Talk to your doctor if you have excessive hair growth on your back and other areas of your body. Find out if this excessive hair growth is caused by a hormonal imbalance. It's important to make sure you this isn't the problem before you begin any treatments to get rid of back hair, otherwise all the work that you do to remove it will be futile. If you do have a hormonal imbalance, this condition may be treatable with medications, but it likely won't remove every hair from your back but just reduce the amount.

Buy a sugaring kit, but it'll probably be too difficult to do yourself. Effective sugaring needs exact application and careful pulling against the grain of hair growth. Unless you're a contortionist, you won't be able to do this, so enlist the help of an esthetician.

Use depilatory creams that you buy at any drug store. They will remove the hair for two to four weeks by dissolving it. If your hair is coarse, then depilatory creams may not entirely remove the hair. You'll probably need someone to help you by applying the cream evenly to your back if you use this route to get rid of back hair.

Try electrolysis, a permanent hair removal technique where the hair follicle is shocked to such an extent that it no longer grows any more hair. This technique could be very costly and take a lot of time depending on how much back hair you have. Several treatments are usually required and the hair grows back thinner after each treatment until it stops growing.

Shave using a sharp razor. You'll need someone else to lather up your back for you. If you have really long back hair, then you'll need to trim it first. Also your back may feel itchy when the hair grows back. You'll need to shave often because the hair will grow back every day and if you let it grow for a few days, then you'll have the equivalent of facial stubble on your back.
