Question 1

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 2

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 3

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 4

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 5

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 6

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 7

how come i have no chest hair at 22? am i just a slow bloomer?

Accepted Answer

Your genes: About 5% of men never grow chest hair. This has nothing to do with virility in any other respect. Especially nowadays, many women say they prefer it, and these men also generally do not get progression of male balding on the scalp. Paul newman (photo) talked in an interview about being completely smooth; one couldn't say he was less masculine. Enjoy who you are.

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

i have lots of chest hair, it is denser than hair on my head what to do?

Accepted Answer

Genetics: It is surprising to hear a man asking about having too much chest hair. Usually, I hear about men who want more chest hair. You could consider laser treatments - but, since this is something that many men wish they had- why not just learn to accept it.

Question 10

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!
