Feeling some dysphoria today over my moustache. A while back, I did several sessions of laser, the last one being 14 months ago. I stopped over concerns that E was making my skin light-sensitive and that the laser was causing new freckles. But, for the last year, I have been coasting with essentially no dark hairs on my face: when I grow it out for electrolysis, the white hairs haven't been terribly noticeable.
Until now. As we all know, laser is not permanent, and the dark hairs have finally woken up again. For the last few weeks, the shadow on my upper lip has been getting darker, even with the closest shave I can manage. So it's time to get it zapped again (electrolysis). Which means growing it out for three days, when it is already uncomfortably visible. Aargh!
I've been doing electro for nearly a year and a half, probably close to 75 hours now. I so wish it was done! We are making progress. My cheeks and neck are about a 180 grit instead of a 60 grit. But there is still quite a way to go.
Hi Kathy, 20 May 2018
Sometime last year I went to an executioner for hair removal. I had been having my body waxed totally about twice each year. I then dcided I'd try electrolysis for my pubic area due to the difficulty in finding people that will do a male Brazilian.
I found a person that would do the electrolysis I wanted. I did three sessions and then stopped to see how it would look after a couple of months. To my surprise, the hair returned darker and thicker than ever. I went back to waxing.
After that experience I thought about having electrolysis on the area of my melon that is balding thinking if it made my pubes come back thicker than ever, why wouldn't it do the same for my head. Have yet to try it.
I did have my pubes, chest and back waxed the week before my orchie. I started HRT two weeks prior to the waxing and have noticed the hair that is returning is very thin, sparse and not growing as fast as it used to.
The last time I quit shaving my head was just before the orchi. I had been shaving it for 14 years;. It is growing nice and thick everywhere except the top of my head, which looks like an under nourished weed patch. I'm going to allow it to grow a good while longer to see if the magic mushrooms will cause a revival of the long dormant (hopefully) follicles on top.
If you were to see my ears when in full bloom, you'd think the hair from my head relocated itself inside my ears. I can see where the hair seeds may have gotten into my ears and germinated causing this problem. It's a tough one to deal with; I pluck, have them waxed, nothing I've tried works for very long. This may be a case for a super defoliant.
Best Always,
Christine
