What should men do if they have chest hair? Three ways to help you remove it

For men, the abundance of body hair is related to the secretion of androgen in the body, and the same is true for chest hair. However, for men with more abundant chest hair, if they want to remove it, they can take the following methods.

1. Shaving

Location: Home.

Suitable for: large areas of hair on legs, arms and armpits.

Advantages: quick, simple, easy to carry, and painless.

Disadvantages: Sometimes the skin is scratched, hair stubble is still on the surface of the skin, and there is a burning sensation after shaving

Growth factor: Newly grown hair needs to be shaved off every one or two days.

Operation Note: Take a shower before shaving to soften the hair before shaving. Water or oil is the best lubricant, and soap is not recommended, as it will make the skin too dry. The blade should be replaced after 5-6 uses. If you use an electric shaver, you don't need to do this.

2. Waxing

Location: At home or in a beauty salon.

Suitable for: Softer hair on limbs, chest, abdomen and lips.

Advantages: No stubble, long-lasting effect, hair can become thinner after multiple uses.

Disadvantages: It is expensive and painful. More importantly, you have to wait until the hair grows to 0.5-1cm before you can have the second treatment.

Growth factors: Fine hair grows after about two weeks, and thicker hair grows after 4 to 6 weeks.

When applying wax, apply it in the direction of hair growth. When removing wax, remove it against the direction of hair growth, and press the skin firmly. Sun protection should be applied within 3 days after the wax is removed. If the hair is too long, trim it with scissors first.

3. Chemical hair removal

Location: Home.

Suitable for: limbs, armpits, and exposed parts of a bikini.

Advantages: cheap, long-lasting effect, no stubble, can last 1-2 months, painless.

Disadvantages: It has a pungent smell and is somewhat irritating to the skin. It cannot be used on the face.

Growth factor: 5-20 days, depending on the rate of hair regrowth (average is two weeks).

Operation suggestions: A small skin test must be done first. Use cold water when rinsing, and do not use skin lotion, especially sunscreen, for at least 2-4 hours to avoid irritating the skin.
