even when i shave the roots are dark enough to be visible through my skin so you can see where I would have hair (´-﹏-`；)
Not very knowledgeable on all this, but, the best method is to one day get laser.
That’s probably not within your reach if you’re asking so, let me say, from my experience with really visible, high contrast and dense body hair, any method of uprooting (plucking or waxing), both gives a pretty good result of hairlessness if you get all of them, and, after 2-3 cycles of growing and uprooting again, that hair is permanently 10-15% less visible (primarily thinner, also straighter). If you know where to look, my arm hair has a transition line between the side I plucked, and the side I haven’t yet. It’s unassuming, but still there, after plucking them 3 times, more than 4 months ago.
The disadvantage of that is that you need to let them grow a bit, in order to have something to grab on to.
hmm i had no idea that whole plucking bit was a thing. defo checking that out and seeing if it’ll work for me, thank!
pre-emptive not a femboy
Laser is #1, electrolysis as well but it takes longer and is more painful. From what I hear a lot of trans girls, including myself, try to get laser first then electrolysis to clean up a bit.
Until then get a good foundation and concealer and put it on after shaving. This should cover up 90% of the shadow.
ugh foundation and concealer, more stuff to buy (-_-;) not to mention lotion and cleanser for skin care too, where does it eeeeend
It doesn’t ☺️
You need a color correction cream to put on prior to your foundation. Orange is the best if you are pale skinned with dark facial hair. Don’t be afraid to go with a true orange color - that’s how you get it to cancel out the (typically) blue shadow you are seeing.
i’m actually not using any foundation or makeup whatsoever <_< mainly prefer to be ~au naturale~. i should probably start using some maybe tho, for photos.
still cis tho
I shave with specific brands of disposable twin-blade safety razor (Dorco, BIC, whatever gets you closest without cutting the skin) and shave gel. Gel seems to work a lot better than Barbasol cream.
You can also use hair removal cream for touch-ups, though my facial hair is unfortunately a lot tougher than hair removal cream alone can handle.
I hear that epilators (basically like an electric razor that goes a little deeper) work well, at least for body hair, though I haven’t tried one yet.
I hear that an epigenetic medication (not HRT) reduces the thickness of non-scalp hair to the genetic level you would have without androgens, but other factors like a history of shaving and your specific ethnicity may reduce the de-hairing effect. Many cis women shave.
i have never heard of epigenetic medication! somefin to look into, same with epilators lol. usually i just shave with one those safety razors that are like single bladed n such, with the ultra macho Creamo™ brand shaving butter, so that everyone knows i’m still cis tho.
so that everyone knows i’m still cis tho
I’m still figuring out what a femboy is, and to me it seems to be just a new term for a male or enby-identifying transvestite or girly boy. In my experience as a half-slavic 31-year-old in the rural northwest, when I crossdress nobody knows my gender but everyone assumes I have a dick. I could be trans, it could be performance art, it could be laundry day. (Why the short shorts and mascara? Must be a fag.) All queers are the same to folks outside of this community, so to them your choice of gender matters less than how good you look overall.
