I have a lot of facial hair; and I’ve been trying to properly combat it for a long time now.

I first got a safety razor, for a close shave - but the dark hairs were very visible and grew out a couple of millimeters by the end of the day.

I tried laser, but apparently my facial hairs are both light and dark, not to mention also having red pigments - so there weren’t much results.

Then i tried pulling hairs out, one by one - this has the actual results I want, but I have to spend so much time on it, and do it around 3 times a week to even keep it sort of under control.

I have a epilating machine (pulling hairs out), that work wonders on my legs - but my facial skin hates it, and last time I ripped my upper lip pretty badly

I’m hoping for permanent hair removal, but I have to wait for my doctor to hopefully send me to a place (electrolysis)

Does anyone here have any experience with waxing the face or such? Should I give up and live with the dark shades of shaving?

    I’m curious about waxing as well but was just thinking of pulling them out myself like you describe. I would assume if you twizzed everything at once it would have the same effect as waxing though right? You say you have to pull your hair out three times a week? That sounds tedious.

      Yea, now maybe it’s that I have a lot or that I’m slow with it - but I end up spending quite a few hours on it - it might work for you! It’s not painful at least which is good in my book

        I’ve not tried yet and definitely assume it would take some time to accomplish. What I was trying to convey was if you had to tweeze three times a week to keep up wouldn’t you still have to wax three times a week?

          Yes, but the assumption is that waxing will mean that I’ll get all the hairs, and that it will take far less time
