Exfoliating Before You Start

Exfoliating is one little secret, which sets manscaping newbies apart from the professionals.

It helps in providing the best results, and what is more, it is also good for the skin.

This step must be done the day prior to getting to work on a happy trails hair. It also helps lessens post-trim irritation.

All the tugging and trimming of hairs can cause razor burn, itching, razor bumps, and follicles irritation.

Getting a 1 MM Trim around the edge of your belly button is important to prevent the above and an important part of the process.




Trimming to 1mm

The first step in trimming a  happy trails hair is to start around the edge of your belly button.

When the it grows in the belly button, it traps lint making it looks unattractive.

So, no matter how often or little you groom, this is a very important step that a guy should consider, set your trimmer to 1 mm, which is the shortest setting, keeping the blade in an angled line of your belly button to get rid of the hair.

Use a 1 to 2 mm guide to trim the hair above your belly button leading to your chest.

Once the belly button is nice and trimmed, keep the trimmer in the same setting and trim the hair above the belly button above the abdominal area.

Getting rid of the hair in this area will highlight your abs, which is one of the best assets of a man. So, make sure this area is cleaned and well-trimmed.

3 MM trim on the sides of your belly button is the next step.

This trim length will give a gradual fade down to your pubic hair part for an overall natural appearance, and at the same time, it will enhance the appearance of your happy trail.

Go over both sides of your happy trails hair as much as required before going forward to the most important thing.

9mm Trim

9MM trim over your happy trail down to pubic hairs.

You can do this by setting the trimmer to the 9MM setting to keep your happy trails hair in check and, at the same time, keep its natural appearance.

Move your trimmer in the opposite direction of the hair grows many times leading down to the pubic hair.

How To Shave Your Happy Trail

This will depend on how hairy your stomach is, so be prepared to shave your stomach to some degree.

You should now be able to see the trimmed areas that you have just completed, and now you just need to simply shave any excess hairs around the area.

I would use a high quality razor and shaving foam to make sure you get the best results.

Once your stomach is shaved, add some post balm cream to take the sting away or a good quality moisturizer.
