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 6 days 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

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

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days 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 6 days ago (1 children)

yes :'(

mine's going just as strong as before

[–] random@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days 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 6 days ago

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

[–] fleurc@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Laser hair removal

[–] will_steal_your_username@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] fleurc@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

There's also creams that remove hair, but it isn't available here so I cannot attest to efficacy.

[–] fleurc@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

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 1 week ago

Oh damn hitting close to home today

[–] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago (5 children)

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

Anyway, fuck facial hair.

Now this is relatable

[–] Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online 8 points 1 week 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.

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

And why does scalp hair not? 😭

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

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.

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.

Check it out, this gal's posting noods!

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

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Damn I was considering it.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 days 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

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm not sure if you're actually asking, or expressing the emotions involved in meme form, and I don't want to possibly make those emotions worse by bringing up the physiology of it without asking first. But, I do know a little about that specific subject, so I'm willing to type that out, if you're interested.

[–] will_steal_your_username@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not what I'm asking, but share your knowledge friend! perhaps behind a spoiler as another catgirl suggested
