Edith. Thank you guys so much. You caused smiles and tears. Happy tears.

I struggled with my looks my whole Life. (Bullying, people calling me monkey, laughing, calling me disgusting) In my youth i shaved my whole upper body pretty much everyday and i have a lot of scars because of that.

So..it truly means a lot

Have I caused permanent damage?

First picture- a few days ago before trimming

Second picture- the state of my mustache when hair length isn’t hiding it

For the past couple of years, I have developed a pretty bad habit of constantly touching and messing with my mustache, and unfortunately it has led to some noticeable thinning and bald patches, particularly on the right side.
I have always been pretty particular about how my mustache looks. If I notice a hair sticking out, an uneven area, or something that does not look quite right, I find myself constantly trying to fix it. I will pinch the hairs between my fingers, run my fingers through them, and repeatedly adjust them throughout the day. A lot of the time I do this without even realizing it.

I do not deliberately pluck individual hairs out, but when I pinch or run my fingers through my mustache, hairs will often come out with very little resistance. Sometimes they even come out with what looks like the root or bulb attached. Over time, this has caused certain areas to become noticeably thinner than others.

The frustrating part is that the thinning has only made the habit worse. I am constantly trying to make the thinner areas look fuller or more even, which leads to more messing with the hairs and potentially more hair loss. I realize that I am likely causing the very problem I am trying to fix, but breaking the habit has been surprisingly difficult.

There have been periods where I managed to leave my mustache alone, and during those times I noticed some small new hairs growing in areas that were previously bare. Unfortunately, I eventually started messing with it again, and the thinning got worse.

I am now considering shaving completely for a few months to break the habit and give my mustache a chance to recover. My biggest concern is whether I have caused permanent damage to the follicles after doing this for so long.

Has anyone else dealt with mustache thinning or bald patches caused by constantly grooming, touching, or pulling at the hairs? If so, did you eventually see regrowth after leaving it alone? How long did it take before you started noticing a difference, and did the affected areas ever return to their original thickness?

I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced something similar, especially those who managed to recover their mustache density after years of this kind of behavior.

TLDR: Ive groomed my mustache to the point of an unhealthy amount of hairs falling out for about a years worth of time. This is only affecting the right side. This leads me to try to “fix” and hide the patches by manipulating the hairs more, thus causing more hair to fall out. Will I see this hair grow back? Should I shave clean for a few months to break my habit?

First...a full beard does not work for me and i do not like to go clean shaven so i am not sure to go with a fuller circle beard/goatee or the more styled version (photo 1-3).

White skin near eyebrow/styling advice

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hey so I just got my eyebrows done professionally for the first time. I had a really bad scar that cut my right eyebrow essentially in half, so they removed the top section and just styled it from there. However there’s quite a bit of white skin near my eyebrow, and the eyebrow that was scarred is noticeably a different shape than the other one (hair didn’t grow there due to scar tissue). I tried to keep the hair around the scar when threading but it got so thin above the scar I just said screw it and removed it. Is there any way to mitigate the white skin? Or any way to try to get hair growing again on the scar tissue

Hello! I recently lost my self-confidence after my ex left me. One of the reason (it wasn't the main problem) was that my appearance glowed down. And I don't understand why she said that.

Do you think I should change my haircut? And is it possible to make my face looks slimmer? I have the feeling my face is really puffy but maybe it’s just me

If you have any others suggestion (about my hair or something else) I would be glad to hear that! Thank!

I'm 24 btw

Help with beard grooming. Can’t get a good shave.

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

I’m determined to keep my sideburns thick, my mustache, and my chin (accidentally shaved too much off).

I use a Gillette 5 blade that swivels, barabasol with some type of cooling thing, and then alcohol based aftershave and moisturizer after.

I also have a big electric one that I use to buzz my hair and it’s meant for bigger beards.

Are there any products you recommend that will help me with getting even on both sides or something that will help my hair grow quicker?

So i grew out my stubble (I wouldnt really call it a beard) in the summer. After around 3-4 weeks, I shaved it off because I felt homeless. I like the beard look in general, but I feel like my beard line hasn't fully developed yet. Also, some areas like my stache and the area under my lips still consists of very light hair with roots that probably aren't deep yet. What do y'all think?

Would a stache, no goatee suit me?
