   Step 1: Trim the hair with nail scissors.

   If you have noticed a few stray gray/white hairs on your body, your first impulse might be to pluck them out.

   This is a great option if you need to do more than snip individual hairs and you think a good trim will effectively disguise your gray.
   
   Any electric clipper with a plastic guard can be used, although devices made specifically for beards or body hair may give you better control.This is also good to do prior to shaving, if you have a lot of hair to trim down before removing it completely.

   Simply follow the instructions provided.
