Got laser the other day and now my shitty pencil stash is like pretty dark no matter how much I shave -.-
for some reason whenever I shave the day after laser it feels less effective than usual, but then in a couple days it's usually better.
it's a real thing, the burnt hairs don't work well with a safety razor but after a few days exfoliating yanks them out very effectively
Yeah just tried to shave again and it wasn’t very effective still
do you exfoliate after a few days? makes a big difference for me if I exfoliate and then shave on like day 3 after laser
Yea
honestly, I think some of them have already started to fall off just from rubbing my face.
or maybe I am delusional, but right now it feels smoother than it did an hour ago.
Yeah it's cause of the burned hair. It will go but it sucks in the mean time -.-
Luckily it only lasts for about 2 weeks! I have really dark contrast, and it was always a bit brutal in the days after laser.
That's normal! I wish people had told me ahead of time.
Basically your hair is burned and you won't be able to shave it really well for a bit, usually for me some of it looks somehow darker/thicker in patchy ways and after 4-6 days it falls out and then it's all smooth. A lot of the hair is burned and the root is dead, and it has to grow a little bit to fall.
it gets better after a few days make sure to exfoliate on day 3 and every 3 days after that!
