Shave it. This is the cheapest and easiest remedy for unwanted back hair. Since it's back hair, someone else has to help. Razor results don't last long; a few days at the most. However, razors are extremely cheap and simple to use.

Try hair removal creams. Hair removal creams used to be extremely offensive-smelling. However, today's creams are slightly better, although still fairly unpleasant. These creams work within minutes to remove hair wherever they're applied. Make sure to test it on a small patch of skin prior to use to make sure there's no reaction to the chemicals. Results last about a week.

Wax it off. Waxing lasts longer than shaving, although it does involve more pain. If a friend volunteers to help, wax kits sold at the supermarket are inexpensive and work very well. Otherwise, find a local spa or salon to wax the back. Waxing causes temporary redness that lasts for several hours every time it's done, so plan outings with back exposure accordingly.

Think permanent. Laser hair removal permanently gets rid of hair. However, it's expensive, takes several sessions and isn't very comfortable. If back hair is particularly bothersome, and money isn't an issue, laser hair removal will take care of the issue.

Pluck it. If there's only a few hairs, pluck them out with a pair of tweezers. While the results only last a few days, there is only minor discomfort and the cost is minimal. If the hairs are easy to reach, doing it alone is possible, otherwise find a friend to help.

Tips & Warnings
The first time, remove back hair one week or more prior to a planned shirtless event. This ensures that any reaction, such as redness or bumps, is gone. Skin sensitivity to most treatments lessens over time. Use shaving cream when using a razor to prevent razor burns or cuts.
Don't apply creams or wax to open wounds or sunburned skin.
