06.06.2019

Are you a man and tired of shaving facial stubble and unwanted body hair every day? Then epilation is for you. With it, you can remove the hair from the root, which allows you to enjoy the smoothness of the skin for a period of 3 weeks to 2 years. There are about five such methods, each of them has its own characteristics and characteristics. We will try to get to know each of them in more detail in order of demand and popularity among the male population.

Why do men need hair removal?

Hair removal for men is an opportunity to increase their own attractiveness. Smooth skin without hair emphasizes the relief and muscles, making the appearance more aesthetic. Such a task is set by athletes and dancers - people of a creative profession, performing before the public in open outfits. Among other things, having studied the reviews of men about the procedure, we can draw conclusions about the reason for its implementation, this desire:

achieve smooth skin before a trip to the sea;
surprise a sexual partner;
get rid of excessive sweating;
improve hygiene;
get a youthful look.

Impact zones

The classification of male hair removal is carried out according to the methods of implementation and the localization of problem areas. So, hair in large quantities is present in men on the face, on the neck, back and chest, abdomen and armpits, in the groin area, on the legs.

Method 1: Wax

According to statistics, most often male hair removal is carried out with wax. Processing can be done independently at home or go to the salon for an appointment with a beautician. There is only one principle: placing a sticky wax mass on the problem area, and then removing it against hair growth. Wax is used for epilation:

Cold. Already applied to the material (bandage), ready for use. It is considered not so economical, provokes pain.
Hot. Requires preheating and the use of additional strips. It is applied to the problem area with a spatula, and then fixed with a bandage. Reduces discomfort due to high temperature.

The advantages of waxing include the speed of its implementation and obtaining results, minimal contraindications and complications, versatility (affects all types of hair with any skin). Suitable for face, armpits, back, chest, legs, groin.

Among the shortcomings are pain, a short period of saving results (up to 3 weeks). Manipulations are contraindicated in diabetes, viral infections, skin diseases and mechanical injuries in the treated area. After the procedure, the sensitivity increases, the skin turns red and swells.

Method 2: Photoepilation

Procedures of this kind are carried out only in the salon, with a course of 4 to 8 sessions. The indication for them is the presence of dark hair on white skin. The principle of operation of the technique is to generate light pulses that are absorbed by melanin, converted into heat and destroy the hair structure.

The advantages of photoepilation include the ability to eliminate hair for up to 2-3 years, painlessness, the ability to treat all areas of the face and body, and an affordable price.

The technique also has disadvantages: in this way, the epilation course is carried out with a break of 4 to 7 weeks between each procedure, which means that it is extended in time. In addition, light exposure is selective and helps to eliminate only dark hair.

Photoepilation requires preparation. Before the procedures, you can not sunbathe, and the length of the hair at the time of exposure should be 2 - 3 mm. After the procedure, burns, swelling, redness may appear on the skin. In rare cases, there is an increase in pigmentation.

Method 3: Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is an advanced method of photoepilation, it works on a similar principle and differs in the characteristics of the emitted light wave. There are several types of laser:

Ruby. Budget option, designed for surface impact. Removes dark hairs, provokes burns.
diode. Slow, but works well. Penetrates into the deep layers of the dermis, eliminates dark hairs.
alexandrite. Removes black and dark blond hair. Differs in processing speed and efficiency.
Neodymium. It differs from others in the principle of action. It is relevant when removing hair of any color, which is why it is in demand among blond men. The laser seals the vessels that feed the hairs, because of which they die within 1 to 2 weeks.

Men's laser hair removal is rarely used for a deep bikini; with its help, only pubic hairs are removed in the groin area. In addition, the procedure is prohibited when:

mechanical damage to the skin, viral infections;
individual intolerance to light radiation;
diabetes mellitus;
epilepsy;
tuberculosis;
oncology;
fever.

Laser hair removal eliminates hair for up to 2-3 years, due to the increased hormonal background, men's hair begins to grow earlier than the designated period. To achieve pronounced results, you need to take a course of 5-8 sessions.

Method 4: Shugaring

Sugar hair removal or shugaring is similar in principle to waxing. As an adhesive that eliminates hair, a mixture of water, sugar and lemon juice is used. Such a paste is natural, but no less effective. It pulls out hairs from the root, leaving the skin smooth for a month. Universal, applicable to any type of hair, in any area. After it, there are no complications, only bruises and slight reddening of the skin are noted. Contraindications - diabetes mellitus, damage or viral skin lesions, fever.

Purely technically, the removal of unwanted hair from the skin of the body in men and women is no different. But the motives for men to get rid of the vegetation on the body are most often completely different.

Moreover, more often than not, men have to overcome the resistance and condemnation of those who consider the removal of hair from the body to be reprehensible and unworthy.

So, what are the motives most often induce men to agree to hair removal:

as a rule, most often hair in the skin of the body is removed by those who have something to show: young people and older people who go in for sports and try to emphasize the relief of muscles;
hair removal in the intimate area makes the penis and scrotum visually larger, especially in the first time after the procedure, since the hair hides the base of the penis and it looks smaller compared to the testicles, which are given extra volume by lush vegetation;
men of any age who want to diversify their sex life;
those who consider skin care without excess vegetation easier, and the absence of hair more hygienic, want to get rid of such manifestations of excessive sweating as wet spots on the shirt in the armpits, on the back;
professional necessity: the higher the position, the higher the competition, therefore an attractive appearance and grooming also begin to matter;
men can also remove hair in case of constant irritation from a razor or shaving products, pustular skin diseases that interfere with a normal and clean shave.

Sugaring or hair removal with sugar paste suitable for those who are allergic to the components that make up the wax, or who are uncomfortable using hot wax due to its high temperature.
Waxing or waxing- a universal procedure with which many begin their acquaintance with depilation. Wax does an excellent job with coarse and thick body hair in men.
Using an electric epilator- This is a budget option, but painful, and not suitable for a number of areas of the body.
Hair removal with special creams it may well be used by men, since this is the least painful method of getting rid of unwanted vegetation, but it does not last long, for 5-6 days.

If women like to experiment and try hair removal with wax, then shugaring, then an epilator, then men often prefer to do wax depilation in the salon or invite a specialist to their home. The most experienced eventually master the skill of removing hair with wax strips, most often for the armpit area. Fortunately, now there are wax strips unisex or designed specifically for men.

Commonly used types

Epilation of the chest and back is good for those who:

likes to play with muscles;
compliance with professional requirements (artists, athletes, cooks);
observance of the rules of corporate culture, where the requirements for appearance are high;
prone to excessive sweating, especially in the summer.

Underarm epilation helps you look neater and reduces the chance of sweat odors and wet stains on your clothes.
Removal of facial hair (shaping the eyebrows, epilation of the cheeks, chin, upper lip) helps to correct the appearance.
Epilation of the intimate area adds confidence to a man in his irresistibility and serves for hygienic purposes.

For depilation of the skin of the chest, back, arms and legs in men, it is best to use warm wax with strips or hot wax. There is usually no need to anesthetize these areas.

Removal of unwanted hair in the bikini area can be of different depths. Often men order a bikini design or an intimate haircut.

Usually, Emla cream is used to anesthetize the procedure in an amount of 5 ml, if hair is removed only in the pubic area and the base of the penis, 10 ml, if it is planned to carry out total hair removal in the perineum, including in the crease between the buttocks.

An anesthetic cream is applied to the skin and covered with an airtight bandage. To do this, you can use the usual cling film, from which something like swimming trunks is formed.

The ends can be fixed with adhesive tape. The occlusive dressing is left on the skin for 15-30 minutes. The analgesic effect of the cream with this method of use lasts about an hour, which is quite enough for the procedure.

Men's epilation of intimate places can be carried out both with the removal of hair from the skin of the scrotum, and without it. In some cases, the hair on the skin of the testicles is cut short with a clipper. Hair in the intergluteal fold is removed at the request of the man.

Some men prefer to leave a patch of pubic hair, giving a certain outline. Hair there can be cut, or can be left in its original form. Some of the masters prefer to carry out the procedure for depilation of a deep bikini using a condom.

The rest simply ask the man to help them during the procedure. This assistance is especially relevant when removing hair from the scrotum, when you need to properly stretch the skin. Hair in the intimate area is always removed only with hot wax.

Contraindications

varicose veins at the site of the proposed procedure;
damage to the integrity of the skin at the site of depilation (abrasions, cuts, scratches);
the presence of inflammation on the skin, regardless of the cause that this inflammation could cause;
viral, fungal and bacterial skin diseases;
diabetes;
Allergy to wax components and cosmetics used during the procedure.

Preparation for the procedure

First you need to let the hair grow to such a length that it can be grabbed and pulled out, this is about 5-6 mm. It is better to sign up for the procedure in the late afternoon, since at this time the pain threshold is highest, and it is also possible to go home immediately, which reduces the risk of irritation from rubbing damaged skin on clothes.

If you plan to do depilation for the first time, then choose an experienced master, since the degree of pain of the procedure depends on the skills and abilities of the master. Each subsequent procedure will be less and less painful. A day before depilation, it is advisable to use a soft scrub to facilitate hair removal.

Skin care after hair removal

it is better to come to the procedure in soft cotton underwear that does not fit the body;
do the procedure in the evening to avoid rubbing the skin at the depilation site with clothes;
take a shower without using a washcloth.

In the first 6-10 hours after the procedure, do not wet the skin.

Within 3-5 days, you do not need to take a hot bath, visit a sauna or bath, as heat can increase the severity of inflammation after depilation. It is better to take a cool shower.

On day 5-6, you can start using a scrub or a special lotion against ingrown hairs.

How to reduce skin inflammation?

for skin treatment after the procedure, you can use Chlorhexidine, Actovegin, Solcoseryl, alcohol or hydrogen peroxide to reduce the severity of red dots and prevent the appearance of a pustular rash;
ready-made body cream with calendula, chamomile, aloe;
homemade soothing cream from a regular body cream or lotion, to which aloe juice from the window sill is added or tea tree oil, which can be bought at a pharmacy.

Consequences of improper skin care

the procedure itself is painful, and the pain can be both acute during the procedure itself, and slight sore after it is over for another 1-2 hours;
skin irritation in the form of red dots at the site of the removed hair, which can persist from several hours to several days after the procedure;
breaking off the hair at the exit from the mouth of the hair follicle (at the level of the skin) instead of removing it from the root occurs when the technique of the procedure is violated and gives rapid hair growth, often already on the second or third day after depilation;
abrasions and bruises occur in places with delicate thin skin, if the skin is not stretched and not fixed properly when removing hair;
ingrown hair if you do not use a scrub or a special lotion for skin care after depilation;
pustular rash at the site of hair removal.

The cost of depilation procedures for men is usually higher, since they have more hair, they are thicker and deeper in the skin. Hence, a larger amount of consumables for one procedure and a large investment of time.

You should also take into account the fact that in most cases the area of skin from which it is necessary to remove hair is much larger than in women.

For example, prices for intimate depilation for men may be higher due to the need to remove hair from the buttocks as well. In women, depilation of the buttocks is extremely rare.

Can you get rid of it forever?

At first, when you just switch from constant shaving to waxing, you feel relief. But over time, waxing becomes a routine, so many begin to be interested in ways to radically remove hair, if not for life, then at least for years.

Currently, hair removal for men has ceased to be an outlandish procedure. As employees of some salons say, men among all clients who come for hardware hair removal procedures are about 40%.

In addition to the obvious convenience, there are several more reasons why men choose ways to permanently get rid of unwanted hair:

discomfort from ingrown hairs;
long-lasting irritation on the skin after waxing;
discomfort from the need to grow hair to the desired length for the next procedure;
allergic to wax or waxing cosmetics.

Men's hair removal may differ from women's in the modes of devices used and the number of procedures required to completely get rid of hair. This is due to the fact that the skin of a man is thicker, and hair follicles, as a rule, lie at a greater depth.

Elos laser impact

The technology is probably better than others for men, since the combination of laser exposure with exposure to electromagnetic waves gives the most pronounced effect on a relatively large depth of the skin, without damaging its upper layers. Photoepilation in men is also in demand for its ability to increase the synthesis of collagen and elastin in the skin at the same time as hair removal and thus help prolong the youthfulness of the skin.

Most popular among men. Laser epilation is performed on the back, hair is removed in the groin area, and unwanted vegetation is removed from the face and neck. One of the most modern methods of hair removal at the moment is Qool hair removal for men.

Also, this method is called "cold laser hair removal" because during the action of the laser on the hair, the skin does not heat up and is not damaged. Accordingly, there is less pain, a good effect of removing light, gray and vellus hair. Cool-epilation is carried out on any of the areas of the body. The effectiveness of procedures in men is often higher than in women. This is due to the fact that men have coarser and darker hair. And such hair is exposed to much stronger.

Epilation of the testicles and the perineal area, the face can be painful, so it will not be superfluous to use painkillers before the procedure.

If laser hair removal of the face is to be performed, then the anesthetic drug is applied to the skin only in those areas where hair removal is planned, for example, on the skin around the eyebrows or above the upper lip in the mustache area.

Alexandrite laser has gained immense popularity among cosmetologists around the world. You can read all about this in the article.

In addition to laser hair removal, which has become very popular over the past few years, many photoepilation systems have appeared in the arsenal of modern cosmetologists. Which is better: laser hair removal or photoepilation? Go and find out.

permanent hair removal

Contraindications to this procedure include:

fresh tan, especially if the intensity of tanning is significant;
peelings, microdermabrasion and other traumatic procedures for the skin less than 3 weeks before epilation;
taking drugs that increase the sensitivity of the skin to light;
the presence of vellus, very light or gray hair;
epilepsy;
oncology;
skin rash;
psoriasis, neurodermatitis;
the presence of connective tissue diseases, blood diseases, autoimmune processes in the body;
diseases of the cardiovascular system;
diabetes.

For Elos hair removal, there are additional contraindications such as:

wearing a hearing aid and a pacemaker;
the presence of metal pins, knitting needles, piercing at the site of the procedure.

Training

If you have started to do epilation, then pulling out or plucking your hair is no longer possible in any case, since injury to the hair follicle can provoke compensatory hair growth and reduce the effect of the procedure to zero.

Two weeks before the procedure, you should start using sunscreen and reduce your sun exposure as much as possible. This rule applies to any type of permanent hair removal, as dark skin color significantly reduces the effect of the procedure and increases the risk of side effects such as pigmentation.

A day or two before the procedure, you need to shave off the hair in the place of the intended epilation.

Men's skin care after the procedure

sunscreen must be used for two weeks;
two to three weeks after the procedure, it is worth refraining from enzyme peels, the use of scrubs, aggressive cosmetics with alcohol;
during the day, do not rub the skin at the epilation site, take a hot bath, a cool shower is recommended;
for a week it is better to exclude hard physical labor and sports, as excessive sweating can provoke the appearance of a pustular rash;
the skin after the procedure within one or two days must be treated with panthenol or other healing agent recommended by the doctor.

Consequences of permanent hair removal

pain during hair removal and some time after the procedure;
burns due to improper selection of the device mode;
pustular rash;
the appearance of foci of pigmentation on the skin;
recurrence of herpes as a reaction to skin damage.

What is the difference between the hair removal procedure in the salon for men and women:

usually, if a man is booked for hair removal, then before the procedure there is a sufficient margin of time so that the clients do not meet each other, one after the procedure, the other having come to the salon by their own time;
salon employees are specifically instructed not to announce the names of the procedures for which the client comes in the salon lobby or at the reception;
salon employees do not consider the removal of unwanted hair from men something reprehensible simply because in the beauty industry, self-care is a prerequisite for attractiveness for both women and men.

Hair removal prices for men are now the same in most salons as for women. This is due to the increasing competition between beauty salons, because they are interested in attracting male clients with both pleasant prices and all kinds of discounts and promotions.

For some people, back hair is a fairly common occurrence. However, not everyone thinks why they arise.

There is an opinion that before all people the body was covered with wool. This provided complete protection from the cold. However, weather changes caused hair follicles to fall out. There is also an opinion that the more vegetation a man has on his body, the less he is prone to fullness.

Root causes of manifestation

Hair on the back is not at all uncommon for the male. There is an opinion that these are the remains of wool that a person got from the period of evolution from monkeys. Then such a hairline was of great value. However, over time, it mainly turned into a rudiment, and eventually lost its practical use.

Today it is believed that the presence of hair in certain areas of the body indicates an excess of male sex hormones. In fact, this phenomenon does not pose a threat to health. Sometimes hair on the back and the whole body is observed in newborns. This is quite normal. Indeed, even in the womb, the child's body is covered with lanugo - this is "embryonic" hair. Over time, they are replaced by thin, almost transparent and invisible to the naked eye.

But sometimes "lanugo" simply does not have time to change. Then it remains on certain parts of the body. It usually happens in premature babies. Although in such cases they do not speak of a violation of the norm. After all, the dark "fluff" is erased in two to three weeks.

Scientific explanations

Scientists are looking for an explanation of why hair grows on the back. Some believe that this is hereditary, that is, distant echoes of evolution. Others believe that this phenomenon signals an increased level of testosterone. This androgenic hormone is responsible for a decrease in the timbre of the voice, an increase in muscle mass, an increase in facial and body hair, an increase in sweating, and a number of other nuances.

But hair on the back is sometimes a definite symptom that signals hypertrichosis or hirsutism. The latter ailment manifests itself only in women. Hypertrichosis in this regard is illegible. Although more often this disease occurs in men. There are various factors leading to this:

traumatic brain injury, fungal skin lesions;
systematic stress, nervous exhaustion;
taking medications;
damage to the structure of the epithelium;
oncological disease.

Of course, only an endocrinologist or dermatologist can diagnose a specific ailment. Currently, there is no single scheme for the treatment of pathology. However, it is never complete without a certain cosmetic complex.

In addition, there is such an ailment as atavism. Then a person begins to show signs that are unique to monkeys. That is, wool is growing, designed to protect against the cold. Today such a phenomenon is a rarity. However, it still occurs.

Some believe that back hair is beneficial to some extent. And there is some truth in this. After all, for example, the hair in the groin area, as well as the armpits, provide protection for the lymph nodes. They retain heat for a long time, helping the body stay healthy. Men are less susceptible to cold than women. And the hair of the stronger sex is able to retain a special substance that is released with sweat and attracts women.

It is also worth noting that hair in the hot season provides good cooling to the body. They retain moisture. People with more hair on their bodies are less likely to suffer from heat stroke.

Scientists have proven that by the location of the hair follicles directly on the back, one can determine which ailments a person is most susceptible to. So, in the upper back, hair provides protection for the respiratory system, in the middle - excretory, in the lower - digestive.

In any case, excess hair needs additional care. After all, the pores get clogged quickly. As a result, irritation occurs, as well as an unpleasant odor. Therefore, you should use daily hygiene products and, of course, a washcloth to wash your back, covered with hair. In summer, it is advisable to take a shower several times during the day. Proper hygiene will improve the condition of the skin. Often this results in less hair in unwanted areas.

In many men, hair grows not only on the chest and legs, but also on the back. Of course, this phenomenon is not observed in everyone, but only in some representatives of the stronger sex. What explains this and how to understand if this is a sign of any disease?

Why men grow hair on their backs

There can be several reasons for the phenomenon, and today we will tell you about them:

Elevated levels of androgen hormones. This hormone stimulates the growth of vegetation on the back. Men have much more testosterone, which explains why back hair in women is a very rare phenomenon. Androgens affect hair follicles (receptors), which are able to recognize and bind to androgens. When they begin to circulate, increased hair growth is observed.

Medicines and diseases. Certain medications and medical procedures, as well as medical conditions, can affect the growth of back hair. Chemotherapy, blood thinners, antidepressants can cause increased hair growth as a side effect.

Hypertrichosis. This is one of the main causes of vegetation on the back. Hypertrichosis is a condition in which the density and length of the hair differ. In this case, hair may appear on other parts of the body. The appearance of the problem is associated with genetic anomalies that are inherited from parents. The hair follicles are distributed incorrectly, but this condition does not affect the state of health in any way.

Hirsutism. Why do men grow hair on their backs? It could also be due to hirsutism. This condition is characterized by elevated androgen levels. Hair follicles react to androgens, which is what provokes increased hair growth on the back. Unlike hypertrichosis, hirsutism is a potentially dangerous condition, as androgens can negatively affect the body. This condition can lead to cancer in the future.

How to remove back hair

Not all men like vegetation on their backs. First of all, the body constantly itches and sweats, itching and irritation may appear. If you cannot accept this, we recommend that you get rid of your hair as soon as possible. Below we have presented several solutions:

Razor. The easiest and fastest way is to remove vegetation with a razor. You can do it yourself in front of a mirror or ask someone close to you to shave so as not to get hurt. Apply shaving cream to the area of the body and shave off the hair. The disadvantage of this method is that after a few days the hairs will begin to appear again.

Removal with wax or sugar (sugaring). These methods are more effective, but in this case you will have to visit a beauty salon. Your skin will be smeared with a magic mixture, which quickly hardens and the master rips it off along with your hair. The advantage of the procedure is that the hair will not grow for several weeks, but the disadvantage is that you will be very hurt, your back will turn red.

Laser removal. This technique is very effective and the result will delight you for several years. You will need to undergo a course of procedures, the price of each of them is quite high. The procedure takes place without pain, but it cannot be done for those who have light-colored hair, since the laser simply does not perceive them.

Electrolysis. It is also a very effective method, just like a laser. The difference is that due to electrolysis, both light and dark hair are removed. The disadvantage is the high price.

Creams. In stores, you can find many creams that quickly and easily eliminate vegetation. You just need to lubricate your back with it and remove the cream after the time specified in the instructions. The disadvantage of the remedy is that the effect will please only 1-2 weeks.

If you suspect that increased back hair is related to health problems, you need to see a specialist as soon as possible. Only after carrying out the necessary analyzes, you can understand what is the cause of the problem.

In today's world, many consider back hair to be unattractive (or at least unfashionable). Luckily, getting rid of them is pretty easy. There are many options - both fairly cheap and painless (but short-term), and more expensive and painful (but they last for a long time). In this article, you will learn how you can remove back hair, so you can decide which option is right for you.

Steps

Hair removal with an assistant

This method of hair removal is quite simple and painless. It is suitable for times when you need to get rid of hair quickly. You will need an assistant, because otherwise it will be difficult to process all the areas on the back. If you don't have an assistant, try the other methods described in this article.

Trim hair that is too thick or long. If you have thick hair on your back, it can clog your razor. Trim them first to make it easier to shave off the hairs.

There are several ways to shorten your hair. If you have an assistant, he can do this with scissors and a comb, or with a trimmer with a special nozzle.

Scrub your skin. Have an assistant rub your back. You can use a wet shower brush, a soft scrub or a pumice stone - take your pick. This will clean the skin, remove dead scales and prepare the skin for shaving.

If you have an electric trimmer, trim your hair with it first. The trimmer cannot shave hair like a razor, but it can quickly remove a large amount of hair. If you have a trimmer with attachments, have an assistant run it over your back and remove most of the hair.
- No need to try to cut the hair at the root - just remove the maximum amount of length. You will still need a razor later, but if your hair is shorter, it will be easier for you to shave it.
Apply shaving gel or cream to your skin. Have a helper apply your usual product in a thin layer all over your back. For the back, the same product that you use for the face is suitable.
- Remember that you will need more product than with a normal shave. If the product runs out, buy another jar so that it is definitely enough.
Shave your hair. Have an assistant shave your back. It is best to do this near the sink so that the assistant can wash the hair off the razor under water. Ask an assistant to use more shaving cream if needed.

Take a shower if you like. In the shower, you can wash off the hairs, but do it not necessary. You might enjoy showering with a smooth back, especially if the skin on your back hasn't been this smooth in a long time.

Dry your skin. Pat the skin on your back with a clean towel. Important blot, but not rub. Friction will cause irritation on clean, vulnerable skin.
- To keep skin smooth and soft, apply an unscented moisturizer to your back. Do not use perfumed products - chemicals can irritate the skin after shaving, especially if the assistant slightly damaged the skin during shaving.
1. Squeeze a little cream onto your hand or onto a long-handled brush. Make sure you can reach all areas on your back. If you don't have a brush, you may need the help of another person.
  
  Spread the cream evenly over your back. Make sure that the cream is distributed throughout the hair. If you can't reach the middle of your back, ask someone to help you. Do not rub the cream into the skin with force - it is enough to apply it with light movements.
  - Wash your hands. The cream may cause irritation when it dries. In addition, it will remove hair on other parts of the body, if it gets there.
2. Leave the cream on the skin. Keep the cream on the skin according to the instructions - it says how long to wait. It usually takes 3-6 minutes for the cream to work.
  - Then wipe off a small amount of cream with a damp cloth or towel. If the hair does not wash out, wait a few more minutes.
3. Remove hair. If the hair is easy to wash out, wipe off the cream from the entire back. If you can't reach the middle of your back, ask someone to help you.
  
  Rinse off the rest of the cream in the shower. The shower will wash away the cream and hair residue. You can simply wipe off the cream with a towel, but there is a risk of missing some areas and leaving the cream on the skin for longer than it should be.
Waxing

Waxing is quite painful, but the effect of it lasts for a long time (4-6 weeks). Only hair can be waxed no shorter than 6 mm. Ask someone to help you, because you won't be able to wax your back hair on your own.
1. Prepare the wax for work in accordance with the instructions. As a rule, the wax must first be heated - for this, use a microwave oven. Wax should be warm, but should not burn the skin. Different manufacturers may have slightly different instructions.
  
  Cover a small area of skin with wax. Use a special spatula or stick to spread the wax over the skin. Apply wax according to hair growth. Wax small areas (no more than a couple of centimeters).
  
  Lay the depilatory strip over the wax and press against the skin. While the wax is hot, press the strip against it. Leave for a couple of seconds for it to stick to the wax.
  
  With a sharp movement, tear off the strip from the skin. Pull the strip against the direction of hair growth, i.e. in opposite side of the wax. Tear off the strip in a quick and smooth motion. Do not try to tear it off slowly - it will hurt more.
  - To make it less painful, do not pull the strip up or to the side. It must be torn off parallel to the skin and as quickly as possible.
2. Continue to apply wax and press the depilatory strip against it. Do this until all hair is removed. You will have to do this many times. Take breaks if it hurts a lot. After the first time, depilation will not be so painful.
  - If you are in a lot of pain, stop. Burns and injuries are worse than the lack of smooth skin on the back.
3. When you're done, wash your back with antibacterial soap. After depilation, the back will be red and irritated. In this state, it is more susceptible to infections. To reduce the risk of infection, wash your skin with antibacterial soap. It is enough just to take a shower with a special tool.
Hair removal with a razor

If you need to shave hair from your back without an assistant, use a back razor. This razor has a special handle that allows you to reach your back. There are both electric and regular back razors.
1. Find the right place. With a special razor, you can reach all areas on your back, but you may miss some areas if you can't see what you're doing. Find a bathroom with a large mirror. Take a small mirror so you can see yourself from behind.
  
  Look into a small mirror to see what you are doing. Take a razor in one hand and a small mirror in the other. Position it so that you can see the reflection of your back in it in a large mirror.
  
  Shave your upper back. Pull out the razor handle. Raise your arm above your head, bend at the elbow and bring the razor to the middle of your back. Shave the skin in small strokes from the middle of the back to the shoulders. Try to shave your hair in equal sections.
  
  Shave your lower back. Bend the razor handle if possible. Rotate your arm so that you can reach the side of your lower back. You will probably have to change the position of the small mirror in order to see everything.
2. Make sure you shave off all your hair. Since only part of the back will be visible in a small mirror, it will be difficult for you to shave off all the hair without missing some section. Take a close look at your back. Don't be surprised if there's hair left somewhere.
  - At the end, take a shower to wash off your hair. Pat your back dry with a towel. You can apply an unscented moisturizer to keep your skin soft and smooth.
