YOUR SITCH Facial Hair

SOLUTION This kit from No Mo-Stache

is made for the upper lip. It holds 12

wax strips, which self-heat when you

rub them between your fingers, and a

packet of hydrocortisone cream to

reduce redness and irritation.

YOUR SITCH Bad Brows

SOLUTION Microblading. It uses super-

fine needles dipped in pigment to cre-

ate natural hairline strokes (check out

expert Piret Aava’s Insta @Eyebrow

Doctor for proof) that last up to three

years. For a DIY makeover, try this

protein serum from Anastasia Beverly

Hills to encourage growth, then use

this crayon from L’Oréal Paris to fill in.

YOUR SITCH Dark Body Hair

SOLUTION The Lumenis LightSheer

Infinity laser hair reduction system.

A vacuumlike hand piece stretches

the skin to pull hair follicles closer

to a diode laser for maximum

efficiency, preventing future growth.

The best part? It’s safe for all skin

tones and can be less painful than

other devices, thanks to a cold tip

that numbs the skin momentarily.

YOUR SITCH Frizz

SOLUTION It sounds counterintuitive,

but your hair may be craving mois-

ture, which actually seals the hair

cuticle so humidity can’t sneak in

and swell strands. Swap your cur-

rent shampoo and conditioner for a

duo free of sulfates (they’re drying),

and add a vitamin-infused treat-

ment (like this leave-in spray from

John Frieda) for added hydration.

Our survey reveals a lot

about women’s relationship

with hair. Fifty-two percent

said they’re self-conscious

about it on their face,

42 percent said brows are

a stressor, and 40 percent

said frizz and body hair are

to blame for insecurities.
