Prices for facial hair products typically range from 25L to 100L, with fatpacks often offering multiple color options and variations.

One specific facial hair product mentioned is the RAKE Facial Hair -Iver- EvoX, which contains 6 tintable tones in a fatpack. Single packs of this product are also available for purchase. The product is designed to work with various mesh body systems and offers customization through tinting options.

Free Facial Hair Options

While most facial hair products in Second Life appear to be paid offerings, some free options are available. According to one source, "🚫💲🚫 1 New Freebie minimum Everyday 🚫💲🚫" suggests that at least one new free product is offered daily, though specific details about facial hair freebies are limited.

The source material does not provide comprehensive information about obtaining free facial hair products, including eligibility requirements, sign-up processes, or expiration dates for these offers. Users interested in free facial hair options would need to regularly check promotional offerings from creators.

Using Facial Hair with Mesh Heads

For users with Catwa Bento mesh heads, facial hair application follows a specific process. Catwa offers nine male Bento mesh heads as of December 2019: Daniel, Stanley, Shaheen, Dino, Victor, Skell, Dude, Gac, and Travis. These heads work with various facial hair appliers that users can apply through the system's interface.

Facial hair in Second Life can be applied to either the upper or lower layer of the head, depending on the product and desired effect. The application process involves using the Master HUD provided with Catwa heads, where users can select and apply facial hair products. After application, facial hair can be tinted using the tinting options in the HUD to match the user's desired appearance.

Customization and Compatibility

Facial hair products in Second Life often offer extensive customization options. Many products include HUD-driven texture changes, allowing users to select from various colors and styles. Some facial hair products are designed to work with specific body types, such as Belleza Jake, Kario FIT/FLEX, Legacy Special, and Athletic bodies.

Compatibility between different creators' products is an important consideration. Omega appliers serve as a cross-brand relay system that allows facial hair and other products to work across different mesh body parts. Users with the correct relay for their body and head can wear Omega appliers regardless of the original creator.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Users may encounter several issues when using facial hair products in Second Life. One common problem is facial hair disappearing when applying makeup or eyeshadow, which occurs when both products attempt to use the same head layers. This can be resolved by carefully layering products, applying facial hair to the upper layer if necessary.

Visible seams at the sides or back of the neck may occur when wearing facial hair with mesh bodies. This issue can sometimes be addressed by adjusting Windlight settings in the viewer, though a perfect match may not always be possible. The Firestorm viewer offers an "Alpine Skinlight RGB" setting that may help minimize these visible lines.
