Hair Coverup

[Linzy]

Hello,

Obviously by my post count you can tell I am very new here, and I have only been lingering in the background reading posts for a little while too.

I am relatively new to this processing of CDing, it started more as a sexual thing when I was younger and has evolved into a longing to feel like a women. At my current stage I have no interest in going outside, simply enjoying myself when behind closed doors, or under cloths. I am gradually trying to develop a better female figure when I am dressed up.

Unfortunately in a purge I had a little while ago, I threw out all of my items, so I am still without any clothing. Since I don't want to throw money away, I am trying to do some research to get the best results.

Part of this change is causing me much frustration... hair. I am in frequent almost daily contact with at least one member of my family, and since I do not want to go out dressed, I can not make any permanent changes.

So here are my questions on this topic (I am sure more will come in the future):

- What is the best way to get a really close facial shave, when I normally shave you can still notice my facial hair, its just not out of control.
- Is there anyway to give the appearance of nice female eyebrows without actually plucking them?
- Is there anyway to coverup leg hair to give the appearance of smooth legs (I was trying to think of some sort of pantyhose, but as I do not have any supply of these available, I wanted to ask first).


I don't think my arm hair will be a problem, it is not very dark or bushy. Honestly, I have seen GGs with more arm hair than I have ;-). I also have very little chest hair, so that wont be a problem either.

Thanks for any help,

Linzy

Welcome to the forum. There is a search function here that can help you find a lot of helpful threads on topics of interest to you. Shaving, makeup, wigs, etc. are all there. Enjoy your stay.

Close shave - I use an electric shaver, Philip's three rotary head, then dry shave with a razor with and against the grain. Some recommend using hair conditioner instead of shaving cream because it lubricates so well. Still have some beard shadow - buy some concealer designed for beard cover (good search topic)

Female Eyebrows - some people have used Clowns' makeup gum or something like that which covers and binds all the eyebrow hairs, then literally create properly shaped brows with and eyebrow pencil. There should be some old threads on this one. I personally have plucked my eyebrows down to where I want them and then use an eye brow pencil to get the shape and darkness (to match my wig) needed.

Leg Hair - A ton of previous threads on this one. I used to use a trim shorter and then bleach the hairs, now for this last summer I have just epilated the hair off. Can't remove the hair, some people use two pair of nylons, a thicker, higher denier, more opaque nude pair first and then black or whatever color over that. They do get warm during the summer. Some people get the special hose used by Hooter girls and some dancers that are nude and super opaque.

Good luck and again welcome to the forum.

Welcome Linzy!

Allie's certainly nailed the responses to your questions. Would only add:

Close shave - I switched to the Gillette Fusion Proglide based on advice from this web site and it's been wonderful, girl and boy mode.

Eye brows - Elmer's glue stick is all the rage. Seriously! Lots of youtube videos on this, plus it washes out easily with soap and water. If you want to go natural you can clean up stray hairs and trim quite short with nobody noticing. Then continue taking them down slowly until more would be uncomfortable. Lastly, threading is actually quite popular with guys as well as with the ladies. And, lastly lastly, bangs render eye brows relatively moot (see my icon for example).

Legs - Agree with Allie that you can reach a point with trimming and bleaching where you're comfortable dude or girly.

Good luck, have fun!

Thanks for your replies!

That Elmer's glue is interesting, I will have to try that once I start dressing again (hopefully soon).

As for the leg hair, I really want to avoid any sort of trimming or bleaching. I have seen some people suggest using some sort of opaque pantyhose - how well do these work on covering up relatively thick hair?

Thanks again,

Linzy

Linzy, During the cooler months I shave my legs because I can wear long pants most of the time when I'm not Susan. I just tell my wife year after year I hate leg hair and that's it. My wife doesn't know about susan. When I have leg hair (7 months of the year) I buy my stockings at Walmart. They have three colors ( black, white, tan) manufactured by George. They cover my leg hair without any problems. I buy the tan ones and wear regular black shear stockings over them. It really looks good. I never wear pantyhose, only stockings with an under the bust corset with six suspenders. If you can ever figure out how to get your legs shaved, do it. I must say, sexy shear stockings on shaved legs feel so good. I get chill pumps just thinking about them. It's getting cool now and the razor gonna get my legs later with week. WOW. I wish you luck.

i shave most of my body hair, armpits, legs chest and so on. no-one ever really pays attention or notices the fact i shave my legs. i use a norelco electric razor to shave my face, use it wet with some nivea shave cream. i get pretty smooth.

Unfortunitly I still live at home and in the summer months I go swimming very often with my family, and in the winter we go on vacation which also involves some swimming.

At this stage, I believe my best solution is to use a pair of tan or opaque pantyhose / stockings as a skin and another pair for looks.

Perhaps in the future when I move out, and if I have a girlfriend that understands my CDing I will be able to shave my legs.

Thanks again for the replies!

Not knowing what you look like, as far as hair coloring, I can just tell you some things that have worked pretty well for me. My hair is a light color, so it's easy for me, but I take a comb. run it through the eyebrows, and then cut above the comb, to shorting the hair length, it takes away a bit of the bushiness, but not a feminine arch. and for me as a glass wearer, it does not stand out a lot as a guy. Derma Blend or some other scare, birth mark, or beard cover will help with that five o'clock shadow. I've heard, but never tried it, but they say, layering pantyhose, darker under, light on top, works wonders, or then you can use opaque tights, some of them nothing shows through, and they come in all kinds of colors to go with different outfits.
Good Lucky finding what you need to make it work for you.

I've been reading about a product called 'NYCE legs'. It's a spray on stocking. It covers blemishes and tattoos. Also can't ladder. Perhaps a few coatings might cover your hair. Google it and read about it. Hope this helps.

Notice in your thread during a purge you threw out clothing, etc. .don't forget one girl's rubbish might be another girl's sought after article.

just a quick addition about getting a really close facial shave. imo, it's best done a few minutes after getting out of the shower when your skin is a little dampened and softened by the water and steam and your pores are a little more open and relaxed :)
