Did you mean Chest Hair?

GlossaryChest Hair

hair that grows on the chest, mainly in males

Chest hair, also known as pectoral hair, refers to the hair that grows on the chest area of humans, primarily in males. This type of body hair typically begins to develop during puberty due to increased levels of androgens, particularly testosterone. The density and pattern of chest hair can vary widely among individuals and is influenced by genetic and hormonal factors.
