Title: Hair: what the heck do you do with it?
Post by: Nygeel on September 08, 2013, 10:48:55 PM
This has been a...hairy subject for me. The longer on T, the more hair I have and the less I have in other places. I'm thinning at the top of my head, while growing more hair on my body and face. Now, the question is what do you do in terms of grooming now that you have hair?

It's nearly everywhere. I've got a patch on my shoulder, a patch on another shoulder, chest hair with weird fuzzy spots towards the top of my chest, armpit hair, neck hair, chin hair, sideburns, butt hair, crotch hair, leg hair, nose hair...IT'S EVERYWHERE! So far, the most I've done is trimmed and shaped my facial hair but I'm trying to figure out what to do next (I've grown out the facial hair for a month and a half now).

So, for those with various spots of body hair, what do you do to maintain it?

And what the heck should I do with this? (http://25.media.tumblr.com/855cc534de6c1ed1174a62d9d7354997/tumblr_msu4azMp0X1qal7xro1_500.jpg)
Cause it doesn't look too hot (http://25.media.tumblr.com/f9f113aa7417da17be74d751a312cb31/tumblr_msu2hzgvHb1qal7xro1_500.jpg)
Head hair is also confusing (http://25.media.tumblr.com/3264a1f7200c655cb67417919edc74e0/tumblr_msro4nKr3C1qal7xro1_500.jpg)

Hey,

Even before T I was always hairy , butt, back, tummy, chest you name it. I let it grow except the private area and I also trim my pitt hair because  I find it is easier to keep stink free. Sometimes I trim down my stomach hair with an electric razor or sometimes I will shave it with a shaver so it's smooth but it sucks when it grows in. Now on what you should to with it, kind of depends on what you want. Do you want it gone? If so I would suggest nair or something like that to remove it without getting razor burn and it will last way longer. If you don't want it all gone you could just trim it down with an electric razor so that its shorter but not all the way gone.

I just let nature get crazy - I have the hairiest butt and belly, but not a single hair on my chest.  It looks bizarre, but I'm still holding out hope that my chest will be wooly to match the rest of me  >:-)  I don't shave my face, probably wouldn't shave anywhere else either.  I like being hairy.

I recently completely shaved my stomach, chest, and shoulders. I would advise against doing so, lol. When it starts coming back in it itches to no end and ingrown hairs are horrible.

Like you, I too am thinning on top. I'm almost convinced the hairs are falling out and taking root in other places. I have about a finger tip spot right in front of my hairline that is almost gone. Not sure if it's just my hairline changing or if it's going to spread and I'll go completely bald from there.

I usually do trim my privates and pit hair with clippers to be hygienic. I always shave my shoulders and upper back clean. It's just unsightly and even more so since I'm pre top. I don't know about anyone else but having a hairy chest pre top really gives me dysphoria. My gf tells me to leave it alone and let it grow but if I'm going to be completely honest it makes me feel really bad about myself since I haven't had surgery. After my surgery I'll probably love it.
