Manscaping



 You think we all women have problem with unwanted body hair?
Think again.. You might never realize that nowadays more men is taking all off.. Yes all off.

Can you imagine getting a bikini wax alongside your woman? Neither can we. However, men have come a long way since the days of showing up to work in an unbuttoned button-down that revealed an army of hair fighting its way past the nape of their necks -- haven't they? While you likely won't go the Brazilian route, you might be surprised (or not) to hear that men are taking it off -- their body hair, that is.

Maybe it has something to do with the weather? Or to attract opposite sex? Or, maybe just curiosity? Whatever the motivation, men have already arrived at this point. Between waxing,shaving, electrolysis, tweezing, trimming, and laser hair removal, men of all ages, sizes, sexual orientations, ethnic backgrounds, and professions are getting rid of excess body hair.

 We're not advocating waxed legs or arms -- jeez, a dude should look like, well, a dude -- but we do advocate taking the time to do your homework to figure out what's best for you.

Waxing and sugaring

What is it? Waxing is a hair removal trend for men that involves spreading hot wax on to the desired area, and then applying a strip of cloth or muslin onto the wax, rubbing it and ripping off the strip in one fell swoop -- wax, hair, root, and all. Sugaring is similar to waxing, only it uses sugar paste (which usually consists of a mixture of sugar, lemon, water, and even citric acid and gum arabic) instead of wax and is a method of hair removal that goes as far back as ancient Egypt.

(According to USA Today, men are not only waxing their backs, but also their bikini lines. Yikes. The goal? Increased sex appeal and a "cleaner" feeling. Would you believe us if we told you some men are even waxing shapes into their pubic regions?)

Since some men might be embarrassed about getting waxed at a salon, there are at-home aestheticians who can perform this at home. There are even do-it-yourself waxing kits -- but unless you're a glutton for punishment, it's pretty hard to put yourself through such torture and it can get very messy.

If you opt for waxing, go to a professional. If you choose to get your genital area waxed, keep in mind that most spas and aestheticians simply wax the areas surrounding your crown jewels -- so only the regions around and above the base of the penis get the royal treatment.


Men are also booking appointments at salons or spas for eyebrow waxes. With guys like David Beckham boasting nicely shaped brows, it seems men aren't settling for less.

Guys, this really isn't about becoming a pretty-boy -- it's about not walking around with a unibrow. Makes sense. Don't aim for a perfectly arched eyebrow, but waxing is a good way to get rid of eyebrows that are out of control.

Ideal parts to wax: Eyebrows (unibrow), back of neck, back, chest, genital area, toes, and knuckles
Pain factor: 8/10
Bottom line: With repeated use, hair gradually becomes thinner because the roots are weakened, but the hair will grow back, albeit at longer intervals. So, if you want to lessen the hair that grows on your toes or chest without permanently abolishing it, this would be the ideal way to go.

Electrolysis

What is it? While electrolysis sounds more threatening, the premise behind this method is that a needle zaps the hair at its root and kills it. Electrolysis offers permanent results, but, of course, there is no guarantee and effectiveness varies from guy to guy, hair follicle to hair follicle. This procedure must be performed by a professional electrologist and requires weekly appointments for optimal results. The upside is that electrolysis weakens hairs at the root and eventually eliminates growth.

Ideal parts to zap: Eyebrows (unibrow), sporadic hairs on face or neck
Pain factor: 6/10
Bottom line: Since it's significantly more expensive and more time-consuming than waxing (it could take up to a year to eliminate body hair completely), save the electrolysis for your unibrow or other small patches of hair that you want to get rid of for good.

Laser treatments

What is it? Laser treatment involves a laser beam basically killing the hair follicles. Results depend on your skin pigmentation and the colour of your hair (dark hair absorbs the laser energy, making it easier to treat), so you will first need to find out if you are a good candidate for the procedure. 

While laser hair removal offers a permanent reduction in quality or quantity of hair. The total cost depends on the size of the desired body part, as well as factors like hair density and number of treatments required.

Laser hair removal requires several sessions and now its more affordable and it can be considered an investment, as you will never need to worry about hair removal in the desired area again. Just ask your woman how many times she's had to go for a wax and you likely have a pretty high grand total. Laser hair removal is especially popular for athletic men who feel that their body hair hinders their performance.

Ideal parts to laser: Back, unibrow, nape of neck
Pain factor:1/10 (feels like hot stone massage)
Bottom line: This is the mother of all hair removal methods in terms efficiency.

hair today...

Between the various hair removal trends for men, there is no reason for a guy to let his pubic area grow out of control or his unibrow to attract attention. You could always stick to shaving, but there are some areas that require more care and shaving can cause irritation and razor burn.
