  • I don't think there is a way to suggest it without hurting her feelings so... Christmas is comming up. Buy her a gift certificate at a day spa (mani/pedi, massage etc...) ask the girl doing her treatments to suggest a lip waxing or bleaching. She gets rid of the hair w/o the shame of having to shave her face and you don't have to worry about being the bad guy. Chances are she's aware of the hair and after it's gone the first time she'll feel good about it and hopefully continue doing it at home.
  • Don't convince her to shave it, because that will actually cause it to look thicker when it grows back. She should bleach, wax, or pluck it (or get electrolysis if she has the $$$). I agree with Ericcc that there's not really a good way to say it, and Ericcc's suggestion is actually quite good. If you have to tell her (or have told her already), let her know that you love her either way, with or without the fuzz, but that you think that she would look even hotter since it distracts you from her gorgeous lips. Tell her that you've heard about such and such product to remove hair and ask her if she'd be interested in trying it if you bought it for her.
  • Don't shave, wax it, electrolysize it, or just leave it alone. Facial feminine hair on the upper lip has been around for ages. You can actually see some drawings and paintings of women with faint facial hair and a few with beards. This is not uncommon. It is when people begin to idealize what is beautiful, attractive, or pretty, that they fail to recognize that human beings have these characteristics.
  • Offer to let her shave you if you can shave her.
  • Let her know you like her the way she is. Suggest shaving as a sensual, reciprocal game. Say one let the other shave what he want in one's body. You also may end with hairless feet or arms. The seriousity of the subject may be distempered on the joke, and she may like when you, finally, decide to lather up her face and gently pass the razor along her lovely upper lip. Don't worry shaving has no permanent effect on hairs. Anto
  • Tell her the truth! If she shaves it will grow back coarser and darker. If that doesn't convince her to do it nothing will!
  • Enjoy her as she is. She's going to end up with coarse male-type growth anyway, eventually -- it's just that it takes those females who grow a moustache longer to get to that stage than it does males. There'll come a point where she'll decide herself to shave it, anyway. The best thing you can do for her is to encourage her not to try the other methods of hair removal, all of which have major problems.
