Dear Readers, Just like others, I’m sick and tired of shaving everyday so I’ve searched the internet about products that will help minimize the growth of facial hairs. There are numerous products appeared when you search the keywords “Hair Inhibitor”. I’ve found one that interests me a lot because of the claim that it will not just slows the hair growth but it can stop it through time. So I gave it a shot even if I’m skeptical and don’t have much money to spend. I’ve taken the risks and purchased one bottle of KALO spray and one bottle of KALO lotion for about $90 from a local distributor. Before I use the product, I read a lot and participated on a forum and ask questions that I have in mind. Until fully convinced and I fully understand how it works, I started to do some actions. Since waxing is not a good option for men facial hair removal and electrolysis is expensive, I resort to tedious tweezing. The method is painful because my hairs are course black deep rooted on the face. I’m aware of the consequence, so I make sure that everything is sterilized. Because I’m heavy bearded, I strategized the tweezing, area by area. Each area I’ve been through, I applied KALO as instructed and continued tweezing the other area the next day. After 3 days, I fully removed all the hairs from the face. After a week, I’ve noticed ingrown hairs abreast with grown hairs. I continued tweezing and applied KALO as instructed. Week after week, I’ve noticed that hair growths are getting sparser and lots of fine hairs all over the face. KALO is affecting the hair growth for there are lots of areas with less hair than before. Using KALO is not an overnight miracle but a series and a gradual effect as I observed. There will be evident results before the entire first bottle of spray is consumed. If there are no changes then KALO is not effective and should stop using it. But it is very impossible that it will not be effective if the instructions which are very simple are followed correctly. I’ve provided some pictures and few steps I’ve taken for reference. The pictures are taken before I do tweezing so that I can give a clear picture of the development of every application. 
Picture 1
Picture 2 A) Heavy beard all over the face down to neck On the pictures above, you can see that the hairs are very course, thick, black and scattered across the face. B) Tweezed areas One by one the hairs are pulled from its root. You can see some portions of skin where hairs are already pulled out. Try to be cautious when tweezing these kinds of hairs. Sometimes there are bloods upon extraction. Expect a painful experience for the first time the hairs are pulled. The areas tweezed will surely turn into red. (The following day, expect some minor infection similar to acne or pimples or small boils. I don’t know how it is called). The picture 1 and 2 are taken during the first 3 days of tweezing the hair out of the face. Some hairs grow back naturally after 4 days. So, I plucked it everyday and applied KALO solution. 
Picture 3 A) Hair growths are sparser There are spotted less dense areas of hair growth across the jaw down to neck. Notice some areas where there are no hairs. On my estimate this is a 20%-30% less hair growth. B) Unusual white hairs Although there are natural white hairs you’ve seen on picture 1, but these white hairs are different. These are soft and weak and get break easily when pulled by the tweezers. This picture 3 is taken after 3 weeks of tweezing and applying KALO Hair Inhibitor.
Picture 4 A) More lesser hair Bumps are caused by ingrown hairs. As you can see in picture 4, there are less dense hairs compared to picture 3 with more bumps. The picture 4 is taken after 5 weeks of applying KALO solutions. 
Picture 5 A) More Lesser Hair Week after week, hairs are getting sparser. The black spots or dots are ingrown hairs that grow more slowly. Sometimes they have shallow roots that can easily be removed through scrubbing. B) Fine Hairs These are fine hairs growing on this side of the face. It is not clearly seen in the picture but it is really there. This picture 5 is taken after 8 weeks of applying KALO on the face. Each picture is taken before tweezing and treatment. It has been 8 weeks since I’ve touched my face with a razor. Every tweezed is compared to 2-3 days of shave free. I’m tweezing every 4 days now and sooner or later every week or every month or not anymore. Tips for Men (Facial Hairs): 1) As much as possible pull the hair from its root rather than shaving. 2) KALO is effective when the hairs are pulled from its root. When it’s not, you will just waste money, efforts and time. It works best during the anagen phase of hair life cycle. For it will disturb the hair growth by preventing some components of hair to reach it. I don’t know exactly how it works but it is how they explained it to me. 3) If you have course black deep rooted hairs then it is a good sign that KALO will be more effective because it will leave a large pores where the solution can permeate easily. But it will take longer time to kill the root. It will take you about 4-5 times of tweezing the same hair or even more. 4) Apply KALO Solution using with clean cotton and spread it over the face. 5) The quality of the application should be like droplets of water as if you’re perspiring. 6) Let the solution dry naturally. 7) In this case you will notice that it will be absorbed by the skin and leaves a soft like moisturized surface. 8) Do it twice after 15-30 minutes interval. 9) The last application would be the lotion. Lotion will seal the pores. Let it stay there for an hour or more. 10) In summary: Apply 2x using the spray solution and apply the lotion for the 3rd time 11) The next day, do the procedure again. 12) The concept here is treating the skin while the pores are still open where the KALO can penetrate and reach the very root of hairs. This can be done 24 hours after the actual tweezing. Monitoring the effects of KALO: 1) After a week of first application, you will notice growth difference between hairs. 2) Hairs will grow differently on different rate and proportion on your face. 3) You will notice that there are like ingrown hairs on some areas and there are like naturally grown hairs on some part. See the pictures I’ve provided. 4) This is normal because the solution is working in background. 5) In this situation, you should avoid shaving even if you are tempted to do so because of not visually appealing. 6) Get a tweezers and pluck those hairs which you can pull from its root. 7) Apply KALO again using the prescribed method above and if you have more money try to use the Ingrown Hair Treatment (IHT). Just follow the instructions provided when using the Ingrown Hair Treatment. This product will help you remove ingrown hairs. 8) Day after day you will see ingrown hairs and grown hairs across your face. Just repeat the routine every day. Tweeze the visible grown hairs until you’re satisfied, apply KALO and Ingrown Hair Treatment (IHT), and leave them on your face for several minutes to an hour. 9) Give yourself at least 2-3 hours a day for these routines if you are a heavy bearded man. Lesser time if you are not. 10) You will notice that hairs grow slower after 2-3 weeks. And your tweezing interval will be 2-3 days and tweezing time will be less than 1 hour. 11) Time after time hairs are growing weaker and you will notice the increase of white or colored hairs aside from the natural color of your hairs. If you pull this, those hairs will get break easily for they are so soft / fragile. 12) You will also notice increase of shallow rooted hairs which are different from ingrown hairs where the roots are deep. I think these hairs are on their telogen phases (resting phase) which are caused by KALO solution itself (I believe). 13) This is not an overnight miracle as I said before. In my case, I’ve seen the result I’d like to see only after 8 weeks of tweezing and applying KALO. And continuously doing the routines I’ve wrote here until such time I’m free from facial hairs. 14) A bottle of spray can give partial results for a small area like face. Another 2-3 more bottles, maybe a full result can be achieved in the long run. 15) It takes more persistence when using this method. Every permanent hair removal technology has its own methods, effectiveness, price and results. Choose whatever good for you and where you are comfortable with. If you are happy with the results, it is worth spending time and money. PROS: 1) Comparing to laser treatment, KALO hair inhibitor is much more economical achieving the same results of inhibiting the growth of hairs. 2) It doesn’t hurt the skin. I don’t have allergies, complications or unusual results conspicuously seen on the surface. (You should always test your skin before using any kinds of chemical). 3) It’s easy to apply the solution which leaves the skin smooth and moisturized 4) For a longer time, it is a permanent solution of stopping hair growth. CONS: 1) It takes patience and perseverance to see the full result which is about 8 and more weeks 2) Tweezing is tedious for heavy bearded men. 3) It will not work for everybody but you can always give it a try. God bless everyone!  Thanks
