Question 1

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 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 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 4

is it normal to grow chest hair in early 20s?

Accepted Answer

Lucky you: Men who are going to get chest hair get it in the late teens and early twenties. The amount varies tremendously from man to men, and different women have different preferences. Hairier men tend to go bald sooner, but a hairy chest will make many smoother men jealous. Shave it? Style it? It's your body -- i hope you enjoy what you've got.

Question 5

could chest hair mean i have stopped growing taller?

Accepted Answer

Becoming a man: Not always. The sequence is variable. Congratulations on your approaching manhood. You can't do anything about your final height, but you have 100% control over your physical fitness, which overrides everything else when it comes to a man's good looks. I hope you are pleased with whatever Nature gave you. Best wishes.

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

i'd like to grow chest hair but i don't have any or know how to. my age is 52.

Accepted Answer

It is genetic and-: Hormonal. Some people are programmed genetically to have chest hair while others not. American Indians are relatively deficient in chest hair, but have normal male testosterone levels. Of course low testosterone is a factor. That is easily checked. If low, applying gels or creams of testosterone may help. The counterpoint is that many men shave chest hair!

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

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.
