Facial Hair

[Harry Yard]

Hi, my name is Harry, I am 14 and I am from London, England.

I've always thought of myself as an early bloomer or whatever you call people who hit puberty early. I have a lot of leg hair, underarm hair, pubic hair and anus hair. I have little arm hair and hardly any chest hair. My question is, should I expect to start shaving my face yet? I have a noticable amount of blond hairs on my upper lip, lower lip and chin. I also have hair on the sides of my face but it's not as long and quite light. So should I expect my facial hair to get darker, thicker and longer anytime soon?

Also when facial hair does come, what colour will it be. My head is ginger but my eyebrows, pubes and armpit hair are dark brown. So will my facial hair be ginger or brown?

Kk first thing, i would't recommend having your full name as a user name. If you want to change it, make a post in VT HQ forum :)

second, i'd expect your hair to turn out dark brown considering your eyebrows etc. (but that's not definate)
If you did shave, it would grow back thicker and quicker so if you don't want a tash/beard at this stage i'd leave it for a while unless you think you can keep up with the shaving. It's a bitch after a while

Make sure you use warm water and shaving foam if using a normal razor - don't use electric yet

Ok thanks but will the hair start to get thicker and darker by it's self without me shaving any time soon? When I run my hand across my cheek I can definitly feel quite a bit of hair but it's not visably clear.

it will get thicker naturally but if you shave this'll happen quicker. (haha we got the FA cup final this year again - hehe sorry im from cardiff) anyway...totally up to you though how you want it to turn out

thats actually a myth. i watched a programme about it.

[WelshLad]

a myth?? it happened to me

[redcar]

i know it appears to be true, but scientists say otherwise.

[WelshLad]

well my face says otherwise

[Harry Yard]

Ok thanks guys, so could anyone give a rough estimate as to how long it will be untill it will begin to grow naturally darker, thicker and longer.

[WelshLad]

varies from guy to guy so i couldn't say really. chances are it's probably already growing just reallllly slow

[Harry Yard]

Ok, I will probably shave it off soon because I don't like people commenting on it. It doesn't look weird but people comment on it because hardly anyone else my age has this much hair. I can get used to shaving on a regular basis.

[WelshLad]

i shave every other night usually (i'm 16 1/2)

[Harry Yard]

Ok cool, what age did your facial hair start becoming noticable enough to need shaving?

[WelshLad]

uhhh 14 i think but 15 when i started shaving

[Harry Yard]

Ok cool thanks
