Balefire Barber?

[Leatherleaf]

If one loved a haircut so much that one wished to keep their hair in that style permanently, could one visit a Balefire Barber to burn the threads of their hair to a specific point that would never grow?

 

Likewise, could said barber Balefire the face to prevent having to shave forever?

 

Also, could one Balefire fingernails and the like just to make one's grooming that much simpler?

I don't think that would work lol you'd prolly have to balefire the area that the hair pholocules grew and the cutical of the nail which would take part of you finger off

...yowch.

 

Risky.

Balefire affects threads in the Pattern, so unless a hair or nail counts as a separate thread from the person it is atached too, all you'll end up with is singed hair at best (it's the fashion these days, all the best people are doing it) or being balefired yourself most likely. Also, even if it was possible in theory, what if the barber/manicurist cocks things up a little? Would you risk being stuck with the same bad haircut forever?

See, my question is, where would you find someone cabable of using balefire willing to cut your hair? Unless Balefire is just the newest brand of scissors.

Now I have images of Balefire Lightsabers...

Hair grows from the roots, not the tips. Balefiring the tips off would not prevent the roots from growing.

 

Debunked :)

Gillette, 5 blades + 1 Heron-Marked blade for extreme precision!

Could you use bf to still soneone,or is it purely a physical force?

[Leatherleaf]

Ah thanks for the input. Alas, I think the most telling debunkery though is where you would find a barber who would go through with such a haircut, knowing that they would no longer be required for that customer again. It all comes down to money, thanks Karl Marx!

Balefire burns the victims thread in the pattern upon contact. The connection between a person and the OP is not a physical connection per say, so there is no way for balefire to really touch the person through their connection to the OP.
