Fact: A man's hair is
the first thing many women notice. You've got to have a stylish coif... but the
most expensive haircut in the world won't help you if you've got weed-like hair
sprouting out the collar of your shirt or waving at her through your ears and
nose.
Hair removal doesn't end at shaving your face. Now that summer's
here and your body's on display, it's about time you get rid of all that
unsightly hair.
Here are some of the hair-prone areas you should pay
special attention to.
Chest
When you're going shirtless at the beach this summer,
you need to make sure that your chest hair is under control. The amount, pattern
and coarseness of chest hair varies from man to man, but just as with any other
type of body hair, it does have the tendency to grow a little out of control if
not maintained. So, if you plan on rocking that pool party in style this summer,
I recommend you clean up the grizzly mess under your shirt. You'll look neat and
clean, and you'll be able to show off those muscles you spent all winter working
on.
How to get rid of it: It's your prerogative to go bald --
bodybuilder-style -- or to keep what Mother Nature gave you. If you're getting
rid of it all, try waxing or using the Bodygroom. If you've decided to take this
route for the long-haul, electrolysis is another option. Shaving is a quick and
convenient option for removing your chest hair; Philips' Norelco Bodygroom
groomer is a great way to get the job done.
If you're solely interested
in cleaning up your natural look, you can (carefully) use a pair of small
scissors. Or if you're natural look is a little shaggier than most men, use a
pair of clippers or, the Bodygroom trim function.
Neck Up
The back of your neck, your ears and your nose should
be the No. 1 priority, since these are the parts that are prominently on
display. If you've got hair growing on the back of your neck -- whether it's
dark and coarse or light and fine -- it should be removed. Your haircut will
look sleeker and it won't look like your neck hair is an extension of a
horrendously hairy bac.
As for your ears and nose, you need to upkeep
the hair in these areas on a regular basis. Make it a part of your daily routine
to check these parts out in the mirror every morning. If you see any hair
peeking out, trim it.
How to get
rid of it: For your ears and nose, you can use the
specialized trimmers that are made specifically for this problem, like the
Philips Norelco MultiTrim. Regarding the back of your neck, you've got a few
options: You can go the traditional route with a razor and some shaving cream or
you can use an electric razor. And for the really brave men, waxing is an
option.
Back
A hairy back is never okay. This is one place that
should be bald -- always. It's a non-negotiable grooming tip. This rule also
extends to the shoulder area.
How to get rid of it: Unless you
have someone to shave your back every few days, you're going to have to turn to
waxing for this problem. If you have the cash to invest in eliminating your back
hair forever, electrolysis is the ultimate choice.
Groin
What to do with hair in the groin region is a
personal call. While there's no set rule on how you should be maintaining the
hair here, it's advised that you keep it nice and neat -- if you want to keep it
at all. It's easy to overlook this body part while you're grooming for the
summer because she can't see it -- at least not right away. But why not give
your nether region a trim (or a complete shave) for when she does? Trust me,
she'll notice and appreciate the effort you've put into grooming
yourself.
How to get rid of it:
Shave it. Use a groomer like the Bodygroom that gives
you the option of going hairless or just giving the area a little clean-up.
Remember: This is an area you're going to have to maintain on a regular basis
since the hair will grow back almost immediately.
