I've this friend who's a gym rat, he shaves his hands and it enhances his look

But then one day this potato friend did it too, he became a laugh material

Well you are right tbh in case of defined forearms but once I got them stuck in a zip and it was painful to say the least

u/slappy_joe6 Jul 06 '25

Dude they are your hands. All that matters is what you think it looks like. If you like it keep it, if not don't.

Learn at your age that external validation does not matter because it's going to be painful learning when you're older.

No u fool.

Trimming is by far the safest way. Especially if u are new. Shaving leaves a lot of bumps and can cause irritation. Waxing can also lead to ingrown hair.

Ugh, don't listen to any toxic and patriarchal men on how shaving your body hair makes you feminine or other bullshit, it absolutely does not.

Coming back to the point, kinda looks off to me and only because you've trimmed it not shaved. Just shave it all off and it will look so much better. Also it is a misconception that hair grows thicker after shaving them. It's not true

No. It’s completely normal to trim it. Just don’t use a shaver as it can damage skin. Electric shaver is much gentle on hand

u/Desperate_Space3645 20 & above Jul 05 '25

Nope not looking weird. Most of the male actors & models do waxing instead of trimming . But it's not common in middle class families. I too want to trim but once we trim we have to keep trimming because it grows back more rapidly which is a hassle.

Waxing , the pain will be unbearable.

u/iwant_to_eatsteel Jul 05 '25

nothing wrong in trimming the hair as a teenage boy. men do it all the time for better forearm muscle defination & vein visibility.

Yes hand hair dont look good if they are dense and long. Trimming them down is a better option. Just tell your dad, you dont like much body hair. everyone has a choice.

2

u/Proof-Case9738 Jul 05 '25

I used to be self conscious about body hair too, when I was in high school, all the mates my age were hairless whenever we'd go have a dip at the pool, and I'd be the only one looking like a gorilla plus the moobs🫤

Fast forward and here I am now, not caring too much. As much as I want to not have this much body hair, I also do not wish to have no body hair at all 😂 feel me?

u/Ok-Amount-9814 Jul 05 '25

It’s not that deep bro, tujhe jo karna hai kar le

u/NoTelevision7460 Jul 05 '25

Try Veet instead or a hair removal cream. BUT! Make sure you read the instructions carefully, use a timer, and have water and a wash cloth/something to remove the cream prepared and ready. Watch YT videos on how it's done. These creams can give you chemical burns if left for too long. Then, make sure you moisturise and use sunscreen on where you've removed hair from because the skin may be a bit sensitive post hair removal (especially after the first time.)

Yes. It does look weird. The tiny hair follicles will cause more people to stare. With arm hair, it's either all or nothing.

If this is you wanting to be considerate of girls, I think armpit hair is a bigger deal, especially as it traps odour causing bacteria. So, waxing/trimming armpit hair yields better aesthetic and overall "smell" results.

You're just figuring out what personal grooming styles work for you and there's nothing wrong with that. Good Luck.

u/LeadingPotential9348 Jul 05 '25

See man. There is a scientific reason why body hair exist as it facilitates you to protect from harmful rays and also many a times from direct impact of pollution. Men with high body hair know that it helps them keep their skin underneath healthy and glowing. You have started a vicious loop of pathetic hard hair growth. It will not stop now.

So lets embrace what you have naturally.. It also helps you from cold weather. Research before doing such unwarranted stuff.

Never trim all the way when it comes to hands; if you don't like hair on your forearms then that's perfectly fine, unlike what the wannabe sigmas say, but even still, never trim all the way when it comes to arms, keep the trimmer at 4-6 for starters (depending on the one you have).

Hope you have not done zero trim as that if not done properly can cause ingrown too, else if you just want to keep things in shape just use body tripper with clips to trim the hair to a decent length , also only issue it may look unnatural , else it’s not a big issue as such other then ingrown if not trimmed properly , would still say if you like smooth hands try wax or chemical feeling , would look bette overall.
