The mention of covid is more about a time frame as it happened world wide at about the same time like if I referenced 911 we all know when that happened.
Where I go to get waxed is closed like lots of other shops the have been forced to shutdown because of covid. I'm not waxing myself, so I just let it all grow plus I think shaving is kinda rubbish compared to waxing.
As the OP is asking for peoples opinions, my opinion is for the last 6 months is liking the natural look with no hair where the lips are.
As its my opinions and yes it will change, who knows what I will like next month
