Question 1

can biotin make unwanted excess body hair growth worse?

Accepted Answer

Yes...: Yes biotin is very effective for hair and nail growth. It will promote hair growth everywhere.

Question 2

how to reduce my body hair growth?

Accepted Answer

Why do you ask?: If you're male, many women like a hairy guy and most other men are at least a little bit jealous. Even if you prefer smooth, you can shave for now (or get "manscaped") and wait until you're in a stable marriage and let her decide whether to opt for electrolysis / laser. If you're a woman, your physician can advise whether there's a hormonal issue and about treatment if you desire it.

Question 3

is there a way to stop body hair growth?

Accepted Answer

Body Hair: There is no way to stop the growth of body hair, unless laser hair removal is used repeatedly for dark hairs.

Question 4

does increased sexual increase body hair growth?

Accepted Answer

It doesn't : Increased sexual activity will have no affect on any hair growth. Neither does shaving. When young men/women first start to have sex or shave, they many not have much hair. As they get older, they get more hair. This would happen with or without sexual activity.

Question 5

will mastubating lead to increase in body hair growth ?

Accepted Answer

Doesn't grow hair: If one starts masturbating in his or her early teen years, he or she will have more body hair by the late teen years. It's just a coincidence, because everyone gets more body hair over those years. Masturbating doesn't cause hair changes (won't cause more hair to grow anywhere, and won't cause hair loss anywhere either).

Question 6

what can cause body hair growth?

Accepted Answer

Hormone imbalance: Hormones such as testosterone can stimulate hair growth.

Question 7

what speeds up body hair growth and what slows it down?

Accepted Answer

Hormones: Testosterone increases hair growth to body and estrogen tends to antagonize the effects of testosterone effectively reducing hair growth.

Question 8

does an increase in exercise increase body hair growth?

Accepted Answer

It can: Hair growth can be stimulated by androgens (like testosterone) which are increased by exercise.

Question 9

can there be any product that can increase body hair growth?

Accepted Answer

Increased Body Hair: Minoxidil can cause increased hair in some individuals if the are susceptible.. However, if you grow hair and stop the medication the hair that grew will be lost.

Question 10

is there anything i can take to increase your body hair growth?

Accepted Answer

Not really.: Body hair growth is largely determined by genetics. Applying  rogaine (minoxidil) miight help a little. Taking testosterone would might work but you would have severe side effect, acne, oily skin, deep voice, loss of breast mass, enlarged clitoris, etc. Assuming your are a female as indicated in your profile these would be intolerable. Most women don't want body hair! if you are male, ask again.
