Unhappy Women of Colour and Hair Growth

Hi all,

I'm sorry for the really weird topic heading but I didn't know how else to phrase this. I've done some reading and it suggests that dark skin doesn't respond well to laser hair removal or electrolysis, so now I'm left wondering, what can I do?

The last two years have seen me go from plucking 5 or 6 stray hairs on my chin to epilating 2x a week on my chin, jaw and side burns. I'm so horrified by it all. My SO says you can only notice it in certain light but this is the same person looks in the fridge and says there is no cheese when it's on the top shelf, front and center. lol.

I just don't know what my options, and I'm wondering if there are any women of colour or minorities on this site and what have they done to sucessfully combat the hair growth.

I hope this is in the right place and doesn't offend anyone. Should I do this in the Ethnicities forum?
