I am 29 years old. I have excessive hair growth on my chest and back. While I don't want to get rid of completely, how do I manage it?
With excessive hair growth on the chest and back, it can get quite messy after some point of time. Here are some tips to manage the dense growth:
Ensure that, the growth at the back and chest are in the same proportion.
For keeping some length on, the body hair trimmers are the best tools. They come with different adjustments for different lengths.
Trim rather lightly and use a scissor for light-plucking. Also, while trimming, leave the area from below the chin till a little lower than the Adam's apple.
As for the back you may want to take a friend's help. Begin with trimming from the bottom of your back in straight smooth motions. Be careful, since the blades can scrape your flesh.
Shaving is the most common method but you have to be very particular. A little negligence and you could end up with cuts and skin irritation. Also the subsequent hair growth may be much harsher.
If you are looking for an absolutely smooth surface, waxing could be an option. But then you'd need to get a session every month!
Regular trimming would help control the dense growth and at the same time look presentable in case you plan to go shirtless on the beach.
