Laser hair removal

[–] will_steal_your_username@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 hours ago

That's both expensive and not available where I live :P It is the long term goal however.

[–] hedge_lord@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] NeuroQueerSpeed@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 22 hours ago

Actually you can! Gently with tweezers or if you like to feel like a thousend bees sting you at once, you can use an epilator.

Ouch

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

[–] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't. That simple.

[–] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

What do you mean, I don't really understand????

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

If one does not have facial hair, they do not use the 80's mustache. So, since my facial hair is, to say the least, lacking, I don't use th 80's mustache.

Where did I failed to follow your reasoning? I got that feeling.

[–] Digestive_Biscuit@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day 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 5 points 1 day ago (2 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.

am I the only one whos facial hair started growing extremely slow after starting hrt?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Mine slowed, then laser did wonders. Then I hit my late 20s and it started coming in again because biology is a dick sometimes

[–] will_steal_your_username@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

yes :'(

mine's going just as strong as before

[–] random@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

how long are you on hrt? it only started to grow slower like 3 months in

[–] will_steal_your_username@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 11 hours ago

1 year a few days ago ! the rest of my body hair has been impacted, but not the beard

[–] Kualdir@feddit.nl 58 points 2 days ago (4 children)

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

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 15 points 2 days ago

Oh damn hitting close to home today

[–] Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online 7 points 1 day ago (3 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.

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

Anyway, fuck facial hair.

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 1 day 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 1 day ago

Hahahah oh no! :') good luck

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.

And why does scalp hair not? 😭

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (11 children)

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.

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

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.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I got a nood flasher laser (light?) hair removal device for my wife a few months ago. It is safe to use on faces, but it does not work for all skin and hair colors.

[–] Zzyzx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 days ago

Check it out, this gal's posting noods!

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

A few laser sessions seem to have not made a difference to me sadly

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Damn I was considering it.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 21 hours ago

I think it just takes a lot more than a few. I also have light colored hair so it's less effective on me
