Hairy Chest

Waxing hurts and can also lead to ingrown hairs, where as I feel hair removal cream I feel works better as it dissolves the hair so there is no abrasion or irritation like when you shave. I would hazard a guess that waxing takes a longer time to grow back the hair followed by hair removal cream and then shaving.

I would warn you though to test the product on a small area first to make sure you aren't allergic. Also, please keep it off the genitals; common sense but you'd be surprised how many people use it for that when there are specialist creams designed for the genitals while others are more for arms, armpits, legs, chest and arse where the skin isn't necessarily so sensitive.

I don't think there is any permanent way to stop hair growing, apart from pulling out the roots which just sounds painful.. If it's an insecurity at least you can keep shaving so it's not so noticeable, and you're bound to find someone that will accept you for who you are!

treasure trail??

You can do waxing.. To remove that unnecessary hairs.

You could try ipl. I had it done in certain areas so I don't have to bother shaving or waxing.
I'd advise you to get a blood test done to check for a hormonal imbalance. My friend, who had excessive hair growth, found out she had pcos. Since being on the pill her hair has decreased.

Right this is embarrassing, hence the anon, but my chest is really rather hairy tbh. It is worse near my stomach and i actually have a line of hair running up from my belly button. I was wondering why i am so hairy (yes i am female and no i'm not asian, no offence intended there, i have just seen threads on that topic before) and what i can actually do about it because i hate it and makes my body look even worse that it already is. I've tried shaving but effectively shaving that whole area is hard and im worried about making the hairs thicker and more noticeable

im 17 don't really have that sort of money but thank you, i shall bear that in mind for the future

From shaving other regions on my body, I can say from experience that this is not a myth.

Nothing worse than a treasure trail on a woman.
Get rid.

Name for the hair going from the belly button to pubic hair.

I always thought that was called a snail trail

eugh help idk

Birthday.

How about investing in one of these laser hair removal device from Boots?I bought one for use mainly on my legs and the hairs are lighter and have reduced but you do have to use it consistently to see results.http://www.boots.com/en/Electrical/Female-Hair-Removal/IPL-Hair-Removal/

As a cosmetic scientist in the making having just studied the structure of hair, removal and cleansing, I can confirm that it is a myth. If you look at the structure of hair closely, the tip is very fine/tapered and the centre and root are much thicker. Cutting the hair acts like cutting the end of a rope; the threads or fibres (or layers of cells, as they are on hair) fray at the end, appearing thicker. This effect is increased if moisture is lost from the hair (such as from heat damage), causing more obvious split ends. If the hair was allowed to grow back after plucking (or waxing) cleanly, however, the tip is still tapered rather than split.A less sciency description:http://www.sciencealert.com/does-hair-really-grow-back-thicker-and-darker-after-shavingOP, as someone suggested earlier, it does sound like you may have a hormone inbalance. A doctor may be able to put you on the pill or something similar to balance them out a little. Overgrowth is especially likely if you are going through puberty, the effects of which can continue into adulthood for some people. Have you spoken to any relatives about it? Do they have a similar problem? Is it only your chest that concerns you or is there growth elsewhere?Methods-wise, definitely avoid shaving. Cutting the hair will give a coarser appearance, so try and use a cream or wax so as not to leave blunt ends. If it's a small area that concerns you, perhaps consider plucking the excess? It will be a slow process, but means that because you aren't removing all the hair at once, it won't all grow back at once, so it will appear more sparse as opposed to being completely gone, but won't leave you with stubble or an even regrowth. Anything that removes all hair at once means it will all grow back at once, and might not be long enough for the wax to catch it until it's more visible. Only try these if hormonal investigations don't help. Good luck, whatever you do

By the way, I just wanted to say: it's your body and you can do with it what you will. Tell men that if they want a landstrip, they had better get ripped. And well um i don't have that many relatives tbh and my immediate family they are all very dark (dark hair and eyes etc) so their hair is more noticeable whereas i'm fair and blonde so idk if i'm similar to them with regards to that. And mostly my chest because yeah it is an unfortunate place also my stomach paticuarly that trail bit that seems to have different names also my back as well, the lower bit i do have a hairy face but it is really blonde so you cant see it anyway and thank you

I'm hairy, some people are extremely hairy like Kunal Nayar but it's probably genetic or inheritance
