Facial hair not changing color?

Question

so, i cant grow colored facial hair. im 17, and i feel very out of place in my high school, i think everyone can but me. i shave constantly, and dosnt change color (so that theory is bullsh*t, dont even waste my time saying to shave, it does not grow thicker and darker). ive been able to grow since.. i think around june 2007 (i first noticed that i had a beard that was virtually invisible around july 4th, so im guessing it was about a month before) and still hasnt changed color. same with my chest hair/arm hair. my leg hair is dark, like, really dark, but nothing else is.

any ideas on why it is still not getting darker? :/

Answer 1

The darkness is really only noticable when it's left to grow some. So if you're looking for darkness, leave it a while and as it gets longer you'll notice it being thicker.

Answer 2

Facial hair does not always match head, body, or pubic hair in color. One guy I know has a red beard but everything else is black.

Let your sideburns grow long - even if they are blond or clear, they will show up.

I have a red beard, but the whiskers grow out clear for 1/8" or so, then turn red. My guess is that the pigment has to oxidize to become visible [similar to the plant dye indigo I guess].

If you were late to get puberty [see http://www.fpnotebook.com/Endo/Exam/MlTn... a bit more time may change things.

Answer 3

facial hair is gross.

it's good that you can't see it.

Answer 4

in puberty stage that's why it's referred to as "peach fuzz" ever notice the peach fuzz on a peach, it's so light colored there really is no color.  give your body time to fully grow and then you'll be on here asking how to reduce so much facial hair.
