inb4 ESL moment dgaf
>>43475005It hurts bad but it’s viable just watch tutorials on it before you decide to do so
>>43475034i tried a little bit on my cheeks and it hurt but not as badly as dysphoria does. just gotta wait a few days cause i shaved yesterday and the machine cant grip the hairs yet
>>43475050Yeah i feel you I just plucked out all my facial hair this weekend
>>43475099individually? how long did it take?
>>43475119A few hours i don’t really have a much since i only started getting facial hair like a year ago when i turned 19
>>43475005plucking will make electrolysis worse in the future if you decide to de that
Do IPL, epilator is such lastgen meta. This isn't 2016 anymore get with the times!!
>>43475227Also epilating may cause discoloration from constantly yanking at your face
>>43475143i figured youd have weak growth>>43475202i knew it might wake laser not work as well but why electrolysis?>>43475227like with a cheap ipl machine you buy to have at home?
>>43475311>like with a cheap ipl machine you buy to have at home?you can use it on face but its meant for body hair mostly so you wont have crazy results
Laser gets you 90% there, but some hairs are stubborn and won't go away. The epilator just works. It hurts, but whatever.
>>43475379Braun one fine for me on face.
>>43475227does IPL even work on ur facei thought it didnt
>>43475311plucking damages the entrance of the follicle so itll make electro take longer, be more painful, and theyll prob need to do galvanic vs thermo.>>43475503Best case is a slight temporary reduction, worst case the heat triggers even more hairs to grow thicker because ipl is far weaker than even diode(which is weaker than alex/yag)
>>43475656Idk I only need to do it monthly and it's fine
>>43475005do not do this I REPEAT DO NOT DO THIS>t. tried before
>>43475240that's what I thought, sigh, shaving until I get my balls chopped off.
>>43475379>>43475478>>43475656sigh, so, what, im gonna have to just keep suffering being a beard shadow hon until i get laser out of the way first before i start epilating it? fmstl. ive had like 4 sessions of laser but its not enough and i cant afford more atp>>43475874you have to explain your reasoning to convince anyone cause if its just the pain idgaf
i use the remington one that's pink and holds one double a battery. it works, like, fine, and it doesn't really hurt that bad
will epilating eventually make the hairs stop growing or is that a myth? ive been plucking my brows for 16 years and they still grow normally i think
every day i praise tranny jesus for making me naturally blonde. thank you tranny jesus
>>43476075me too, something in my life needs to go rightmakes things easier until I inevitably get it lasered off
>>43476075my hair is blonde but my facial hair is much darker for some reason. tho blonde facial hair becomes a problem when you try to laser it off
>>43476121double edged sword I guessthanks tranny jesus
>>43476121>my hair is blonde but my facial hair is much darker for some reason.wow, damn. worst of both worlds. i like having no shadow but always wished i had black or dark brown hair. but i barely have any facial hair, it grows slow as shit and its basically transparent. perks of a low T puberty i guess
im sorta thinking estrogen also makes laser harder? like it does lighten my body hair a lot. but also epilating makes it come back lighter and thinner and some people say laser is actually the same and they come back after 1-2 years? i just want to get rid of upper lip shadow i hate it
>>43476055>will epilating eventually make the hairs stop growing or is that a myth?Thats a myth. Best scenario is that the hair follicles become weaker, and so the regrowing hairs that come back are less noticeable. However, this isn't always the case, and sometimes the hair grows back thicker lol. Additionally when hair is growing, not all follicles are active. Hair grows in specific arrays of active follicles while others remain inactive until the next hair growing cycle. So the ones you don't get will eventually come out of rest and you will have to do them as well. All in all, body hair sucks. Laser treatment is the best method. Picrel is a good alternative, and is worth the investment.I believe it works by emitting light that puts the active hair follicles into sleep, so nothing grows.
>>43475005ah yeah i did that once and then my face was red for two weeks and i got scabs and had to wear a facemask. i stopped doing that to my upper lip after that and now i mostly pluck some of the darkest hairs and then shave the rest of it. i also got some laser and electrolysis but there's a bunch of stubborn hair that just won't stop growing
>>43476594thanks. i guess i should get an ipl machine instead of epilating. theyre just kinda expensive>>43476359i like my beautiful curly golden blonde hair tho. pic related
>>43475005i waxed my face (with good hot wax not strip cold wax) two weeks ago, and once again a week after, i barely have any mustache shadow now.i wouldn't recommend epilating unless it's peachfuzz/blond thin hair, shit is just gonna be a painful nightmare.waxing often (when it grows back but think and blond) makes it way more tolerable pain wise btw
I tried to do this. too painful imo
i tried epilation electrolysis laserin that orderi was a complete idiotstart with laserthen try other thingsand keep your levels consistent otherwise new hair can comealso cursed by brown/blonde facial hair with blonde hairs impossible to remove with laser
>>43475944pain, blood scarring potential and makes hair remval less successful in the futuretweezing is way better but bas for the last readon still
>>43475478Can gingers even get laser? I think my hair is just dark enough to cast a shadow but too light to be lasered
