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

And why does scalp hair not? 😭
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!

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

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
Dikes, not dams :) Though I guess we also have dams?
Anyway, fuck facial hair.
I’ve only lived here for a few months still learning, thanks for the correction I’m learning!
Oh wow, I didn’t know that. Welcome!
How are you finding it so far?
I hope you’ll have a good time living here :)Moved from just over the border (Belgium) so not a huuuuge change in life but liking it here! Actually signing tomorrow to buy an appartement so here to stay :p
The only thing I got a heart attack about was my health insurance costs being about 14x higher than Belgium but more net salary made up for it xD
That’s not much of a culture shock, that’s for sure :) Still, I hope you’ll enjoy your new home.
And yes, health insurance isn’t cheap. I mean it isn’t US levels, but I wouldn’t mind if it was a bit cheaper :)
Its mostly the little language differences (je/jij instead of ge/gij is my most painful one) but that’s minimal haha
Thanks! We’ll see how it goes in the long run I guess, no plans on returning anytime soon tho
Yeahh, a high monthly cost + a deductible is quite insane
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.
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.
How do you wear your 80s style moustache without facial hair?
I don’t. That simple.
What do you mean, I don’t really understand???
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.
But you don’t have facial hair because you don’t use the 80s moustache?
I don’t have enough hair on my face to qualify for a moustache. Even if I let it grow for a month, I look like a balding rat.
Well did you ask yourself once what you can do for moustaches?
Laser hair removal
That’s both expensive and not available where I live :P It is the long term goal however.
There’s also creams that remove hair, but it isn’t available here so I cannot attest to efficacy.
Sorry, didn’t know considering there was no context whatsoever.
For a good shave I recommend baby oil, shaving cream and a good deodorant which you can use to both smell nice and kill bacteria after a shave. Be sure to pull skill back to expose further the hairs for a cleaner shave (It can easily cause a cut however, so be extremely careful).
I’m not pre-everything, but I’m not exactly rich either, but my long term goal is the same as yours, and unfortunately Laser Hair Removal is the only way for it to not grow back.
The meme was only tangentially relevant. I’m one year on HRT as of a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks for the advice <3 I have a safety razor, I use a special oil and cream, and I pull back skin to get a cleaner shave, but unfortunately if I want a clean shave it always results in tons and tons of blood. Some from cuts, some from razor bumps being sliced off. I can get about one good shave without blood and then if I shave within a week of that I’ll be mostly red from blood :(
I have a good cream that’s supposed to help with razor burns and such. Perhaps the products I use aren’t right for me.
Edit: Oh yeah I maybe already mentioned the hrt thing.
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.
