I’ve heard of things like Nair that make it fall out… if that was a one-and-done solution I’d be all for it, but I’m hoping for something that slows or stops it from growing.
I go clean shaven, but I get the ‘5 o-clock’ shadow the second I put the razor down, and look homeless if I skip a day or two.
Tried growing a beard - looked alright, but the amount of product and effort I shoved into that thing was ridiculous. And it was maddeningly itchy the entire time (lasted about a year putting up with it).
I’ve spent the last couple years with the conclusion that hair is just annoying, and I want it gone with as little effort and expense as possible.
Kinda partial to keeping the eyebrows and lashes cuz they keep shit out of my eyes, but honestly if losing them is the cost of getting rid of the rest of it, I’d call that a fair trade.
Some initial searching shows there is a market for hair growth suppressants, but chewbaccoids like myself might not be among the target audience lol.
Anyone got a recommendation or cautionary tale?
If you’re really sure about getting rid of your beard, laser hair removal will do the trick. It takes many sessions, but as long as your hair isn’t blonde or lighter it’ll get rid of it. Electrolysis can take care of any white hairs you have. Once you’re finished you’ll never have to think about shaving again
Why can’t it do blond hairs 😢
Light colored hair reflects the light, while dark hair absorbs it and converts it to heat, which essentially causes it to burn off.
(Not an expert on laser hair removal, but pretty sure thats how it works)
Newer laser can work on lighter hair, still less effective but possible nowadays.
Laser hair removal, unlike electrolysis, isn’t permanent and needs to be repeated about every seven years.
