Rip and tear. Rip and tear until it is done.

(I wouldn't recommend this but I can't stop doing it)

I'm not trans but I can relate with this. I would live very happy without facial hair.

[–] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

How do you wear your 80s style moustache without facial hair?

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 hours ago

I don't. That simple.

[–] Digestive_Biscuit@feddit.uk 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Same here. And it's not just for to shaving. Why do I have hair on my shoulders, back, etc. I'd be happy if every single person was bald. Nobody can complain then, no judgement on hair choice, colour, etc. knowing us humans though, we would fine ways to make our skulls look different.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Tattoos or scarification comes to mind. Weird piercings. Or funny hats.

I made up my mind very early that if/when I get bald, I'll just shave my head. Makes no sense to me to hold on to half dozen hairs on my head. But I wouldn't like to see everyone bald. I like seeing how people use their hair to express themselves. When I see someone with their hair dyed a wild color my only concern is how bad it may be for the hair and if I'm crossing that narrow line between looking and staring. But the look? Really not my concern. Makes the world a more interesting place to exist.

i made up my mind as a teen that if i started going bald im rocking the costanza look like my grandpa did

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 12 hours ago

Ah, a classic!

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

[–] Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Kualdir@feddit.nl 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

For me, if my beard just grew alright I'd keep it but it grows so uneven that its basically just impossible ;-;

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

It’s partially the itchiness, but also allergy season that keeps me from having a beard. Too hard to blow your nose with one unless you want to look like Abe Lincoln.

Edit: trout? Wtf autocorrect

[–] Kualdir@feddit.nl 1 points 2 hours ago

Totally understandable! The faster growing / thicker part of my beard also tends to be a bit itchy if I let it grow for too long (sometimes I have hope it'll finally look good ok) but not that bad that I would shave it because of that so for me its luckily not that huge of an issue.

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 14 points 23 hours ago

Oh damn hitting close to home today

[–] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 7 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

Dikes, not dams :) Though I guess we also have dams?

Anyway, fuck facial hair.

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.

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

I hate it too, facial hair sucks. I wish I could just get rid of it. Sadly it might be a while before I can get electrolysis.

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!

[–] applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Or you can spend $1200 on a home unit and spend a shit load of time and pain both learning a new skill and destroying your facial hair in the comfort of your own home! You won't get discouraged by the magnitude of the project at all...

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 1 points 5 hours ago

Hahahah oh no! :') good luck

[–] xamirozar@lemm.ee 5 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

It certainly works but it suuuucks. I wish my hair/skin contrast was such that laser would work.

[–] xamirozar@lemm.ee 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Guessing that laser works better when the contrast is not so different?

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 2 points 5 hours ago

You need light skin (optional but helpful) and dark hair (necessary) for laser to work properly since the laser heats up the pigment

Now my beard is going bald too, and I'm like "finally, useful baldness". Good riddance.

[–] UpperBroccoli@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

That's about the time when the ear and nose hair suddely start to grow like crazy.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

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.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

And why does scalp hair not? 😭

Started using a facial hair removal cream, and holy shit what a difference it has made. My face is so much smoother now, and it stays smoother for way longer! Highly recommend for any femboys or transfems looking for a good facial hair solution.

Edit:

For everyone asking, I use this! Not sponsored, I do not claim this is safe, but it's worked well for me the last few times I've used it and I haven't noticed any longterm issues. I apply it on heavy and let it sit for a little over 4 min, then I can just wipe away all the beard hair.

[–] Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

This is awesome, I will try this out. I always hated how shaving made my face scratchy and very close shaves often gave me cuts. This seems almost too good to be true, I guess I'll know if it is or not when I get it.

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

ngl, it feels like a potion I've obtained from a witch or something. It's so weird to just kinda...rub the hair off your face. I'm certainly under their spell, idk what could make me go back to razors for my face ever again.

[–] nicky7@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 51 minutes ago

Hilariously ineffective for my very coarse hair. 🤣 Don't get me wrong, I really do appreciate the tip, and I'm happy it works for you. 💕 I do plan on giving it another go, but there was no noticeable impact on my facial hair after using it the first time.

I tried on about 1mm stubble. It felt like a cooling agent on my skin. I waited near 7 minutes (the max according to instructions), and while I could see bits of hair on the towel after wiping, there was no noticeable result on my face.
