Question 1

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 2

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 3

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 4

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 5

when do you start growing chest hair?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Noticeable chest hair growth depends on heredity and genetics.  Some men never grow chest hair.  If you are going to have chest hair, it usually starts around the same time or shortly after beard growth.  So some may have heavy chest hair by age 14-15, others early to mid 20s, and some will never have significant chest hair.

Question 6

how do i know if i have a chance to grow chest hair?

Accepted Answer

Most guys can: About 95% of men eventually grow some chest hair, usually by age 20 and often earlier. It's entirely your genes, as long as you're normally masculinized (i.e., your sexual function is all-systems-go). If you're naturally smooth, you're much less likely to go bald, and many (most?) women in the us say they prefer it. Paul newman, best chest of his era, had no chest hair.

Question 7

if you have chest hair does that mean you are done growing?

Accepted Answer

No: Chest hair grows throughout life in males.  You can shave or wax chest hair if your desire or just leave it to grow normally.  Chest hair in males usually starts in puberty.  If you are concerned, seek out an evaluation from your medical doctor.  Good luck.

Question 8

hai i am 23 year old i dont have chest hair how can i get chest hair?

Accepted Answer

Genetics: This is definitely an hereditary issue.  If you are sexual mature in all other areas then you probably will have no hair on your chest.  Some men have a lot and others have none.  It is all in your genes from your family

Question 9

what are risks of waxing chest hair?

Accepted Answer

Folliculitis: Waxing can result in a localized infection in certain individuals. It is not suited for people with chest acne. Waxing is repeated at about 4-6 weeks, and there needs to be stubble for waxing to be effective. Longer term laser offers advantages if affordable.

Question 10

how can i grow chest hair in puberty?

Accepted Answer

It's genetic: If you're normally masculinized by your hormones, whether you get chest hair (and 95% of men in the us do) is entirely a function of your genes. Almost all men envy a guy with a hairy pelt, but most women say they prefer smooth, top hollywood stars shave it fof, and hairy guys go bald much sooner than others. Enjoy whatever the genetic lottery gave you. Paul 'best chest' newman had no chest hair.
