Searching info reagarding tweezing or waxing

I tried it because I wanted to try the no-shadow look before doing laser. I went to a professional waxer. It was so extremely, unbelievably painful I was sure I would never do it again on full, thick hair. I had to grow the hair for a month and even then a good number of hairs broke off instead of getting pulled. All the hair grew back after a couple of weeks. So I wouldn?t recommend it. I might try it for the fuzz left over after laser because it?s so thin

I agree.  It was counterproductive because i had to wait and let it grow out to 1/4 inch before they could wax it again - so it looked like heck for almost three weeks between waxing!  I looked good for about five days after waxing but then looked bad for the next three weeks. MUCH better to laser or go MPB to avoid the horseshoe look.  BECAUSE MY HAIR IS GRAU LASER WAS NOT AN OPTION FOR ME - SO I WENT WITh SMP and IU am very happy with it!

I guess it's really not worth the money, effort, and pain. I will just shave for now, even it's a chore. Beats styling my hair every day and going to the barber every month.

I would advise against lasering the facial hair for a couple of reasons.  Quite opposite of head hair, facial hair tends to improve with age.  That means new hair may "sprout" after the laser treatment, requiring you to shave anyway of get more treatments.  The second, and most important reason IMO, is that you will retain the option of growing a beard or some facial hair option other than the mustache.

This is the result after five years waxing. The hair is growing very sparse, a 70% of the hair follicles are destroyed because mechanical damage. In the process I improved the waxing method and I'm achieving the permanent baldness in a faster way. I added new ingredients who are helpfull to make my goal, be a true bald man.

It looks great.  How often do you wax it, and do you need to do any shaving or trimming in between waxing sessions?  Are you able to wax it yourself, or do you need assistance or professional help to do it?

Well, give it at least one. Try and see how you like it. but do not try to do it by yourself have a professional do it for you

Thanks!!! I wax once per month, I shave only once per week just to trim the thin troubles, the rasor takes almost nothing. Is impossible to find someone who make a scalp epilation in my city, the laser or waxing services offer only to other parts of the body, not for scalp.
Because my balding procedure is a very personal issue and I like to do with privacy, I do all by myself without help, in the beginning I needed practice since making the wax until hair removal work. For the back of my head I use two mirrors, one located in my front and other in my back in that way I see what I'm doing. Is necessary to be courageous with pain sometimes, but the result are very pleasant, and each waxing session is less painfull and less hairy than the others.
 I am botanist and know about some natural treatments, I like to be responsible with my body and I spent a quite long time investigating about my procedure, I done when I was sure the waxing don't cause any serious damage.
 I am happy with my natural waxing method, and the bald achievements because  traction alopecia.

I wish I had your patience and courage, but I just can't go through with waxing.  I bought me a waxing kit last October and tried to do it on my own. Not only was it messy, but also painful and not very good. Most wax professionals here in the U.S. refuse to do it. I would love to have a smooth bald look and feel for longer.

After deciding I wanted to stay bald forever, I did six sessions of laser hair removal a couple of years ago.  I quit because it wouldn?t remove the grey hair.  If I let my remaining hair grow for a few days, all that?s left is white.  No one in my town offers electrolysis.   I found an electrologist in a town 100 miles away who said she?d be glad to help me.  I?m tempted to set up an appointment to get rid of my hair once and for all.

@chuck63 Thanks for sharing your story and I have read a few of your posts. When did you feel that you were ready to be a permanent bald guy (i.e. to go for scalp laser hair removal)? It is certainly a big decision to go for it.

Did others notice the difference (i.e. the no shadow look)?

If you go for electrolysis, that would be an interesting experience. I have heard of guys going for tweezing after laser hair removal to become completely bald. 

I have decided to keep my head shaved bald and hope to be bald for life. That said, I am not at the stage to go for scalp laser hair removal. I am just interested in other people's experience.

I had stayed shaven for three years before going the laser route.  I was left with some patchy dark areas after the first 3-4 treatments.  It?s been a couple of years and I?m still pretty much shadow free.  I have quite a bit of white hair left.  It?s easier to shave now, but it would be nice to not have to shave every day.

Will I recommend that guys get their cheek line and their neck line lasered while their beard still has full color that way they always look well groomed and never have to put up with the hassle of daily shaving
