Ahhh….There’s hair down there and everywhere!

If you have noticed hair in some places (like private areas, arm pits, legs, face), don’t worry its totally normal.  You’re probably wondering why me? Or maybe you’re excited, either way it’s due to the hormonal changes your bodies going through.

Your body is going though these changes because of puberty.   For guys,  a hormone (testosterone) tells his body to go through changes like,  voice changes, penis size changes, body build changes, height changes ( for some), sperm production,  hair growth in the pubic area, armpits, legs, and on the face

For the ladies, the hormones (estrogen and progesterone) are released and they cause her body to go through certain changes as well.  These changes include the ovaries releasing an egg, the start of her period, breasts growth, her body build changes, height  changes, as well as the hair growth in the pubic area, armpits, legs, and for some women on the face as well( don’t judge).

Some wonder what is the purpose of hair in these  different places on our bodies.  Some people and scientist say that hair growth in these places is a sign of maturity, protection from bacteria/viruses/parasites and some people feel that the hair in these places is just a nuisance and prefer to remove it.

It’s important to remember that everyone is different, which means they may mature or go through puberty at different times, so hair growth will happen at different times.  Some people will have a lot and some with have a little either way it’s all normal and it’s all good.
