Is chest hair trimming an alternative to chest hair removal?
For men, chest hair removal can depend on a few things most notably the amount of hair to be removed, the desired length of time that you’d like the hair removed, the amount of money and time you have to spend on the hair removal and finally the goal of the hair removal.
Focusing on the last point, you might be someone who is really looking to get rid of chest hair and want to be hair free. While popular options like waxing, chemical depilatories and shaving are commonly used to remove chest hair, men might also opt for choices that could provide longer term results such as laser or light-based hair removal to achieve chest hair removal.
On the other hand, you might just be looking for a quick and cheap way to temporarily reduce the amount of chest hair that you have and therefore might be open to other options that perhaps don’t involve the time, cost or pain that some other hair removal options generally cause.
Certainly there can be a big difference between removing chest hair completely and simply reducing the amount of hair that you have or more specifically, chest hair trimming to keep it short and therefore appear less noticeable.
One quick and relatively cheap way to reduce chest hair is to buy a pair of hair clippers. Typically you can pick up a cheap set for perhaps $20-$60 depending on the make and the features it offers and a good one will come with several length settings to enable you to pick how long you will cut the hair.
Using the hair length selector ensures that the hair is evenly cut throughout and avoids having you end up with bald spots if you trim too close without the length selector!
Basically an electric hair trimmer can be used for chest hair trimming to trim your chest hair in certain places of your choosing or you could simply trim the entire chest area to temporarily reduce the amount of noticeable chest hair that you have.
Obviously this is a temporary option best described as temporary hair reduction since it essentially trims the hair in question and doesn’t actually remove it.
If you don’t like the resulting look, the hair should grow back with in several weeks depending on how short you trimmed it. If you do like the look, you simply use the hair trimmer again once the hair has grown back to a length that requires further shortening.
