Sometimes hair grows where it is not wanted and removing the unwanted hair can be difficult and time-consuming. What constitutes hair growth as “excessive” varies by the individual, her lifestyle and the society in which she lives. Most American women regularly remove hair from their legs, underarms, bikini line and eyebrows; whereas European women tend to let body hair grow untended. No one method is correct; this just illustrates the difference in the definition of excessive hair. - - - - - - - - - - - - Back to Top - - - - - - - - - - - - Possible Causes of Hair Growth Hair growth is determined by the amount of male hormones in the body, thus excess hair growth is determined by genetics. An imbalance of male and female hormones in the body can also result in excess hair growth. Pregnancy, endocrine problems, polycystic ovary syndrome, some medications and post-menopause can also cause excess hair growth. - - - - - - - - - - - - Back to Top - - - - - - - - - - - - Possible Symptoms of Hair Growth The most common areas of the body where excess hair grows is on the face, upper lip, chin, ears, legs, underarms, back, chest and pubic region. Dark hair is much more visible than light-colored hair, so people with brunette or black hair tend to notice excess hair growth more than blondes and red-heads. - - - - - - - - - - - - Back to Top - - - - - - - - - - - - Possible Lifestyle Changes for Hair Growth There are steps people can take to inhibit hair growth and reduce the amount of time and attention required for continual hair removal. Many people remove excess hair by shaving, but this can increase the potential for ingrown hairs and unsightly razor bumps. Tweezing and waxing are other common forms of hair removal. Some women find bleaching the hair is sufficient. - - - - - - - - - - - - Back to Top - - - - - - - - - - - - In accordance with FDA regulation, we do not make any therapeutic claims for any Dietary Supplements in accordance with the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act.
