hair is very dark and thick, you can repeat the procedure.
- Mix one teaspoon of peroxide (the solution should be 6%) with five drops of ammonia and one drop of liquid soap. Wipe the antennae with this compound using a cotton swab. After 15 minutes, you need to wash off the peroxide with water with the addition of one or more drops of lemon juice. Then you should lubricate the skin with baby or any other emollient cream.
A similar procedure can be performed every day (up to three times) until the antennae are destroyed.
