Pluck Off: Removing Hair From Unwanted Places




There’s nothing wrong with being a hairy man, but there are some places where hair is more welcome than others. If you’re sprouting hair in unwanted places and need it gone, don’t just settle for a razor or scissors. There are much more reliable methods of eradicating that body hair, as discussed below.

Tackling Nose Hair

Nose hair can unsightly and annoying. It’s generally something that sets in later on in life, but some guys start getting it early. Fortunately, there are now specialist nose hair trimmers that can make getting rid of these hairs easy. There are lots on the market and you may want to click here to read a few reviews before choosing one. Such trimmers can also work on ear hair.

Beating Back Bushy Brows

Eyebrow plucking may not seem very masculine, and in most cases you’re best leaving those brows alone, but if they’ve started to grow and resembled sentient furry animals, it might be time to swallow your pride and get the tweezers out. Find the hairs that are unreasonably long and eradicate them. Don’t go too crazy – drawing on your eyebrows is not a good look, especially for a dude.

Taming A Hairy Back

Excessive body hair on places such as the back can be hard to get rid of. You can’t access it to shave it – not that you’d want to as this would just cause it to grow back more coarsely.

One option is to get somebody else to wax that area. You can buy your own waxing kit, or get it waxed off by a professional. The latter will cost you more but will ensure that every last hair is stripped off.

Laser hair removal is a more extreme but effective method of removing hair. Unlike waxing, this method also damages the hair follicles. For a hairy back, or annoying rogue hair somewhere else, this can be worthwhile.

There are all kinds of hair-removal creams that you can also experiment with. There are even some natural remedies too for those that want to steer clear of chemicals such as papaya and turmeric powder mixed with moisturising cream.

Electrolysis Is The Only Permanent Solution

Most hair removal methods aren’t 100% permanent. Plucking and waxing may remove hair for a couple months, but the hair will then start to sprout back. Laser hair removal can last up to a year, sometimes more, but even then hair will start to grow back.

Electrolysis is generally regarded as the most enduring form of hair removal. This method uses chemical or heat energy to directly destroy the follicles. You can get this method done by a professional or buy your own DIY kit. It is considered the most painful method and it is not cheap, but if you never want hair growing in a certain region ever again, this may be your best bet.
