A digital imaging method of analyzing pixel data of an image of a user's body for determining a user-specific trapped hair value before removing hair is disclosed. The digital imaging method includes: aggregating training images of respective individuals' bodies before removing hair; training, using the pixel data of the training images, a trapped hair model to determine trapped hair values associated with a trapped hair scale ranging from least trapped hair to most trapped hair; receiving an image of a user's body before removing hair; analyzing the user image using the trapped hair model to determine a user-specific trapped hair value; generating a user-specific electronic recommendation designed to address a feature identifiable within the pixel data of the user's body based on the user-specific trapped hair value; and rendering the recommendation on a display screen of a user computing device.
