Yes, everyone has butt hair. Once puberty hits, hair begins to grow in all kinds of ~specific~ places (like on your underarms, legs, pubic area, face, and, yes, butt). It's 100 percent normal (and expected) and we promise that you, your crush, and your besties all have butt hair.
If you've noticed dark and long hair growth around the butt area, it can be due to hormonal changes. Hormonal changes can occur due to various reasons, ranging from puberty and menstruation to pregnancy and menopause. These changes can trigger hair growth anywhere in your body, including your buttocks.
Most people grow hair around their anus and on their buttocks. This is completely normal. Butt hair may cause embarrassment to some people, but it may not bother others at all.
If you find yourself wanting to remove the hair on your butt, there are several good options available to you. Waxing, the most popular choice, will last a long time and is quick, but it's also a bit pricey. Shaving is a great way to remove those hairs at home and is cost-efficient.
Vellus hair (peach fuzz) is fine, short hair that grows all over your body, including your face, stomach, arms and legs. Vellus hair helps regulate your body temperature and protects your skin. Excess vellus hair growth can be a sign of some health conditions, such as Cushing's syndrome.
Careful peach fuzz removal can help stimulate the skin in this area and let your products penetrate more easily. Peach fuzz can also eventually get in the way of your skincare products working the way they should. So with the right facial hair removal, you can get brighter and glowy looking skin in a matter of minutes.
Shaving, whether it's your legs, armpits, or pubic area, is a personal choice. You certainly don't have to shave before sex if you don't want to. Shaving pubic hair (or not) is a cosmetic preference, and it does not mean you are "cleaner" if you shave. If you do prefer to shave, try not to do it right before sex.
Mary Jane Minkin, told us, “the most common cause of excessive pubic hair in young women is PCOS, or polycystic ovarian syndrome, which is associated with higher testosterone levels (yes, women make testosterone—and men do make estrogen, too).
According to board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist Dr. Felice Gersh, MD, there is a “basic normal amount” of female pubic hair. She explains, "Typically it should cover all of the labia majora to the inner surface of the thighs and up to the pubic bone-roughly shaped like a triangle."
Some teens don't do anything with their pubic hair, leaving it to grow naturally. Some girls remove hair when they'll be wearing a bathing suit, and some remove hair regularly as part of their beauty routine. No health benefits are linked to removing pubic hair, so choose what feels right for you.
Trim between 2mm and 6mm lengths for neat and tidy pubic hair.
To keep the pubic area smooth and hairless, you'll need to shave regularly, even daily. Consider if this is worth the trouble; it may become tedious after four or five weeks.
Pubic hair may extend out to their thighs, and some girls may have a line of hair up to their belly button. Most girls attain their peak height by age 16, but some may continue growing through age 20.
How long is a typical pubic hair? Most pubes grow between half an inch and 1.5 inches, according to Steixner.
There is no such thing as a 'normal' amount of pubic hair. This is a personal choice and one that you can make on your own. You shouldn't feel pressure one way or another.
Myth 4: Pubic hair never stops growing
Your pubic hair won't keep growing forever to endless lengths. Pubic hair stops growing when it reaches a certain point. The length at which it halts varies from person to person, but it stops between 0.5 to two inches.
There's no set time for girls to begin shaving. You can start shaving when you feel you have enough hair growth on your legs and/or armpits to shave it off.
Dermaplaning. The stars love a good dermaplaning session because it removes all traces of peach fuzz and dead skin, which creates the perfect canvas for makeup. This at-home device gets the job done just as well as a professional and you don't have to schedule countless follow-up appointments.
Pubic hair holds on to residual urine, vaginal discharge, blood and semen. Bacteria line up all along the hair shaft just lunching it up and creating odor. (Very appetizing, I know.) Trimming your pubic hair reduces that surface area for bacteria, thus reducing odor.

Also, 3% of women and 21% of men had never removed their pubic hair. Lesbian women reported slightly more often than heterosexual or bisexual women. Bisexual men were most likely to go hairless.
