Hair vs Depilation: How Men's Fashion Trends Are Changing

Trends in men's fashion change at the speed of light, and what was considered the height of style yesterday may be a sign of bad taste today. Recently, more and more men refuse to depilate the intimate area, preferring natural hairiness. This trend, which until recently seemed unthinkable, is gaining momentum and has its own reasons.

From metrosexuals to naturalness

The era of metrosexuals, where men literally competed with beauty salons, is gradually fading. Previously, body hair removal was a mandatory item in the image of the "ideal man". However, fashion takes a turn again: Natural beauty, minimal maintenance and slight carelessness in trend.

Why do men refuse depilation?

It's not just about trends. Doctors warn that complete hair removal in the intimate area can lead to:

• rashes and inflammations,
• ingrown hairs,
• skin irritation.

Dr. Tadas Raudonis, head of the Center for Dermatovenereology at Vilnius University Santaros Clinics, recommends laser hair removal or the use of a special razor that does not cut the hair at the root, but leaves it a few millimeters long.

In addition, some men refuse depilation at the request of their partners.

The new trend is complete hairiness

According to Dr. Raudonis, if five years ago men sought complete depilation of intimate areas, today it is a trend Natural hairiness. And this applies not only to the groin, but also to the armpits, and even the breasts.

This trend is observed not only among men. Women are increasingly seeking hair transplantation in the bikini area.

Fashion vs common sense

Trends come and go, but health and comfort remain with us forever. Do not follow fashion if it violates your comfort or confidence.

In the end, the choice is always yours. The main thing is to feel comfortable in your body, regardless of the dictates of fashion.

Practical tips if you decide to give up depilation and choose a natural style

Caring for natural beauty requires attention. If you do everything right, you will feel not only comfortable, but also confident, regardless of the amount of hair.

Regular hygiene

Wash your groin and armpits daily. Hair retains odors, so hygiene becomes especially important. Use a mild antibacterial soap or shower gel. In the hot season, take a shower more often.

Use the Right Deodorants

Choose deodorants with antibacterial properties to prevent odor-causing bacteria from multiplying. Avoid foods with a strong odor that can mix with the body's natural scent.

Trim your hair if necessary

Complete hairiness does not mean that you need to forget about care. Trimmer or scissors will help keep the length under control. Hair that is too long can get tangled and cause discomfort.

Use moisturizing and skin care

After showering, dry the areas thoroughly to avoid humidity that promotes fungus. Hair in the groin can cause irritation if the skin is dry. Apply moisturizer or oil to avoid itching.

Update your underwear

Avoid tight underwear to avoid chafing. Cotton or breathable underwear It copes better with ventilation than synthetics. This reduces sweating and odor.

Regular washing throughout the day

If you feel that the smell has increased, you can refresh the area during the day with unscented wet wipes or washing with water.

Periodic check-ups by a dermatologist

Hairiness increases the risk of ingrown hairs or other skin problems. If something bothers you, do not delay a visit to the doctor.
