Today's Men and Waxing
It's true - going hairless isn't just for the ladies when it comes to modern manliness – more and more are headed to waxing salons for things like facial waxing, leg or butt waxing or a chest wax. Some are even going for smooth scrotums, known as Brozilians, Manzilians or male bikini waxes. What are your thoughts on manscaping?
You don't have to have an immediate answer. If you do, be adventurous. That's more macho than sitting out. You could even call male waxing a bucket list checkoff. The ladies will flip.
Think, first, about the most basic wax: the eyebrow wax. It has been for chicks only, but this eyebrow wax has become practically standard in the grooming routines of metrosexuals across the globe. Combed and orderly brows can make you more handsome, and the waxed appearance looks nice to the ladies.
Then, consider the ear or nose wax. As guys get older, body hair of all varieties gets thicker (if only this were also true up top). When it's coming out of your your nose, or growing on the edges of your ears, you might look like Bigfoot. Or worse. Get that spurt of hair into place with nostril or ear waxing, or resort to the razors and – ouch – tweezers. For a youthful look, try the wax off, wax on approach.
If you're all aboard the waxing express, we do have one warning: don't try it on the rest of your face, jaw and jowls! This manly hair is usually too thick and coarse - the follicles are too close together. You're more likely to look skinned. Instead, stick to a regular shave or indulge in a trip to the barber. Look for mens' and womens' waxing salons that do the perfect shave.
Throughout most of human history, body hair was just hair. It was even thought to be more masculine, and you were born with it. Now, the amount and grooming of body hair more relevant, say the expert aestheticians at chest wax south jordan, ut.
It's time to slide down the happy trail for a moment. To know how the best do it, head to So. Cal. There, movie stars do things like waxing the hip flexors to look more trim while leaving ab hair to make washboard abs stand out (or seem to stand out). To really drip with masculinity, the celebrities wax the whole package.
Waxing's really not that bad. Going all bare with no body hair could just be that bucket list item that you'll want to go for time and again.
