18 and still no facial hair?

If you truly have none at all, and you're male, I do think it sounds like a possible issue. Maybe low testosterone? I really do not know, but I do think it would be worth mentioning.

If it's just very faint or sparse, I would not worry at all. Some men are much hairier than others. My ex husband could not grow a goatee properly until he was almost 30. My husband now had a full beard in 7th grade.

I'll trade you some back hair for not having to shave my face...

seriously though, I'd ask a doctor.

so no razor burn? sounds good to me

It's hard to keep a baby face. Shaving is a hassle. Enjoy it while you can.

I was 30 before I could grow a full beard

I wish I didn't have to shave!

Show us a pic.

Not having a lot of hair is a not a bad thing. I bet you are very attractive.


*yeah, the cougar came out of me on this one, but I'm not into hairy guys. LOL!

Agreed and im not even a cougar lol

my facial hair started growing up wen I was 13-14.. -.-

I've been shaving since I was 13 damn years old. I'd happily trade. Enjoy the saving on razors and time in the morning while it lasts.

I dated a guy in high school who was about 18. he was a skinny, skinny, geeky kid and he probably wasn't growing much in the wa yof facial hair, either.

He is now quite manly.

You're young. Give it time.

dont sweat it dude.

im 35 and only shave once a week (i start to look "dirty around thursday")
when i was a kid i always looked forward to shaving everyday and equated it to manliness.

tbh, im stoked and friends envy my baby face.

i have no upper body hair at all...nothing on the back, shoulders, or chest.
this pleases both me and my wife.

i wouldnt worry.

ETA: and by "shave", i mean that i use the same clippers with no attachment that i use on my head once a week...so in reality im not even shaving, per se.

My husband is the same way (just turned 39). He can't grow a full beard and only has to shave every 2 or 3 days. And now that it's goatee season, he'll shave even less often. No upper body hair except pits and some arm hair. Lower body is more hairy but his upper thighs are pretty much bare. And I'm very happy about it! Body hair is not my thing...

Also, I know guys who have random patches of no hair that just seems to run in their family so it could just be genetics. My friend Brian has no hair on his lower legs. We thought it was from wearing high socks but even in the summer when he goes without socks more often than not, there is no hair there. He said his brother and Dad are the same way. And most of the guys on my father's side of the family are mostly hairless too. Wish I got more of those genes - I hate shaving!

OP, I wouldn't make a special appointment about it but put it on your list of questions for when you go in for an annual check-up. Might not hurt to ask if it's a hormone thing and see if they can check to see if your testosterone levels are up to snuff.

It's genetics. My ex had little to NO facial hair. All he would get is a few whiskers above his lip.. It grew in all white trashy like that..

I'm laughing XD haha.. Wow, the way that was put :P

You're one of the lucky ones. Clean shaves for us bears last about 2 hours max, and the beards don't just stop on our faces but fill in every inch of our bodies. Cursed. Then you hit 40 and get even more hair, but the dang hair on our heads starts to thin forcing us to shave them clean as a babies bottom. So then you have to grow a goatee so you look like Heisenberg, or get a neck tattoo for the basasswhiteboy look which forces you to walk around looking angry to complete it.

Then you have to deal with this weird genetic malfunction among females that happen to like all this hair, like my wife. I've been trying to get rid of her for 25 years now but she refuses to leave. I blame the hair, starting with the beard.

Yeah dude, it's a curse for sure. It's impossible for me to even think about looking metrosexual.
