Can you permanently remove chest hair?

If you’re determined to remove chest hair permanently, then laser treatments offer this possibility though it can be an expensive option requiring multiple salon appointments. The chest is also a relatively large area increasing cost and time. Braun’s Silk-Expert Pro IPL is suitable for use for men or women and reduces the appearance of hair over time with intense pulsed light.

Does shaving chest hair make it grow back thicker?

It’s a common misconception that shaving makes hair thicker. As hair regrows you see the rough base of the hair first and not its softer tip. Hair can also look darker as it grows back as it hasn’t been exposed to light. These factors combined are why you may think your hair is thicker or darker after removing chest hair. Given time to grow back, chest hair’s appearance is the same as before shaving.

How often do I need to shave my chest?

It depends on how quickly your hair tends to grow but as a general rule, you’d expect to shave around every five days if you want to keep your chest hair looking trimmed and tidy.

Is shaving your chest with a razor a good idea?

We don’t suggest using a traditional razor to remove chest hair, as it’s got a high chance of getting stuck in this long hair area. If you do so we’d suggest trimming down the excess length first with a Braun MGK7221 all-in-one trimmer – it is powered by an adaptive motor which automatically adjusts the power of the trimmer and provides you an effortless trim.

How to shave and trim chest hair

Step 1: Trimming chest hair

Did you reach out for your razor directly? Well, hold on! When it comes to shaving chest hair, the secret to achieving great results is to deal with the longer lengths of hair. Here, trimming your chest hair becomes an important step. It enables you to get rid of the uneven fuzz and gives you the perfect clean look all-over!

While trimming longer body hair, it is best to opt for a body hair trimmer with a comb length of 2 or 3mm. TheBraun MGK7221 All-in-one Trimmer is the best trimmer for body shaving. It is powered by adaptive motor which automatically adjusts the power of the trimmer and provides you an effortless trim. It has lifetime sharp blades and 13 length settings that best suit your body grooming needs. Its German design provides ultimate styling precision and a total of 100 minutes of trimming after only one hour of charging. Once you’ve got your hands on the right chest hair trimmers and attachment for the job, you can clean up any overgrowth without having to constantly pull hair out of the blades.

Step 2: Shower Before Shaving

Before removing the trimmer attachment and shaving body hair from your chest, be sure to take a warm shower or bath. This is a great tip for chest hair removal as it softens hair that can be wiry.

Warm water works to open up your hair follicles and clears away any build-up of dead skin or oils which can cause your razor blade or shaver to catch. After hopping out of the shower, run a comb through your chest hair to free up any knots you might spot.

Step 3: Shave Chest Hair

Once you’ve trimmed and showered, it’s time to lather up with your shaving gel of choice. This will hydrate your hair and let your shaver or trimmer glide over your skin and reduce the chance of annoying chest ingrown hairs. One more thing to check is that your blades aren’t dull – we recommend replacing Braun razor heads every 18 months. Our preferred method for shaving chest hair is to start on the outer hair and work your way inwards to be sure you don’t miss any spots. Try out the Braun XT5100 Electric Trimmer which is waterproof and has a 4D-Blade technology that gives you a close shave even in the shower. It also has a SkinGuard comb which protects your skin and delivers a gentle shaving experience. It is designed with stainless steel 4D-Blades which remain sharp for up to 6 months.

If your chest hair meets more growth on to your stomach, then you may find that you want to tidy up the lower hair too. Otherwise, you may end up with a noticeable dividing line between your chest and stomach hair.
