How to manscape back hair?

Manscaping – it’s the art of grooming your body hair, a practice that hasn’t been around for long. But increasingly, men have started embracing this concept in recent times, and why not? There is no shame in trying to look good after all. If you are looking to remove back hair or reduce its growth rate, then we have got just the guide for you!

Whether it’s trimming or waxing, read on for some expert advice and tips on keeping your back hair under control.

Get your Tools ready

Before beginning any work of art (or manscaping) one must gather their tools. In order to shave or trim unwanted hairs from different areas of the body (especially bits behind our own reach like our backs), using proper equipment is essential.

There are several tools available out there depending on what result you’re seeking:

  1. Clippers – Preferable if you’re taking things down quite short.
  2. Electric Trimmers – Paramount when lengthier but controlled methods are needed.
  3. Disposable Razors – Mostly used with foam/suds for smoothness

Decide how much needs to go

So maybe perhaps bald shouldn’t be a term used here plus overkill’s never great instead lets put them aside & begrudgingly accept the inevitability of nature! So let’s begin by asking ourselves how much (if any) do we need get rid off?

With each individual having a particular set bacnair pattern\growth; it may seem overwhelming however marking an idealess border can help us picture where more attention should preferably be focused.

Backhair Border Diagram

The white area indicated above represents NO BACK HAIR ZONE!!! An uncharted territory so strange upon initial discovery because of how unusual/novel such terrain seems especially to those whose back hasn’t seen daylight for years. Take care of it (routine maintenance being the key) and remove unwanted hair whenever necessary.

Trim The Bushes

Start with trimming things down to a manageable length (we aren’t talking about rose bushes here) as not picking up a pair of scissors, clipper or razor will only make the next step more difficult & time-consuming. Without these tools this may fast become a hairy nightmare!

Before moving on, I cannot overstate this – you don’t want to start shaving without buzzing your puppy down first!

When in control utilize electric trimmers. One should also remember that if being unfamiliar with those prolonged buzzers; using some manoeuvring tips (such as keeping an upright posture) can help avoid unwanted rashes/bumps from developing on the skin after usage.

Always be careful around sensitive parts like your neck area

For an extra edge/oomph(as preferred by most men) then use clippers afterwards by starting at the widest point proceeding towards a narrower end whilst holding onto each part taut/pulled apart.

Steps Essential Tips
Start slow for precision Maintain breathing pace when attacking longer hairs
Avoid too much pressure When uncertain: Slow-mo is best-opted-for choice

Now let’s consider how one trims/shaves their back hair…

Choose Your Weapon

No two weapons against pesky back hair are created equal! It depends upon personal preference really but necessitates attention be focused upon prepping properly regardless which weapon-one uses!.

Razors come in different shapes and sizes:

  • Manual Razor – Most accessible.
  • Disposable Razors – More refined yet convenient.
  • Electric Shaver – Safest way to go.

Just know whichever form picked ensures changes stay subtle enough until accustomed (with continuous experimentation). Unexpected results suited and tailored according to skin can eventually become achieved with practice (and time)!

If in a hurry, then electric trimmers rule supreme.

Preparation

Hair doesn’t just come off leaving no scarring mark whatsoever. So you prepare yourselves before engaging the enemy!
Exfoliation should always be done with the help of a scrub so as to remove any dirt, grime or dead skin and soften hair follicles for shaving which makes removal all that sweeter/smoother.

Gels/foam lubricants (remember: purely personal choices) also count because this process helps immensely when it comes to razor movement over wet/unfufiled skins; helping lessening unintended nicks/cuts.

After preparing oneself thoroughly-

  1. Start from Top – Hold top handle provided..
  2. Move The Razor- Now slowly glide & move through hard-to-get regions.
  3. Maintaining Posture – Maintain good posture throughout the shave

Shaving Positions

Shower Shaving

Of course one could invest in shower mirrors which fall under three categories:

1 Simple compact mirror generally hung over showerhead
2 Fogless mirrors (to avoid pesky steam buildup)
3 Those whose suction cup tech allows them positioning wherever needed.

Why is there such emphasis on having showers before manscaping?

For starters heat generates dilation thusly causing pores/hair-follicle expansion enabling easy transfer/removal of unwanted hairs with fewer chances of ingrown hairs emerging later-on without maintenance/precautionary measures!. Also since water washes away surfacing bacteria around backensuring prepped-skin finally being free from infections/shaving hackles resulting redness/rashes after trimming/shaving!

Waxing seems like a rather painful way to get rid of excess body hair, but many men are advocates, primarily because their backs remain hairless for more extended periods. The thought of a full-on, once-in-a-while solution must seem mouth-watering to most.

Do It Yourself

DIY has never been so fun!

For best results, one should begin by exfoliating the skin on their back as this enhances that self-wax from sticking onto dead layers of skins thusly promoting better adherence with only hairs coming off (as intended).

A pair of steady hands is an unchanging factor but if unsure/doubtful leave things professional.

Gain some knowledge/take note whilst observing others doing it regarding:

  1. Temperature Setting – wax warmer
  2. Wax Installation Procedure.
    3: Proper ripping off technique

Professional Services

One need not be afraid/demoralized about seeking Waxing Professionals ‘Cos technically everyone wants a job well done!!!

The list below shows detailed steps involved in seeking such services:

Be prepared for fast-pacing salon protocols which are routine affairs here with loud pop-music blaring from different station corners amidst talking/beeping pagers keeping clients and technicians upbeat.

Now that we’ve covered all three approaches let’s learn how to maintain your smooth back like a pro.

Here are some expert tips and tricks to follow post-manscaping:

  • Make sure hair length is just right – whether freshly shaven or trimmed/maintaining growth rate; consistency wins!!
