A member asked:

Does chest hair and facial hair ever stop growing?

A doctor has provided 1 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.
