Will shaving my back hair cause it to grow back longer, thicker or darker?
No. This is a common myth. When the hair is cut, if it's not cut at a 90 degree angle, the the tip may look wider than previous hair did. The hair will be the same thickness as before. The hair will not grow in longer. If this was the case bald men would regularly shave their heads to gain longer and thicker hair. It will not grow in darker. Read what Gillette says here.

How can I apply shaving cream to my back?
In theory this sounds like a problem, in practice it is not. Generously apply shaving cream as best as you can, as you shave excess cream will be left all over your back, and it's very easy to move the cream to different locations using the razor. Do not waste your money on special shaving cream applicators. If you desire you can use a back brush to spread the cream, but it really is unnecessary.

Problem 1: Can’t reach the hair so need a volunteer to help!

But the problem for men is we can’t reach the hair! So we either beg our partner to help us, walk the trail of tears to the waxing salon, or pretend the problem will go away.

Problem 2: Which is the best method to remove back hair?

Chemicals can be used to dissolve the hair. You’ll need a volunteer to apply it on you, wait a few minutes, and rinse it off. Then pull remaining hair off with a wash cloth, careful not to further irritate skin. Skin irritation and permanent scarring are side effects. The result is a sore red back, but the hair is gone. The hair will start growing back the next day in many cases. Looks red, but hair is gone.
Laser treatment is expensive, requires multiple treatments, and won't thwart new hair growth. CNN says "...the procedure feels like hot bacon grease splattering your skin." Read the article here.

Waxing hurts, ask any salon worker who waxes, and they will tell you. Waxing literally rips the hair from your back. Depending on your body, the hair will start growing back in a day to a week, not really worth the pain! If that’s not embarrassing enough, many salons charge per the amount of hair waxed. Expect to pay at least $50.00 per session, about $200.00 a month or $2,400.00 a year!. Make sure you plan ahead and make an appointment. Back will be a little red from the trauma, but hair will be gone.

Shaving can be done, but again requires a volunteer to do it for you. Shaving works very well, is inexpensive unlike waxing, and doesn’t harm your back as chemicals can. Depending on your body, hair starts to grow back in a day to a week. Looks great.
