Most men naturally have more body hair than what’s in style. Sure, it’s your choice if you want to follow the latest trends or not, but if you do care about such things then back hair is out (and was likely never in). Chest hair is acceptable, though most women prefer it groomed, if at all, and we don’t know anyone who is an advocate of ear, nose or excessive eyebrow hair.
There are a number of approaches to dealing with body hair. We’ll provide a quick review of why hair growth patterns change over time and review some of the options available to get rid of it.
The focus in this article will be ear, nose and back, we’ll cover pubic hair and chest hair trends in another segment.
Your Body Hair Is Like a Standup Comedian
As you age, your hair stops growing on the top of your head and starts growing on other parts of your body, like your ears, nose, and back. Scientists don’t know exactly why this happens though they think it has something to do with a mix of genetic and hormonal issues. Not only does hair start growing in new areas, its’ composition changes and it becomes coarser and harder to manage.
