Fuzzy wuzzy was a man…

Do we want our men to have hair on their heads?

Hells yeah.

Hair on their legs? Sure.

But when it comes to the back, and some other areas, we start to want to introduce them to our neighborhood waxers.

My friends at Shobha Threading in NYC recommend having our man do the “twirl test” – If you are uncertain about your man’s manscaping needs, you can do a test, which is quick, easy and painless. Simply try to wrap a piece of his body hair (in a region that concerns you ) around your pinky finger. If the hair can wrap more than half way around this phalange, you need to explore maintenance options.

If the twirlability test has tested positive, don’t worry. There are solutions!
Commonly, most areas for excess fuzz for men are found on the torso. it’s true, some people actually enjoy a few extra tufts of hair on their mate’s chest – but there is nothing erotic about back hair! oh, & just one more little factoid, posterior hair can exist north & south of the waistline – everything must go!

Manscaping solutions - There are sugaring and waxing treatments to help in the demolition of such follicular forests that promise to leave you smooth & furless; If you’re new to manscaping, a monthly regimen will help keep that monkey off your back (or front)!’
The male threshold for pain
Yes, studies have shown that women do seem to handle physical pain better. Wusses.

3 reasons your man should “manscape”

Aly Walansky — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 09:34:56 +0000

As I’m going to a pretty spectacular Black Friday ball tomorrow night, in-between basting the bird, I’m waxing the (fill in the blank). As I was poetically sugaring my limbs, I realized…it sucks men don’t have to do this.

The truth is, some do!

Shobha, NYC’s hair removal expert, reveals the top three
reasons men go bare down there:

1. To forgo the extra ‘five o’clock shadow’ and opt for a
longer-lasting, smoother solution.
2. To minimize hair and maximize the appearance of other ‘parts.’
3. To enjoy hairless happiness – men can hate body hair as much as
women.

So, I must ask: Do any of you ladies have a man in your life who “manscapes”? How do you feel about that???

*manscape
	1.	an expanse of male anatomy that can be seen in a single view: a handsome manscape.
	2.	a picture depicting an expanse of the male physique.
	3.	the branch of art dealing with the representation of the male human body.
adj.
	1.	of or relating to a manscape: manscape treatments.
	2.	of or relating to manscaping: a salon offering manscape services.
v. man-scaped, man-scap-ing, man-scapes v.tr. to adorn or improve (a region of the male anatomy) by grooming &/or by removing body hair, skin imperfections, or flabbiness.

Grooming your man’s brows

Aly Walansky — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 04:49:02 +0000

So, if you live in a major metropolitan city – or not – you may or may not be dating a metrosexual.

My best friend’s guy has been known to get his brows threaded before every special occasion so that they are perfectly shaped, and my baby-faced little brother will never go to bed before well-moisturizing from his toes to the tips of his fingers.

When is it too much? And when is it just…good manners?

The truth is, male grooming is sometimes just good manners: Neanderthal man is long gone, the time when male body odor was the only fragrance required is only valid in the wild (and among my puppies).

Men have evolved, and as brows are known to frame the face, keeping them in order is more important than just about anything they may wear on their body.

The interesting thing is that brows are ONLY noticeable when they are a mess, and if your guy has a monobrow or just a few stray hairs, it may be a good time to summon his inner metro.

Check out the above video, where Aisha Alves of with Picture Perfect Makeup gives a step-by-step how-to on how to groom your man’s brows. Keep it in mind for your holiday parties!
