If mine were to ever start coming in more even, I may try to let it grow out a bit. But for now, I keep it short because it's not pretty. :icon_redf
I've yet to grow significant facial hair, so I'd look awful if I didn't bother shaving the small, scattered patches of hair that I do have. One day.. likely a year or year and a half from now.
And I don't like smooth skin I almost always have a little stubble like 3/4 days non shave. It looks much better on me than smooth skin, which makes me look like a 15-year old. If there is one thing I can grow/style it's facial hair lol
I have a mustache and goatee. It's trimmed fairly short. When I was bisexual I had a full beard which had grown out about three inches. The barber cut of two-thirds of it and I feel much better...and gayer.
I grew some facial hair on my chin for a month or so, and trimmed everything else. I didn't really care for it. I like the clean shaven look, and it looks better on me anyway.
Heh... no matter how much I try, I can only grow this crappy pre-pubescent, almost female looking "facial hair". All I want is some bushy mutton chops. It's that too much asking?
My facial hair grows really fast and just makes me look like a bum if I don't shave it daily. For a couple years I had a soul patch until I realized it looked stupid.
I can get a nice ###### on if I don't shave. I don't like it though because it isn't full, it's thin but good coverage. Scruffy, but no nice groomed features like a beard or anything. I shave every day or every other day. Plus, with my DE razor I can get such a smooth shave, my 5 oclock shadow doesn't come in till the next day.
Last november i was insanely busy (and had no razors left) and was pleasantly surprised when a classmate gave me a pamphlet of beard styles in reference to no-shave november. I took full advantage of this opportunity. Now, it made me look like a hobo, so i won't be doing that this year, since i'm in a relationship.
I've never seen a beard I didn't like, so I let mine grow. If nothing else, it gives me a beard I can run my fingers through until I have a bearded man to call my own.
I started shaving at 17 when it started growing and I haven't stopped shaving since. However, when I'm not feeling good and I'm doing nothing but staying home, I let it go for a few days sometimes. I never really like it.
Actually, that's what I'm going to do, but for my entire body, not just my face. You're right that it isn't as expensive as other cosmetic surgeries, and you pay for it by treatment, so yeah it's very affordable.
That's really neat, and it will probably be so awesome not having to worry about hair in the long run.
Yep. I won't have to worry about having to waste money on nair, razors, and shaving cream anymore. I'm blessed to have a supportive mother.
Interesting. How long does it stay gone when you laser it off? Surely it'll grow back at one point... or is it permanent? I don't know much about this so I thought I'd ask.
I haven't gotten the procedure done yet, so I don't know. Although I have read in some cases the process isn't permanent, you can expect the hair to be gone for years. I dont expect it to permanently stop hair growth, just to slow it down by a great degree. But I don't know if the people who bemoan that it isn't permanent go to a reputable physician or not. The specialist who I'll see won't be one who operates from a spa with fishy credentials. Like anything else, the quality is tantamount to what you pay. A person operating from some place like a spa would do a shoddy job in contrast to the laser surgeon with better qualifications.
Throughout my youth I had light-brown coloured hair. When I tried growing a beard in my thirties it came out a weird shade of blonde/red! Had that as a goatee for a while, until it all started going grey...
Found this on wikipedia: "Electrolysis is another hair removal method that has been used for over 135 years.[7] At this time, it is the only permanent option for removal of very fine and light-colored hair. The FDA currently allows the term "permanent hair removal" for electrolysis only. Unlike laser epilation, electrolysis can be used to remove 100% of the hair from an area and is effective on hair of all colors, if used at an adequate power level with proper technique. Hair may re-grow however, based upon specific hormone levels or changes therein, and one's genetic predisposition to grow new hair. A study conducted in 2000 at the ASVAK Laser Center in Ankara, Turkey comparing alexandrite laser and electrolysis for hair removal on 12 patients concluded that laser hair removal was 60 times faster, less painful and more reliable than electrolysis.[8] Intense pulsed light (IPL) epilators, though technically not containing a laser, use xenon flash lamps that emit full spectrum light. IPL-based methods, sometimes called "AFT", "phototricholysis" or "photoepilation", are now commonly (but incorrectly) referred to as "laser hair removal"."
