I’m not trans but I can relate with this. I would live very happy without facial hair.
Are you sure? I mean typically dysphoria caused by facial hair is a sign. It absolutely was for me.
I just hate shaving.
I hate shaving too, as well as having a scratchy face with beard shadow 😔
I can relate with that.
In my country, there’s a good humoured way to describe the “beard” I have: half a dozen hairs, playing cards, and they still haven’t found the table. Spotty, thin, uneven, that just passes a sense of being unclean when it starts to grow. And the itching sensation… At least I don’t get that greenish tint on my skin when the hairs are close shaven. Those guys are really unlucky.
Its simple. Have an expert stick a probe into each follicle and zap it painfully with electricity. All it takes is a shit load of money, time, and pain!
My wife has been having this done and it has been successful so far. About 2 months in. Once a week. Noticeable difference especially with darker hairs around mouth.
It certainly works but it suuuucks. I wish my hair/skin contrast was such that laser would work.
Guessing that laser works better when the contrast is not so different?
You need light skin (optional but helpful) and dark hair (necessary) for laser to work properly since the laser heats up the pigment
I will say if they’re skilled you shouldn’t feel the insertions, they will tune the settings to your pain threshold, I often doze off while getting mine 😅
The insertions don’t hurt, yeah :) I certainly can’t doze off, its quite painful even with tattoo numbing cream. It has to be some minimum threshold to actually be effective so I just have to bear it.
I’m not trans but I hate this as well 😭 my beard grows uneven so I can’t even leave it on if I wanted to
Meanwhile my hairline loses land faster than the netherlands would if they didn’t build dams
I’m lucky I don’t have the hair thinning problem. The beard sucks though, I always hated having a beard. It’s one of the first signs looking back that I wasn’t anywhere near as cis as I thought I was.
Laser hair removal
That’s both expensive and not available where I live :P It is the long term goal however.
My older brother told the excited me that was beginning to grow facial hair that it’s a curse cause you keep shaving and the next day it’s back. I basically agree now.
Some races are really cursed like persians, middleeasterns, indians, and some serbians. It’s crazy monkey shit. extensive hair growing in the middle of your neck every fucking day. Your knuckles and arms look like that of a wolf. I swear one day you’d slit your throat with the razor you’re shaving with because this shit wont stop. Or how about in the middle of your upper back, physically unreachable area of your body. And wtf is the pointing of that hair while I’m balding I need it on top of my head.
That’s a pretty terrible thing to say.
Now my beard is going bald too, and I’m like “finally, useful baldness”. Good riddance.
That’s about the time when the ear and nose hair suddely start to grow like crazy.
Perhaps some people never actually lose their hair - rather, their hair just keeps migrating across their bodies. Roaming from land to foreign land, traveling into new territory with every season of life.
