Hello everyone.

I am 19 years old, a freshman in college and still cannot grow leg hair. I am already shaving and still have white stubbles for leg hair. Is there a reason for this, because it is really annoying.

Thanks in advance.

I've heard of guys trying "stimulants" (like Rogaine) on their legs but not hearing feedback as to it's success or not.

Stuff like Rogaine is designed to stimulate the hair follicles to help achieve longer and thicker hair (not add new hair, though)... so technically it could work.

Certainly worth a try!

Hi,
What you are experiencing is normal. We are all different, and not all gets leg hair until later in life, maybe a couple years more. It is not uncommon.
I tried Rogaine on my head many years ago, and it did have a little success in growing hair. But, the regimen of doing certains things every single day with it, while taking a shower, wasn't worth it in the long run... not for me, at least.

Don't think of it as necessarily a bad thing lol, I take alotta **** for having hairy legs at my age. Could go both ways..

Heredity! Just as height, skin color, facial features, body proportions,
And so on. My son has a sandpaper beard that he inherited from his grandfather. He has his mother's hands and the high cheekbone's and Taino eyes of his grandmother on my side. Has his mother's pale skin. Has my hairy legs which I got from my father. All these things are determined at conception when the sperm and ovum chromosomes pair up and some are dominant while others are recessive.

I know it's hard not to worry about it but women find a man's personality far more important than how much hair he has on his legs. Concentrate on becoming interesting in that area and you should be at no disadvantage.


Excerpt


In the months and years following the appearance of pubic hair, other areas of skin which respond to androgens develop heavier hair in roughly the following sequence: underarm (axillary) hair, perianal hair, upper lip hair, sideburn (preauricular) hair, periareolar hair, and the rest of the beard area. Arm, leg, and back hair become heavier more gradually. There is a large range in amount of body hair among adult men, and significant differences in timing and quantity of hair growth among different ethnic groups

BTW

Don't forget to take your concern to a physician.

(All this said sort of tentatively, being the first female to check in with comments here :o )

I have noticed men's legs all my life so early on I was aware of the hair variation. Like all SUPERFICIAL things that vary (which on a male human body is quite a lot, well female too!) it became pretty close to non-criteria in my selection of who I was attracted to.

My husband will tell you when he met me (we were both in our thirties) that while he had sufficient hair on his arms and legs, he oddly grew more chest hair. He jokes that I put it there too! LOL (and I am never quite sure that is a compliment or not? :eek: )

Anyway, the guys are all on target here and I think it really is about WHO you are, not how you are packaged too. :)

I assure you that coming from a man that is 100% a compliment.
