Question 1

is it normal for a 16 year old boy, to have lots of chest hair?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It can be totally normal for a 16 year old boy to have chest hair as part of normal maturation

Question 2

if a 14 year old boy has chest hair and facial hair that you can see a little bit the day after shaving can he grow 3 more inches?

Accepted Answer

Yes: 14 years old boy is in growth spurt period and will grow  3inches more .they keep on growing till 18-19 ears of age .

Question 3

17yo boy, voice still high. want it to become very low. is there still time? most things developed years ago now facial hair nd chest hair just grewin

Accepted Answer

Yes: This is called Puberphonia. hormonal changes in adolescence cause the adams apple and vocal cords to enlarge&gt; causing a deeper voice. For various reasons sometimes a high pitched voice persists. You may want to check with your family Dr to be sure there is no hormonal cause. Therapy is provided by a speech therapist experienced in treating Puberphonia.

Question 4

if a 14 year old boy has chest hair and has noticeable facial hair one day after shaving and is 5'11 parents 5'6 and 6'3 how much taller will he be?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: By mid parental height he should reach 72" and stop, however if the growth centers in his long bones remain open he may grow taller. Most males stop growing about 16-17 and grow a little over about 2 inches/yr. A growth center study of the bones in his wrist/hand would allow a better estimate of when growth will stop.

Question 5

i'm 23 years old male. i only have body hair growth in my legs,armpits and groin. i don't have beard growth or chest hair. is this normal or do i have some kind of hormonal problem?

Accepted Answer

: This isn't necessarily abnormal, but it's atypical at your age, especially absence of beard growth. If you have normally developed penis and testicles, normal voice change since adolescence, and normal sexual function (erections etc) and urges, it reduces the chance of a hormonal problem. If still in doubt, see an endocrinologist for professional evaluation. Good luck.

Question 6

when does a person stop growing chest hair? i am 28 and have a little chest hair.

Accepted Answer

Your genetics: You'll probably have all your chest hair by age 30, usually before. Some women prefer a hairy chest, others a smooth one. About 5% of usa men have no chest hair; this included paul newman who remarked on it in an interview in the 1960's, and later it became the norm for most (not all) male celebrities to shave their chests. Get physically fit and you'll look great regardless of your genes.

Question 7

does chest hair and facial hair ever stop growing?

Accepted Answer

No: Chest hairs tend to have a short life cycle which is why they never grow very long like the ones on your head or face. Feel free to shave, or you can have hair removed where you don't want it if you're sure it's what's right for you and your partner.

Question 8

when do boys usually get chest hair?

Accepted Answer

Late puberty: In later puberty, around the time when all of the pubic hair is in and there is underarm hair and the need for shaving the face every day. However, many men never get any and that is inherited.

Question 9

for most boys, what is the average age that they start to grow their first bits of chest hair?

Accepted Answer

It is individual: Usually for boys, there will be the beginning of hair growth in the immediate pre-pubertal years of 11-12.  Pubic hair will become obvious, then arm pit hair and then facial hair.  Chest hair in my opinion is usually later.  Depending on genetic make up, you may have a lot or a little in these areas.  Chest hair is very independent.  Some men essentailly never have chest hair.

Question 10

i almost don't have hair in my chest.  how can i intensify my chest hair?  can you give me a real method?

Accepted Answer

Let it be: You are more likely to harm your health by trying to grow chest hair.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
