Title: Ftm: Face/body hair (odd questions)
Post by: Perceval_of_Wales on May 17, 2019, 08:21:43 AM
Okay so I'm 16 and almost 8 months on T. I'm starting to notice some things with my facial and body hair and wanted to notice if anyone else has these happen like...
-My hair is coming in faster on the left side of my face than the right, has anybody else had this issue?
-It's taking forever for my leg hair to come in on the backs of my calves but is at cis male amounts on the rest of my leg, has anybody else had this issue?
-When am I gonna start getting more hair on my arms?
-I use trans/KT tape, will constantly using that cause hair growth problems on my chest in the future?
-Should I shave my peach fuzz (and the little bit of stubble that I actually have, or let it grow for month or two and see how much stubble I can get?

As i have observed my 18yr old son as his facial hair is growing its far thicker on one side than the other at present, but it should even itself out over the coming years. Facial hair takes quite a while to actually mature into something normal.
Myself i have very little hair on back of my calves even at 50, so you never know everyones body hair grows in different patterns, some are very hairy, others are not. I tend to have little arm hair at all, but do have too much chest hair.

I was in my 50's before I could grow anything resembling a full beard.
Most everyone's body is uneven on everything. Hair, body, pain, everything. For example, one foot bigger than the other. The hair on my head, my right side grows faster and comes in thicker.
Calves, I never had much leg hair on there .. hair everywhere else, even my back :O

now I dream and wish for it all to just fall out. At least some of that is coming true. No chest or back hair anymore !! YAY!!

For you, I hope you get all that you wish for. I don't recommend wishing to be a fur ball though, but hey, it's your body :D

Yeah at 16 you're on the young age for any male, cis or not, to get a decent beard. I started mine at 18 but it still took awhile to fill in. At 65 my body is becoming hairier than ever. Don't get hung up comparing yourself to older men.
Enjoy!

I was about 28 when I had to start my first feeble shaving trials.  I did not really had any beard growth until I was in my mid thirty.
  It is similar with my son, a big and burly guy, but he could not start to grow enough facial hair for any kind of beard before he was 32!
