Hi girls,
First of all, I'm really loving this site. Anyway, I have light brown to blonde facial hair. Does anyone know if this hair can be permanently removed?

Yes it can Cassie, and with lighter colored hair such as yours Electrolysis would probably be the best choice. Laser might get the Brown hairs but not the Blonde ones. If in doubt, see both a LHR (Laser Hair Removal) and Electrolysis Professional for an evaluation.

I also have fairly light hair but it is more of a reddish/blonde color. I've had about 15 hours of electrolysis and it working well so far. Electrolysis will probably be the most effective method for you.
I have had 5 laser hair treatments on my underarms and the reduction hasn't been nearly as substantial, laser works best for hair with darker pigment while electrolysis will work on any type of hair.
This is what my facial hair looked like before starting electrolysis.

Thanks for posting your pic Gingertrap, I have heard that LHR can remove Red hair but had not seen it done. Even though I favor LHR, it would be better if one has >50% of the face/neck with lighter colored hair, to go straight to Electrolysis.

electroylises is the only method id trust to destroy light coloured hairs , and i havent had very good experience with laser even on darker hairs , its defiantly tedious and takes a long time , if you can afford it i would recommend getting 3 hours sessions a week for a few months really gets it done faster to clear the whole beard each time hitting it again and again
