Manscaping and the direction of hair growth?

The direction your hair doesn't change. You can't shave or wax hair and change it's growth pattern. If you want it to go back to normal you have to be patient and let it grow back to normal. Waxing will however make your hair more sparse over time. So if you let it grow back to it's normal length and it still looks caveman as you put it, this may be your natural body hair since men's body hair tends to increase with age. There is nothing wrong with man grooming if you end up feeling like you still need it you can always trim your body hair to a "normal" look. I do my husbands manscaping for him.
