MEN! - WHen did your body hair STOP growing?

[Diver Down]

I'm gonna be 20 in 3 months. I'm mostly smooth but lately I have noticed some fine blonde hairs on my back, shoulders and chest. They look fine but if they get thicker/blacker it'll be gross. I hope they don't turn into black ones...... What age will my bodyhair stop growing?

Like, at what age did you have mostly all of your body hair? Early 20's?

Sorry to say but I didn't have any back hair until about 2 years ago (I'm 31). It's not too bad just below the neck/upper traps. My wife says she's going to make me get it waxed though. lol

[busta hymen]

lazer hair removal!

[phikappa]

It just depends on the person. Look at Andy Rooney.

[Hibiscus09]

LOL phikappa! See, there's real proof it eventually turns white anyway and barely shows up!

[A.FreeRadical]

I think you want to know; "When do you stop getting body hair in different parts of your body?" The question you posed; "When did your body hair stop growning?" is another question entirely.

The answer to both is "Never". You will get hair in places you can't now even imagine. And... your hair (that part that doesn't fall out) will start to grow to unimaginable lengths.

[Diver Down]

damn it. Are small patches of blonde hair (sometimes referred to as fuzz) destined to grow into black hair? Like is that the first stage?

[Musicguy]

Funny topic.... I was always told that the older you get, the more you become able to grow hair! Except on the top of your head, of course.

Oh, and some guys' earlobes seem to get bigger, too.

[Overload]

Funny topic indeed. I noticed that recently I've gotten a little bit of hair on one of my lats. Nothing major but I have my wife rip it out if it's beach season because it just looks odd on one lat. I feel it's the extra test I'm producing from my mega mass producing workout

I remember when growing up, we would sit around watching TV and my mother would pluck the hairs from my father's ears. Now that's love. It was like watching chimps groom each other. lol

That's how it all starts. Then, overnight...BAM!!!! Your fingers are doing the walking through the yellow pages for the nearest ALASE Center.

Just ask these two poor fellas.

[ShadowRydr]

Sorry to tell you bud, it won't stop growing.

And as many here have and will attest too, the older you get, the more the chances are it will be transplanted from places like your head, to places like your back, your ears, your butt...etc..

Welcome to the over age 35 life...

[Sam_I_Am]

blond fuzzies, that's how it all starts.

A few go dark, then before you know it you're the guy with the hairy back.

If it comes in thick enought, which it will, you can shave the numbers of your favorite sports personality in your back hair!

In all seriousness, it could be the beginning of nothing, but we old timers just like to have some fun with the youngsters around here!

[Hibiscus09]

LOL!! On an upbeat, more feminine note, you can do creative and purty things with it -- like braid it, and add pretty little hair bows to it!

[Abdominator]

Unfortunately, it only gets worse. I just turned 37 and for the first time pre-contest (this past June 2004), I had to shave my back.

Don't worry though, it's all a part of growing up.

My girlfriend actually thinks the 3 hairs growing on my ears are cute. We've named them "Huey, Dewey and Frank."

- Skip "Epilady, take me away!"

[Minotaur]

Well, you could pray for a testosterone deficiency like I had. Then you'd lose a lot of body hair. Of course you lose a lot more than just body hair. But after starting replacement, the hair and other things came back.

Anyhoo... there are worse things to be afflicted with than copious body hair. Because there are remedies for it, like shaving, trimming, waxing, and defoliating (depilitories). I go to a salon once every 5-6 weeks to have my back and upper arms/shoulders waxed. Costs me $25-30.

[Max-Machine]

If you worry about it, it'll grow in faster, thicker and darker!

When I was 12, I couldn't wait to start shaving so I could be a real man.

Never dawned on me exactly how manly I would become!

Welcome to the club!

Don't worry about it tho, we got the technology!

[Overload]

Isn't that the truth. Now I just wish I could go a couple of days without shaving. It's even rare I can go 2 days in a row

[Hibiscus09]

At least ya'll don't get PMS!

[Overload]

At least ya'll don't get PMS!

No, but some of us have to still endure it

[Hibiscus09]

I have no idea what you could possible mean by that!

[Lynne]

My last name is Price. So, my husband has finally learned what PMS means. I tell my husband PMS = Price Must Suffer!

Now that's funny. My middle name also starts with an P and my first wife used to say "Peter Must Suffer!"

You know they say if you're bald on the top...you're a thinker.

If you're bald on the sides...you're a lover.

If you're just bald...you just think you're a lover.

It actually came in quicker once I started working out.

Your ears and nose never stop growing.

[DanMc]

It started growing prior to the begging of my child like behaviors. I would say it may stop sometime after those behaviors fade.

[Power-Quest]

36 and mine is still growing.

[piperman]

Well, I've had it both ways. Two years ago I had chemotherapy and lost the body hair on my arms and legs. Only the gray/silver hair stayed on my head! Now it's all back. By the way, ear hairs do exist in old age; I have found out through personal continuous experience!

[titan254]

Yelp, it's something that you're going to have to live with. It's all part of getting older. I've got some back hairs, though it's just sparse and not too hairy. You don't see unless you're looking up close. Just wait until the top starts going thin. Strange, you can grow hair all over your body except on the top.

[larry7807]

I remember when I was 14 and got my first chest hair and everyone thought that was cool...Nowadays it's like a sin.

[harlin]

Damn, you guys are a bunch of hairy apes! (just kidding)
I'd always felt less manly when I was a teen, b/c I hardly had any body hair.
My arms and legs have fine hair, but I noticed that I have to trim my nose and ear hairs,recently. Now I have to shave my face everyday! And I'm 40!

[clive]

At 44 my body hair still grows, I dont have a problem with it, thought I have to trim it now and again as it's prone to sticking out under the arms. I think if you have it, best to learn to live with it. Anyway some women acually like it!
