Hey guys! What do you think this cactus is? I vaguely remember it said Oreocereus (old man of the Andes) something when I bought it at IKEA but it has no hair. Can Oreocereus have no hair?

If it was an old man, cactus of any kind, it would already have the hair from tiny tiny up, cause that’s why they call him that that’s not one of those I think a torch is correct
