Hairy Chests http://isitnormal.com/story/hairy-chests-891/ Try trimming it very closely with a beard trimmer without the guard. That way, you don't get ingrown hairs when it grows back. http://isitnormal.com/story/hairy-chests-891/#comment-150673 2007-08-19 15:19:37 I started everything earily. I was shaving by 13. I am now 15 and my chest hair is growing in fast. I suspect by next year there will be some turning heads in the locker room. This may or may not help considering I come from a hairy chested father. http://isitnormal.com/story/hairy-chests-891/#comment-76602 2007-03-20 21:21:24 About 75% of Caucasian or Hispanic men have some form of chest hair by their early to mid-20s. Some never do. "Beauty trends" dictate men's (and often women's) attitudes toward chest hair. During the 1970s, for instance, a hairy chest was a sign of virility and sexuality, and most "leading men" in Hollywood had hairy chests and show-cased them ad nauseum. By the 1990s, chest hair had fallen out of fashion, and men began secretly shaving and/or waxing. Like most trends, this began in the Gay Male community, and then spread to the straight male world. After a decade and a half of smoothness (most of it artificial) chest hair is making a comeback. Numerous articles have been written in the pupular press regarding this trend, and more and more leading men are showing off their fur again. My advice is to find what makes you sexy, and accentuate it. If that means going against the norm, so be it. There's always someone out there who'll find you attractive, especially if you believe you are. http://isitnormal.com/story/hairy-chests-891/#comment-46246 2006-12-08 17:05:51 Chest hair (like all body hair) is fundamentally different than that which grows on the head. It's essentially beard hair, and tend to be more corse and, of course, not as long. Body hair is a product of two factors: androgen production, and your sensitivity to it. If a person has high androgen levels and moderate to high sensitivity, he/she tends to be hairier. The general patterns are around the nipples, between the pecs, over the pecs, and on the stomach. Women with high levels of androgens (or who are highly sensitive) will sometimes grow a moustache and will get hairs around their nipples from time to time. http://isitnormal.com/story/hairy-chests-891/#comment-46245 2006-12-08 17:05:46 Yum!

That life, u jus get used to it. I would never wax http://isitnormal.com/story/hairy-chests-891/#comment-21909 2006-06-30 03:16:01 Yes, it is normal. I have chest hair and so does my best mate - he use to have it removed now he leaves it by his own chose. I never touched mine never bothered me either way. At twenty my back did to. It is my feet that are too, but either they like them or not, now that can feel odd -not meany have that problem' I got those early on. So I can handle chest hair. That can really turn girls off, Hair feet. http://isitnormal.com/story/hairy-chests-891/#comment-21637 2006-06-26 17:49:21 I am a woman who happens to love hairy men. I also think that guys who wax or shave look like idiots because the HAIR GROWS BACK. There is nothing nastier than a 5 o'clock shadow on some dude's chest. Plus if you are getting it on, I'm sure stubble hurts. Be proud of your hairiness. Display it and pimp it with the ladies. And don't listen to those who would say otherwise. They're clueless... http://isitnormal.com/story/hairy-chests-891/#comment-20395 2006-06-08 22:41:50 I am a 36 year old male, I read somewhere that it is posible to grow chest hair;unlike some guys I'd like to have chest hair;any advice,comments and/or sugestions.. http://isitnormal.com/story/hairy-chests-891/#comment-15507 2006-04-08 15:52:36 It is entirely normal to have chest hair even as a teen, especially if you are an early developer like I was. I started shaving at 13 and had a very hairy chest at 15. I was not ashamed of it. Most of the other guys were envious. Now at 19 my back is hairy too. It turn some girls off, but others really like it http://isitnormal.com/story/hairy-chests-891/#comment-8312 2005-11-04 22:06:40 I can tell you that I, as a 21 year old female would appreciate if you waxed. If I wanted to play with a fury rug, I would. http://isitnormal.com/story/hairy-chests-891/#comment-5874 2005-07-27 20:37:35 It is entirely genetic. Even teenage boys can have hairy chests. Alot of women prefer it, much to my own detriment. http://isitnormal.com/story/hairy-chests-891/#comment-5114 2005-07-11 00:05:32 I'm 23 I have no chest hair and I don't shave my chest at all. I do have hairy legs though. http://isitnormal.com/story/hairy-chests-891/#comment-4851 2005-07-07 12:51:37 It's normal. My friend's 16-year-old brother has a hairy chest. A lot of guys shave their chest. It doesn't grow as quickly as facial hair so their isn't stubble for a couple days. If you don't want it, maybe you can try Nair or something like that. I wouldn't wax it...oh my god. http://isitnormal.com/story/hairy-chests-891/#comment-4758 2005-07-05 15:02:41 At least you don't have a hairy back. Keep in mind that most [young] hairy guys are aware of the fact, self-conscious about it, and tend to avoid taking their shirts off in public. It's normal in the sense that it's not weird, but it's not entirely average. You'll find some girls LIKE it, some think it's disgusting, and many don't care. Don't sweat it. http://isitnormal.com/story/hairy-chests-891/#comment-4480 2005-07-01 09:56:06 Depends mostly on ethnicity. http://isitnormal.com/story/hairy-chests-891/#comment-4381 2005-06-30 16:03:54 I also have a hairy chest, that is why I shave my butt and walk backwards, so it looks like I have a hairy back instead. http://isitnormal.com/story/hairy-chests-891/#comment-4343 2005-06-30 11:56:50 What are your origins' I'm part polish and norwegian, also very hairy. http://isitnormal.com/story/hairy-chests-891/#comment-4340 2005-06-30 11:48:57 Have you tried chemotherapy' http://isitnormal.com/story/hairy-chests-891/#comment-4120 2005-06-27 16:02:06 they might actually have it waxed, which causes the hair to come back thinner. Either way, you are fine and normal. Don't worry about it. http://isitnormal.com/story/hairy-chests-891/#comment-4118 2005-06-27 15:22:08
