Question

If I shave my chest, does the hair return thicker?

Community Answer

No - when the hair grows back it is shorter and stubbly at first, which causes it to look thicker.

Question

I want to know how low do I go? If I shave my chest, I have to shave my hairy stomach, too, right?

Community Answer

It would look weird to have a hairy stomach but no hair on your chest - so yes, you should shave the hair on your stomach as well.

Question

Which will be better for removing leg and chest hair, trimming or shaving?

Community Answer

Neither trimming or shaving is better. If you want to get rid of leg and chest hair properly you need a wax. That said, if your options were only trimming or shaving than shaving would be better.

Question

I have little hair in my chest area. If i regularly shave, can I get a good result?

Community Answer

Yes. Shaving regularly can give you good results. Apply moisturizing shaving cream, moisturizer or conditioner before shaving to reduce the risk of cuts and leave your skin soft and smooth. Rinse thoroughly after shaving.

Question

Why would my hair grow thicker on one side of my chest?

Community Answer

This can just be the result of your natural genetic hair growth pattern. I wouldn't worry too much about it. If it makes you uncomfortable, you could trim the thicker side.

Question

How to remove ingrown hairs on your chest?

Community Answer

Use a warm (not hot) compress on the ingrown hairs two or three times daily. Use a very gentle exfoliator on the area to remove dead skin cells. Do not use tweezers or a needle to lift out an ingrown hair that's embedded under the skin.

Question

Do open pores make you grow hair faster on your chest or beard?

Ellie Homewood

Community Answer

Open pores just mean you are more likely to get spots. After a warm shower, turn the temperature way more and stand under it for a minute to close the pores.

Waxing looks better and lasts longer, in my experience.
