Long hair on the head sucks, so I keep it at 3mm. People say I look like a russian gangster, but anything longer really annnoys me. Beard and pubes get shaved on the regular.
I cannot shave on the torso and limbs, because the stubby remains keep getting cought in clothes.
Also the hair on the limbs provide extra distance from the clothes I am wearing. Its to much, when the fabric rubs on the hairless, bare skin.
The only place I like having hair is my scalp - and eyebrows - and I feel awful when I have hair anywhere else, but I think it's also a gender dysphoria thing, not just autism.
The only reason I still have hair is that shaving regularly is too hard. I would be quite happy to magically have no hair.
I feel that!
Hell yeah I hate hair
I've considered permanent solutions
Same, but the terror of getting lasered by some random person has this far prevented further action lol. I use a lot of wax, cream and razors to ensure comfort.
I am fine with having hair.
That said, there are certain lengths that are absolutely intolerable; for example, if my fringe is just the right length to sit on my eyebrows or get into my eyes.
I've grown my hair out several times over the years and this is the most correct answer. Currently my hair at my preferred length: long enough I can put it in a tail but not so long that my back doesn't pinch it against a chair.
I just hate having to deal with it.
I've been cutting my own hair with clippers, down to 1/8 inch every 2 weeks (more or less) since I was 14yo.
I like hair, because scratching my head and scalp is a soothing thing to my silly brain.
Just recently went on an eyelash plucking kick... I had ingrown eyelashes that were bothering me so I plucked everything out. Normally it's just neck and sideburn plucking.
Beyond that, I love long head hair. I want I to grow super long.
ALL of your hair??
So far everything except for my eye brows and lashes, fortunately quite small.
I don't hate them entirely. Only when they get too long for my taste or when they're wet. There are certain places where I'd prefer to get rid of them. Like my feet or places where the sun doesn't shine.
