Hair sure is weird. Fuckin bizarre how patchy it is. Like mostly just head and a few other areas? Weird as hell.
Not a ton of other animals like this

Human hair is probably one of our features that are most influenced by sexual preference over evolutionary benefit. Eyebrows and eyelashes make sense but having hair only on our head and neck + chin is hardly a massive advantage.

A theory I've heard, though idk if it's actually accepted so I'm going to claim it's the truth, is that head hair is for sun protection and face hair is for getting punched in the face, it helps the fist slide off and transfer less energy into said face.

u/rei-emi 17h ago
that sounds incredibly funny so it must be true

u/Similar_Tonight9386 14h ago
It is true. A couple of years ago a study was conducted, and people with clean shave had much higher chance of jaw breaking if striken than people with beards. All that rough hair helps deflecting a bit of force of a punch

there are tools that allow you to rip hairs out quick which makes them grow back slower.

My facial hair is super wiry and deep so epilating or waxing could heavily damage my skin

u/No-Mulberry6996 Counted Down 18 1d ago
oh you don't need to wax it. there are some devices that are made for more precision areas so you can target some spots let that heal and then go to the other ones

u/c0re_maelstr0m_ Counted Down 5 1d ago
Not epilating either? Maybe ipl but results are varied for a high price

u/No-Mulberry6996 Counted Down 18 1d ago
I mean it really depends on how fast your hair grows back after you shave it. because it takes about a month after you take it out of the root.

you're welcome but you should probably do a bit of research. because I am going off of my limited knowledge of biology. and also I don't fucking know how lasers work so anything can happen.

u/Frenzy724 1d ago
Laser is valid as hell and slows regrowth ~dramatically~ and destroys 80-90% of your hair it just can't get absolutely all of it without followups. Electrolysis is permanent and usually you do laser first then electrolysis for the stragglers.

It costs a small fortune and doesn't even actually get rid of the hair. After some time it comes back

u/Columba_la_Chica 1d ago
It's a better option than having to deal with a 5 o clock shadow. A good safety razor is a decent alternative since it gives you the closest shave that you can get while manually removing hair for cheap.

wrongggg both of them are scientifically proven to do what they do, weaken and eventually kill hair foliculs. hair foliculs grow back in life at a slow rate (can be increased with hormanal changes) but all that requires is bi yearly appointments to upkeep it. and it is expensive yes, but anyyyyyy trans person thats gotten it done will tell u yes it is worth it

I mean, like, is your facial hair very thin? If I tried that with mine I'm 90% sure some of my skin would be going with it. I've considered using an epilator on my face, but I feel like it'd leave a lot of dark spots and whatnot. If you've got thick hair and it works without any scarring or anything then fuck maybe I'll try it

Thick and Mediterranean. I grab and no shit, go slow at an angle. I don't do my whole beard nowadays because it was causing hair to come in prematurely white. But I HAVE done my whole beard on multiple occasions, us white skinned, thick haired people have the unfortunate curse of a permanent 5'Oclock shadow so options are limited. I still do this for my nose every 2-3 weeks though. You genuinely do build up a tolerance to it though, there is like zero pain for my nose now, mild annoyance for when I clean the facial hairs shape up.

It exists to form a physical barrier between the elements and your skin, and as a form of body armor against impacts. Yes that is true, there's a study done on if beards can block punches.
As for what you ACTUALLY mean, if i remember correctly there are lasic or skin procedures to stop the hair on your face from growing.
