    Back Hair Increasing

    My Test E cycle @ 500 mg/ew has really given me some thick back hair. Yes, Ive always had a little patch on each lat, however, they are now noticably thicker and darker.

    Question: Is the increased back hair here to stay? Or will it thin out after the cycle ends?

    I am just curious, not a big deal or anything.

    sounds about right, i start getting those test hairs around week 9 or 10...

    for the most part, they will go away permanently after shave/wax but not on their own

    Ive heard that shaving does not make a hair coarser. Ive shaved my arms for years and when I do let it grow out, it ends up being the same as it always was.

    Yes but on your back there is a lot of those invisible white peach fuzz hairs, Im sure that if you start shaving those theyll come in darker and thicker. The already dark hairs wont. So i dont want it to appear that i have more hair.

    Can you guys recommend a test that doesnt have this affect? Or am I screwed anywere i go?

    thanks

    I dont know, man. I mean Ive shaved my back (the whole damn thing, peach fuzz or not) and the fuzz still grows in the same. But thats just me.

    I think were screwed with any test man.

    ok once and for all, shaving does not make hairs grow back thicker.


    when you shave you cut the hair off at an angle which makes the end of it appear thicker/wider. end of story. the whole thickening story is BS.

    with any test you are screwed maybe do shorter cycles with prop or suspension i dunno if that would work but you are getting growth late into into cycles. i bought the device called the" razorba "it looks like back scratcher but a razor goes in it and u can shave your back in 10 minutes and its really easy. its about $35 though kinda expensive for a plastic wand but i am glad i bought it

    back hair is there to stay in my opinion. my back and shoulder caps have grown more hair since my last cycle i shave my shoulders and i have had my wife pluck the back(not pleasant) and it has become overwhelming to the point where she advised me to wax the back.

    What sucks is that my entire back is covered in darkish peach fuz but its the worst at the top and around my shoulders.

    SO HOW DOES THIS SOUND.

    Tomorrow when I go get my arms waxed (i wax up to my delt but not my delt) Im going to wax my upper back area. (upper upper back lol so like top quarter) and around shoulders as well. Only problem is that ill have a stupid line were i waxed and were i didnt from the dark peach fuz lower back lol. Oh well.

    My reasoning to do this is because my back hair peach fuzz only got darker and longer since the test, and PLZR8 said that after a wax the thicker hair from the test will go away and itll return to normal...or so i pray.


    Think thatll work??? Any advice, comments? lol

    Pray for me... I hate ****ing hair

    I was a backshaver for years, i had never done a cycle but i was just a hairy mofo, then last year i decided to invest in lazer hair removal, they had a new version of the machine which was less painful and worked better on my tan skin, it still stung alot but after 4 sessions i am the happiest man alive! I can go to the pool and wear sleevless shirts without hair sticking out from the sides or top i am just very happy with the results. I still have two sessions left which will just destroy any life left in the hair follicles.

    The best way to go is to go to a smaller clinic where they will bargain with you if you do more sessions they turn out to be alot cheaper. I thought i would need at least 6 for my hairy back so i got a good deal but it only took 4 sessions to get the results i want.

    You must still be single. Im married, the wife does the shaving. I used to care alot about the hair but once I got hitched I quit caring so much.
    I know what waxing is like, its not too bad. Good luck, it will help.

    A little story. I used to shave my chest. Then one day i decided to wax it at home.
    Moral of this story. Don't wax your chest at home. As you rip out the hairs, you become more intelligent and learn not to do something ever ever ever again.
