Hairy back

It has come to my attention DH lovingly told me at the weekend I'm a gorilla that the bottom of my back is becoming increasingly hairier. DS5 has also pointed it out over the past year but I I didn't think too much about it.

I caught sight properly this morning and it is definitely becoming much darker and noticable, perhaps spreading. It's always been a bit fuzzy but never seemingly this dark.

I am dark haired, olive skinned and body hair is dark and thick. Usually wax everything waist down but not sure how to ask about getting my waxer to do my lower back. Definitely don't want to shave and laser isn't an option. Does anybody have any experience with having their backs waxed or even the hair bleached?

U can shave it till it’s shorter than usual , and either bleach it or epillatr it urself. It’s a bit painful but takes long to grow so fine. Bleaching could do it .

Just wondering why laser not an option? just because that would be the only way to rid permanently.
I would think waxing or bleaching would be best otherwise. Doesn't shaving make it grow darker and thicker?
I've noticed that epilating my legs has made the hair growing back come back thinner and it takes ages to grow back now.

I have

Sorry about that, I have no experience but in your position I'd just get it waxed when I'm getting everything else done.

I used to epilate my legs but I didn't get the result I wanted. Also, back would be too awkward for me to do myself and the hair is still very fine - just very black, not sure how well it would work.

Laser is too expensive otherwise I'd have had my entire body smooth as a dolphin if I could afford it.
