how often do u bleach ur face??
i have to bleach my face every week or every ten days if i dun get the threading done on my sides..
is it safe bleaching face every 6-7 days??
n i have to leave it on for 30 mins atleast
^ No, you should bleach just once a month.. 2 max! 30 mins is a longtime to leave the bleach on..
^ I agree with everything Gina has said.
Also, whenever I bleach my facial hair, I never touch my sideburns. Because the rest of the facial hair is tiny so you can't really tell if they're bleached (in fact they kinda disappear i.e. the whole point of bleaching in the first place) but I feel if I bleach my sideburns, they would really stand out!
Besides, they get covered anyways when I put on the hijab.
So should I or shouldn't I bleach my sideburns?
Re: bleaching facial hair
Im guessing you have thick black hair? I wudnt bleach your hair if i was you. It wud jus cause it to go gingery and orangey. And probly stand out more. If they REALLY get to you i wud get them waxed. Probly once a month.
My skin is sooo sensitive i put bleach on my skin for 15 minutes (what it tells you) And it went red. I wudnt advice 30 minutes!! I leave mine on for 10 mins and do it like every 3-4 months........ But yea get it waxed..
Re: bleaching facial hair
nah i dont have thick black hair..they are tiny,thin irregular hair just below my eyes...i thread them weekly and they keep growing back...so wen i bleach and they are growing at the same time...the grown edges start showing again in 4-5 days..
Re: bleaching facial hair
i don't thread or wax any part of my face, i bleach, but it seems as if my facial hair is becoming almost tolerant to bleach. i feel my hair looks dark again just the week after. i don't bleach my face every week, i do it twice a month, but lately i've been wanting to bleach it every week. what are the side effects of bleach? would someone be able to tell me?
Re: bleaching facial hair
Gina can u name any gud bleach....
Re: bleaching facial hair
Hmm lost angel, are they really that noticable? Or do you do them because you think they are? The more you mess around with it the more its gonna grow. I say leave them for every 2 weeks so if you notice any difference then keep adding a day extra again. see if that helps? Bleaching is really bad for hair, so imagine what its doing to your skin? I really wudnt advice it. My face literally was burning after i did it. Jus be careful girls.

^gina, can you tell me the side effects?
Re: bleaching facial hair
i do mine every week and have been doing so for the past 8 years. hasn't affected my skin in any way. and i think those of you that know my opinions know i'm pretty anal about skincare products and what one should use.
i use boots hair lightener though. it's important to only use products used solely for hair lightening, nothing that will bleach the skin or has added steriods.
i'm with marwah too, totally against threading or waxing the face if you have fine, downy hairs. i've said it before many times but any root removal on the face nearly always leads to thicker and darker hairs and haphazard growth (as opposed to flat and all one direction).
Marwah it depends on the quality, don't be stingy on skincare products! It may cause rashes and breakouts.. sometimes even pigmented skin.
If u have fine/downy hair.. u don't need to wax/thread it, just bleach!

Re: bleaching facial hair
i have to bleach almost once a week always, did the mistake of threading chin area, so now i have to keep on .. the rest i bleach, leave on around 15 min. Dont want to do waxing or anything on my face except upper lip, cuz it will probably just get thicker and besides that, my hair growth is so fast. like its back after 2 days wherever i pluck/wax on face/body, so thats why bleaching is my best choise so far.. ![]()
lol.. it was in there. Boots Hair Lightener. I’ve never had any reaction (even tingling) not pigmentation. Neither has my sister or my cousin.
I tried Jolen for a while in the beginning but found this to be much better and for me at least, there are only two states - either the hair doesn’t get bleached or it goes properly blonde; no orange ever.
But different products work better for different people.
HNK- look into electrolysis for those chin hairs that you have to have threaded. If you’re only doing a small area, electrolysis works really quickly and not too expensive.
oh haha i don’t know how i missed that. i’ve been using jolen for the past few years but it doesn’t get every bit of my hair blonde, i think i’ll give boots a try.
