Finding sprouting chin hair is a strange phenomenon.
However, it’s a part of normal human biology.
Body hair is made up of two types of hair (viaCleveland Clinic).
Vellus hair is very fine hair that encompasses the entire body and is often found on the chin.
It’s also what some call peach fuzz, and it tends to stay short.
It covers the skin like a light, fluffy blanket.
Why terminal hairs pop up on the chin
Terminal hair is quite the opposite of vellus hair.
It’s longer, darker, and more pronounced.
Terminal hairs make up the eyebrows, eyelashes, and hair on the head.
All of this is an entirely normal biological process.
All people have both male and female hormones that change regularly, particularly so during transitional periods in life.
While everyone has both types of body hair, the amount differs for each individual.
How much vellus and terminal hair one has is also dependent on genes and ethnicity.
Many times, there is no cause for concern.
