Bodyhair: To be, or not to be...?

[Dereksolo]

Unfortunately I was blessed with alot of hair on my body. My legs are hairy, my arms are hairy, my chest is hairy, my hair is hairy, my @$$ is hairy, etc... Well, anyways, I was wondering, if any of you out their have the best suggestion for getting rid of body hair. I heard ridding yourself of bodyhair supposedly looks alot better and allows people to see more muscle definition, especially in the Ab regions, but I wanted some input. Shaving, buzzing, waxing, etc... Which is better? My legs and arms are just too damn hairy. I heard that whenever you cut your hair, it grows back thicker... If this is true, then I'm guessing it would not be such a good idea because I won't be able to shave my body for the rest of my entire life. Anyways; input please.

Shaving works fine for me.

And no, your hair will not grow back thicker if you cut it.

There's a cream you can get from the doctor that prevents the growth hair after you shave for up to a month, although it's a bit pricy. It think it saves money when you're only shaving 12 times a year.

Regular shaving works just fine. And it all depends on what you're shaving for. If you're into bodybuilding, then you'll definitely have to shave anyway, as the hair will block muscle definition. If not, it could be for personal appearance, self-esteem. Some ladies love men with hair, some women hate it. Whatever you wanna do...it's up to you.

If you're into competition or really hard core I guess shaving or some kind of hair removal is required, but I can tell you that for me, an average guy with a decent build and moderate body hair, it just wasn't worth it. I tried the shaving route - took a lot of time and left bumps, was not fun when it was growing back. At my wife's suggestion I did the waxing thing - had my chest, back and butt waxed, which was not cheap and did not feel too great either - never again for that route. The worst part was that for me it didn't really seem to make that much difference in how much definition you could see.

I really don't remember. I was going to ask my doctor about it the next time I went.

they make nair for men. I've used it and it works well. your smooth for a few days. It doesnt completly remove the hair.. just near the hair line. I also found other stuff. Here's one called oleda

Nice. Anyone ever try these creams? I think I heard from someone that they can burn your skin or leave red marks if you leave on too long or something like that.

My cousin used that epil-stop crap on his chest. It didn't remove his hair and all it did was burn his skin away like acid...it looked gross.

I don't know about that permanent removal of hair. The only place I'd use that would be on my back where a few annoying hairs come out from time to time. I think that oleda stuff sounds the best.

If you leave nair or epilstop on too long it can leave small cuts and burns on your skin. Epil stop burned me the worst though. Last time i did nair(3 weeks ago) I only had one cut mark in the center of my chest. That's because i applied the cream 3 times cause its a tough area to get the hair out. Otherwise I took a shower afterwords to get off any of the excess cream and put aloe on all over chest and stomach. I had no irritation or itchyness. And usually I'am sensitive to stuff. So i definetly reccomend the nair for men over the epil stop. Those are the only 2 I have tried though.

THe one i saw in a mag says it removes hair and keeps it off for 4-6 weeks i believe. That's a pretty big claim. I'am still looking around to see where i saw that add. It might have been in the store. For some reason the name hott keeps coming into my head but i cant find it in search.. so i dont now

That's one of the many myths about the human body. Not true at all.

I wonder what you DO find in that search. Lol.
