Few people on Earth know how to truly delight in a shaggy back, and even staunch naturists don’t always appreciate the sight of a man in a tight-fitting bathing suit with large swaths of pubic hair poking out between his thighs. Similarly, a single brow is not considered attractive in most members of the male species, and hairy nostrils are not a pretty sight either.

It is estimated that about one in three men regularly sheds hair on their back, chest, legs, or pubic regions.

So what to do? Well, real men, and by that we mean the metrosexual type of man, who is not afraid to wear a pinky ring or sometimes apply a fake tan, swear that male waxing is the way to go. Also known as “maxing,” male waxing isn’t just for the genitals. In fact, it’s arguably the best way to make hairless shaggy chest, mono-brow two, and shaggy back a thing of the past.

Why Wax?

Alright guys, let’s not go crazy here. While you can wax practically any part of your body where there is hair, neither the inside of the ears or the nose (yikes!) Is recommended, unless done by a professional. And leave those lashes alone!

It is estimated that about one in three men regularly shed hair on their back, chest, legs, or pubic regions, and that nine out of ten women find the hair on the back a little, say, less attractive. With that said, don’t just grab the nearest razor and dig around. For the vast majority of phobic follicles, waxing is infinitely preferable to shaving, creaming, or waxing. The reasons include:

* The areas without hair, thanks to waxing, remain that way for up to eight weeks, depending on the person, and the hair usually grows back infinitely smoother and less rough. This is because the hair is removed at the root, rather than shaved, where only the surface of the hair is removed.

* The wax used also acts as an exfoliator, leaving the skin significantly smoother. This is because it removes all the dead cells from the top layer of the skin and reveals smoother, peachy skin instead.

* Men who wax find that, unlike razors, there is no telltale stubble the next day.

* Some men find that razors and depilatory creams act as irritants to the skin, resulting in a nasty rash, cuts or other damage, or just a bad smell. Waxing is gentler, gentler, and smells great!

* Waxing makes your muscles look bigger and better defined, it also allows you to tan in areas where previously the jungle was too dense for the sun to shine …

Hair-free and hassle-free: salon waxing

For wax to work, it must be done correctly. This means visiting a cosmetologist or waxer who knows what they are doing, or learning how to do it yourself with a homemade waxing kit.

By far the easiest way to get rid of unwanted hair, in-salon waxing is suitable for virtually every part of the body where hair is prolific, although it can be time-consuming and expensive. However, before you book an appointment, make sure the salon accepts both male and female clients, or you may lose your hair faster than you can say “Shave me.”

The salon hair removal method is simple: warm wax is applied to the parts of the skin where you want to remove hair, in the direction of hair growth. Then wax is poured into a specific area, left briefly, and then removed in the opposite direction, with the help of a muslin cloth or another piece of cloth. Quick, easy, and only briefly painful! Most salons offer several different types of male waxing packages, including:

brazilian wax

If you can’t understand this, these three words should help: back, sack, and crack. Also known as Boyzilian or Guyzilian, it can transform even the hairiest of apes into a tough, soft yet graceful Adonis. All hair is completely removed, except for a small “landing strip” in the pubic area. It hurts, but no more than removing a large old band-aid from a furry patch of skin.

Hollywood wax

As in the Brazilian, with this form of male genital hair removal practically all pubic hair is removed, including the runway, leaving you as peachy as the day you were born …

Back wax

Some men complain of mild irritation for a few days, so this may not be a great idea if you have to wear a tight suit in a sweltering boardroom right after.

Chest wax

Pulling hair in the opposite direction of growth achieves the best results, and it can also be very painful. Be prepared for little red bumps the next day, so if you have a hot date, you may want to put it off until the middle of the week. And if you find out that your date actually prefers luxurious chest hair sticking out of your shirt, you’re out of luck.

Facial wax

It is not what you might think. It is not recommended to wax the beard or the scalp, this is mainly for the eyebrows, the area of ​​the nostrils, the nape of the neck and the outside of the ears. It is also good for getting rid of loose hair from the face, much better than plucking them.

Keep in mind that there are many DIY waxing kits on the market today, so ask around to find one that really works. Home waxing can make sense if you want to remove hair from your legs or parts of your face. But if you want a Brazilian or something even more, it is better to visit a salon than to try it yourself.

Advice

* Stay out of the sun and avoid the ocean or pool for at least a full 24 hours before waxing.

* Hair approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch long is the perfect length to be plucked. If you’ve never cut your pubic hair before, you may want to cut it to this length before visiting a salon, so get out those garden shears!

* The only clothing required for male genital hair removal is a pair of socks, in case your toes get cold. Underwear and shirts can be damaged by wax, so it is best to remove them. If you are the type that is easily embarrassed, you will be offered a cloth to cover the parts that are not going to be waxed.

* Make sure you are the right type of candidate for hair removal before diving in. If you are taking certain acne medications, like Accutane, for example, the skin may become weak and may actually peel off when you wax. Similarly, people who have diabetes or other conditions, such as varicose veins, may want to avoid waxing, as they are more prone to infection as a result.

* If you are a virgin with wax, you should know that hair regrowth can be very itchy, although the more often you wax, the less noticeable this common side effect will become. Also, be prepared for a little pain and discomfort, but remember, there is no pain, there is no gain.

Waxing isn’t for everyone, and after reading this, you might find that being a furry bastard really suits you after all. Some men prefer a simpler DIY routine and invest in a razor or electric razor, which can also produce a classy effect. Whatever you choose, just be sure to follow your instincts, although a furry gut isn’t the idea of ​​everyone having a good time either!
