Girls get more body hair during their teens. How much hair is determined by heredity.
Most girls get pubic hair anywhere between 8 and 11 years of age. Axillary hair normally starts to appear 1 or 2 years later.
Some girls don’t like it when they get hair on their body, like their legs. They choose to remove it.
Some women suffer from hirsutism. This is a male pattern of hair growth, i.e. on the lip and chin. They may also have excessive hair growth on the rest of their body. Tests may show what’s wrong. If it’s due to too much male hormones or your body is very sensitive to these hormone Diane-35 may help you out (a contraceptive pill blocking the effects of androgenic hormones).

I’m a girl of 16 and getting a moustache. I’m so embarrassed. What can I do about it?
