Body hair

[Trailblazer]

I'm only 17 years old but i'm quite hairy. I have hairy legs and hairy hands, new hair is growing on my hands, stomack and breast, also at the sides between back and stomack. It makes me feel uncomfortable and lowers my confidence. I feel like going ugly. I do a lot of sports and i would like to have atletic body. I used with the hair on my legs and on hands, but hair upper elbow and on stomack is to much for me, could anybody help or advice something.

Unless you have back hair, it's nothing to be too self-conscious about. Back hair is not only the worst, but it's impossible to shave yourself.

What you should do is get a beard trimmer and spend 5-10 minutes a couple times a month trimming your body hair where you hate it. It's what I do with my chest/stomach, and it makes it look so much better.

buy some clippers, and shave all unwanted hair with a number 1, or 0.5 clipper head

Hair is a sign of masculinity. Don't shave it off. It's what differentiates you from women.

I'm sure this is coming from a man who isn't covered in hair. A decent amount of chest/stomach hair is fine. When it's burly as hell and when you have hair all over your back and shoulders, that's a whole other matter, and many girls are repulsed by it. It may be masculine, but so is a balding head and a nice beer belly.

and btw using a clippers isn't shaving, it's trimming. You'll still have hair, just not as long.

DUDE I went home to my mom's house for independence day (usa!) and i'd been thinking about shaving my chest and looking around casually for a good tool to do this with because i'm a fairly hairy guy. Luckily it's mostly on my chest and legs and not my back so it's not TOO big a deal.

So I'm in the bathroom yesterday and see that my brother has a bottle of Nair for Men. Ka-ching.

I try it... it's not perfect but most of the hair breaks right off. I follow it up with my Mach 3 razor blade... and DAMN. All that hair on my chest made me look smaller and fatter. I didn't know i was so 'ripped.' I'm astounded really. I can see my upper four abs and it's beautiful if i flex my chest and abs and see them protruding out.

Now i'm so doubly excited to keep doing this slow recomp i'm doing being able to SEE THE RESULTS rather than just trusting the calipers saying the fat is vanishing.

I look so much better without the hair. All that hard work has been hidden from view. I really had no idea. I'm about about 13% body fat now and my plan had been 10% but really i think 13% is really nice and now that i SEE PLAIN AS DAY the results, 10% and abs fully showing isn't that that damn important because it already looks way better than most people... and the most important part is that okay so the bodyfat isn't THAT low but i had built up all that muscle underneath it too so it STILL pushes through.

So even when i hit 10% or wherever i end up deciding to stop and go back into more of a bulk mode i don't have to freak out so much about putting some of the fat back on because it's going to take quite a bit before i would start looking bad again.

Anyway i'm not bragging or anything... i'm just really excited and i think if you're hairy you should at least TRY it because in my case it made me look much better when i was really expecting to just look like a little boy... but i guess it depends on just how much muscle you have under that hair, your body fat, and how much hair there really is.

Clippers with a number is the answer for thick hair, shaving it only causes more trouble.

And there's nothing wrong with being a hairy beast, if you like it.
