You have a hairy back and you want to shave it. It is possible to shave your own back, although you have to take the time and be very careful not to cut yourself. It can be much easier to ask someone to help you, or just pay a professional at a salon. Read on to find out how to get rid of the hair on your back!

To step

Method 1 of 3: Shave your back yourself

1. Be very careful. This task is doable, but difficult. If you shave your own back without any help, it can be difficult to get to all the areas. This can cause you to shave at odd angles, which can increase the risk of cutting the skin. You may not have a full view of the area you are shaving, and you may not be able to easily tell when you missed a piece. Consider finding someone else to do it: maybe a boyfriend or girlfriend, or a professional.
   • Use the safest shaver possible. Choose a shaver with many blades, and preferably one with built-in safety features. A good quality electric razor may be better for your back than a cheap manual razor.
   • Have a towel handy in case you cut yourself. If you cut your back while shaving, it probably won't bleed too much, but it will hurt. In an accident, use the towel to blot the blood.
2. Think forward. Allow yourself enough time to get the job done properly. Choose a space that is private, well lit, and easy to tidy up. A bathroom is ideal: a light room with a mirror, running water and a tiled floor. Make sure you have enough water and shaving cream to make shaving easier on your back.
   • Use a shaving cream or shower gel that contains exfoliating ingredients. This can help prevent ingrown hairs and razor burn.
   • If you rush yourself, you are more likely to make a mistake. Slipping can not only be painful and embarrassing, but it can also put you at risk of infection.
3. Use a mirror. If you are going to shave your back yourself, you need to make sure you can see the entire area you are working on. Use a large and clean mirror and try to tilt it so that you have a clear view of your back. If possible, use two mirrors. Consider using a handheld mirror to focus on a specific area.
   • A mirror not only makes shaving much safer, but it also helps you know when you're done. You may have to hold the mirror very still and very close to your back to see if you "missed a spot".
4. Use an extension for your shaver. There are products specifically designed to help you shave your back. These extra-long handles hold your shaver and significantly increase your reach. Research the products before buying one. Determine if this is something you will actually use over and over again.
5. Work slowly. Take your time and use plenty of shaving cream. Shave in long, continuous strokes across your back and don't be afraid to go over the same spot several times. Go against the "wire" or the growth of your hair. Overlap your strokes to make sure you grab everything. Have patience.
   • Apply generous amounts of shaving cream and water while you shave. Depending on the amount of hair, you may need a lot.
   • Take extra care when shaving around your spine and shoulder blades.Ribbed spots create an uneven surface, making your shaver more likely to jump.
6. Then tidy up. When you're done shaving, take a shower to wash the wet hair and shaving cream off your back. Gently dry your back with a clean towel and apply it gently and gently to any areas you have touched. Consider putting cream on your skin; your back may feel rough and slightly painful after shaving, and the skin on your back may not be used to so much hassle.

Method 2 of 3: Remove hair on your back without shaving

1. Consider getting your back professionally waxed. Find a salon that offers body hair removal and make an appointment. It's generally safer than shaving, it lasts longer and shouldn't cost much more than $ 30. You don't have to shave your back every few days to keep the stubble down, and over time the hair on your back should even get thinner!
   • Waxing removes hair from the root. If done properly, back waxing can last up to six weeks - much longer than with a shave.
   • Don't try to wax your back at home. If you do this, make sure you have help and that you both know what you are doing. In fact, improper waxing can be more dangerous than a bad shave.
2. Immerse yourself in laser hair removal. This solution permanently removes hair from your back, making it much more effective in the long run than shaving or waxing. It is usually a very safe and professional procedure, although it may be a bit more expensive than other alternatives. Consider whether a permanent hair-free backing is worth the cost.
   • The price of laser hair removal depends on the salon and the hair on your back. As a general rule, however, you can expect the procedure to cost around $ 40 to $ 80 per session, spread over as many as ten sessions. This means that you could potentially spend $ 800 for the full treatment.
3. Use a depilatory cream. These products dissolve your hair on the surface of the skin and the hairless effect usually lasts about twice as long as shaving. Keep in mind that these creams can be tricky to apply yourself, so you may need to ask a friend to help. This can be a quick, easy and relatively inexpensive solution, but it will not last nearly as long as waxing or laser hair removal.

Method 3 of 3: Asking for help

1. Find someone to help you shave. Shaving your back yourself is doable, but risky, and a few helping hands will make the process much easier than doing it all yourself. Make sure you trust the person and that you have a close relationship with them. Consider asking your boyfriend or girlfriend if you are in a fairly serious relationship. If you are single, you can ask a good friend. You may even find it easier to pay a professional for it.
2. Trim thick hair on your back. If you have electric clippers, this step is as easy as having your boyfriend or girlfriend connect the clippers and trim the hair on your back. If you don't have clippers handy, have your friend use a comb and scissors to trim your hair. Removing the thick hair first will make shaving your back faster and easier.
   • Then rinse. Jump in the shower and rinse the cut hair off your back. After you rinse out the loose hair, you are ready to shave.
3. Use shaving cream in abundance. Before shaving, ask your friend to rub shaving cream on your back. Make sure he or she spreads the shaving cream all over the area you want to shave.
4. Shave the back slowly. Make sure your boyfriend or girlfriend doesn't apply too much or too little pressure when shaving your back. Let him or her rinse the razor after each stroke for a more effective shave.
   • For the smoothest shave, your boyfriend or girlfriend should shave in the opposite direction to your hair growth.
   • Do not go over the same place too often. Excessive shaving can cause a rash or cuts.
5. Then tidy up. Once your back is shaved, jump into the shower and rinse off the excess shaving cream. Dry gently with a towel. Rub your skin with cream to prevent your shaved back from stinging or drying out. Don't forget to thank your shaving partner for the favor!
   • Look in the mirror to make sure your boyfriend or girlfriend hasn't missed a spot. Apply shaving cream again and shave off any missed spots.

Tips

• Work slowly. Cuts in your back are painful.
• Waxing and laser hair removal are also good options for removing hair on your back.
• Don't try to shave your back yourself unless you have a shaver for that specific purpose.
• Decide whether or not to shave your back. Depending on your boyfriend or girlfriend, your lifestyle and your personal preference, you will find that it is much easier to just live with your furry back. Think before shaving.
