Feel like you’re smuggling shag carpet under your shirt? Lighten your load, and get a look that’s sure to impress.

You Will Need

  • Clippers
  • Exfoliating body wash and loofah
  • Moisturizing shaving cream
  • Fragrance-free lotion or aftershave
  • Depilatory cream
  • A washcloth
  • And knowledge of professional hair removal techniques
  • A shaving brush (optional)

Step 1: Trim the hair

Reduce chest hair with clippers. Set the guard to the desired length and run the clippers over your chest and stomach for a neat, trimmed look.

Step 2: Shave it

If you want to get rid of your chest hair completely, shave it. For best results, shave in the shower after exfoliating thoroughly and lathering up with a moisturizing shaving cream. Shave with, rather than against the grain, to avoid razor burn, and apply fragrance-free lotion or aftershave when you get out of the shower.

Use a shaving brush to work lather under the hair for a gentler shave.

Step 3: Use a depilatory cream

You can also use a depilatory cream to remove chest hair. Apply it liberally to the entire chest and wait five to 10 minutes as directed. Use a damp washcloth to wipe the cream and the hair away, and then hop in the shower. Discontinue use if burning or irritation occurs.

Step 4: Wax it

Go to a pro and get your chest waxed. Although this process can be painful, it lasts two weeks or longer, often without the irritation associated with shaving or creams.

Step 5: Consider a permanent solution

Consider having your chest hair permanently removed with a professional laser treatment. This is by far the most expensive option, but it requires the least amount of maintenance. After a few sessions, chest hair is gone for good, and you’ll have that baby smooth look and feel forever!
