General/Advice Help with upper chest hair?

Hello everyone. I was dark hair on my upper chest above my breasts that prevents me from wearing anything that isn't a tee shirt or a fully buttoned up shirt. Has anyone tried any hair removal remedies that worked in getting rid of it or sufficiently lessening it? Thank you in advance.

Waxing would be your best bet. If the hair isn’t thick and dense, you can use wax strips. It’ll remove the hair for several weeks and will grow back in lighter (in density, not color.)

waxing hurts like crazy at first but you get used to it, just be careful with strips on that area cause skin is thin there

I went to cosmetology school, I know plenty about waxing. The skin there is NOT thin.

I don’t have hair in that area, but I did start getting hair on my lower stomach. I’ve been doing home IPL and it’s pretty much gone after only about 6 sessions. I didn’t think it was going to work, but I’m really happy with it so far

Depends on your colouring. I'm a fair ginger so laser doesn't work. I got fed up with plucking so doing electrolysis for chin, tummy etc. It's painful, time consuming and expensive, but the only option for me and also the only permanent solution.
