If you have unwanted hair on your chest, you have several options to reduce or completely remove it. You can simply trim your hair into a manageable shape, or remove all of your chest hair. Your options include home or professional hair removal, although most home treatments are not very long lasting. If you are looking for more permanent hair removal, talk to a dermatologist to discuss your options to forever clear your chest of unwanted hair.
Step 1
Trim the hair on your chest to keep it short and under control. If you like having some hair on your chest and don't want to go completely hairless, cutting your chest hair is a good choice. Use sharp shears designed for hair cutting, which you can find at beauty supply stores, and trim your chest hair carefully as short as you like.
Step 2
Wax your chest if you want to remove all of your chest hair. You can purchase a home waxing kit at a drugstore or visit a salon to get a professional chest wax. Waxing typically lasts for three to six weeks, according to the TeensHealth website. Getting your chest waxed can be painful and can cause temporary skin irritation.
Step 3
Shave your chest to remove unwanted hair at home. After a hot shower, use scissors to trim your chest hair short, then lather your chest with moisturizing shaving get. Use a sharp razor to shave small patches all over your chest, rinsing your razor thoroughly after each section. Once you have shaved all of your chest hair, rinse your chest with warm water, pat dry and apply a moisturizer. To keep your chest completely smooth, you will have to shave every one to three days.
Step 4
See a dermatologist for laser treatments. Laser treatment results in long-term but not always permanent hair removal. Professional laser removal is expensive and takes about 90 minutes to complete. However, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, laser treatment is especially effective in removing chest hair.
