During puberty, boys start to grow longer, darker and coarser hair on their legs, genitals, arms, face and their chest. In boys and men, the first hair that grows on their face is quite soft, slow-growing and usually on the upper lip and chin. Even if you do not want to grow a moustache and beard, you probably will not need to remove this very often. Later on, you will get darker, thicker, faster-growing hair over a larger area of the face. If you do not want to grow a moustache and beard, you will probably need to remove this hair daily. Most boys and men remove this facial hair by shaving with razors. You can buy these razors at chemists and supermarkets. Scraping the skin every day with a sharp blade can cause it to become irritated, which is why most boys and men use shaving foam or shaving gel to help the blade slide over the skin easily.
Removing of the hair
As guys go through puberty, they start growing hair in just about every place you thought it would be impossible to grow, such as arms, legs, chest, belly underarms, pubic area, thighs. This means body hair will grow almost everywhere. Probably the most common concern about hair is when it is going to come in, and how much of hair will be there. As unfortunate as it is, it is absolutely impossible to tell so for the most part, you will just have to wait and see. However, if you are really desperate, then you can always ask your father. While it is not a given, sometimes sons and their fathers share a good bit of the same traits. If you're father is pretty hairy, you might be too, and if he is not so hairy, you might not be either. While it is by no means fool-proof, it can at least give you idea. For now, you must know that hair comes in at all different places in all sorts of different orders. Therefore, just because you have underarm hair, and some friend does not, but he has facial hair, does not mean you will be getting facial hair next. You could get hair on your arms, or legs, or just about anywhere as you have already hear. Then comes the second most popular question, whether it should be shaved off or not; the only one who can answer that is you, it is absolutely 100% personal preference. Some people like being hairy because they think it makes them look older and more manly. In the same time, others like being smoothe because they think it is more attractive. There is no given what type girls like better, just like with guys, it is a personal preference thing for girls as well. However, if you do want to shave it, be careful. Just like with using a blade on anything it will cut the skin if you try and move too fast. Use some shaving cream, and take your time for this process. You can shave just about anywhere, but be aware that it will itch when the hair grows back. Because of that, a lot of people prefer to trim their hairs instead of shave completely. This is most common when it comes to pubic hair, but off course it can apply anywhere. Generally though, it is only useful if you already have a good amount of hair. The most common myth about hair and shaving it is that it will grow back thicker and faster, which is absolutely not true and has no merit. While it might look thicker, and maybe darker, it actually is not. It is just that your eyes playing tricks on you.
You can do just about anything you want with your body hair, it is going to come in at it's own rate, and you cannot change that, but you can wait. After it is in, you can shave, trim, or leave it, it is all up to you.
