Back Hair, Do Care? Here Are Some Effective Solutions To Get Rid Of It

Conventional Ways

Men who wish to have a smooth back can choose between a painless option where the hair grows back soon, or a slightly painful procedure where the hair takes lesser time to grow back. These are not permanent back hair removal solutions and need to be repeated at least once a month.

• Shaving

The back is one of the largest parts of your body and is the most difficult to reach. Assisted shaving can help remove the hair on your back completely without leaving any patches.

If you have a lot of hair on your back, consider trimming the hair first, so that the razor does not get clogged. For shaving, you could choose a hand-held razor, an electric shaver, an epilator, or a back shaver. Make sure there’s plenty of water to rinse the razor. Also ensure there’s adequate amounts of gel or shaving cream to ensure a smooth shave.

Once the shaving is done, take a shower and pat dry your back. Do not dry your back in a rubbing motion as it may cause irritation and burning sensation to the newly exposed skin.

• Hair Removal Creams

A comparatively simpler method would be the use of hair removal creams. The market offers many depilatory creams or hair remover creams and you can choose one that best suits your skin type.

Test the cream on your skin before using it, just to make sure there is no skin irritation.

Apply the cream gently on your back and make sure your entire back is evenly covered. Check the packaging for the amount of time you have to wait. Once the prescribed time is over, gently wipe your back with a wet cloth until all the hair is removed. Wash your back with warm water to remove all the remaining cream and hair.

• Waxing

When opting for this method, professional waxing is definitely a better and convenient option than doing it yourself.

Professional waxing would include quicker and less painful hair removal. If you choose to do it at home by yourself, be prepared for a lot of patience and teary-eyes. In the long run, waxing starts hurting less and wouldn’t be such a bad option for depilation.

The results of waxing last longer than shaving or depilatory creams, so the amount you spend at a salon to get a professional wax will be totally worth it.

The process can leave your back red and inflamed, which makes it more prone to infections. So once the waxing is done, take a shower with an antibacterial soap.

Use a good moisturising lotion to keep your skin hydrated like Kaya’s Intense Hydration Body Lotion to reduce the redness.

Clinical ways

There are ways to permanently reduce back hair, which may be a little time-consuming and expensive but will give you long-lasting and effective results.

• Laser Treatment

One of the most commonly opted for and worthwhile depilatory techniques is the back hair laser removal treatment.

A high-powered controlled laser beam is projected into your skin to remove the hair right from its roots. The beam hits the melanin pigment present in the skin and breaks the hair follicle, and the hair falls out. The procedure of back laser hair removal thins down the hair in the region drastically.

Most people require a minimum of seven treatments, each set a week apart, for laser back hair removal.

Even though the process can be slightly painful in the beginning, laser hair removal gives a reliable and long-lasting solution to your back hair woes.

• Electrolysis

You could also choose electrolysis, which is a technique where electric shocks are given to each hair follicle. This method is very time-consuming as each cell has to be individually treated. But remember, treating a region as broad as the back will be heavy on your pocket.

Most men confess how their back is not a sweaty mess of curled up hair after the removal of back hair. Go for a method that best suits your budget and skin type and go back hair-free.
