Answer
Hey Lisa! Nipple hair is a totally normal thing. Some women have a lot, some only a few hairs, while others don't have any at all. Since you said you don't have much, your best bet would probably just be to pluck the hairs. But if you have too many to simply pluck, waxing or sugaring is another option. Waxing is always best done by a professional because they do it more effectively and less painfully. Not only that, but the hairs stay gone longer when they are waxed rather than plucked; although, plucking is the simplest and least painful of all your options. You can buy sugaring kits such as Nad's. They work in the same fashion as waxing except it is less painful and easier to use because there is nothing to heat and no risk of burning your skin. Of course, you also have the option of shaving the hairs but I would not recommend that because it is a sensitive area and stubble would be highly unattractive! I hope I helped and good luck!
