Does more body hair means more testosterone?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hair vs Testosterone: Body hair doesn't necessarily reflect testosterone levels which vary quite a bit during the day. However, higher testosterone is wasted as dihydrotestosterone which can cause loss of scalp hair. Genetics, as in family ; ethnicity, probably have more to do w/body, facial ; scalp hair. Of course, excess t in women can cause unwanted facial hair.

In men, no: A man with a normal amount of testosterone will have a growth of body hair determined by his genetics. Men taking extra testosterone for bodybuilding seldom gain significant additional body hair growth.
