HAIR GROWTH (not weird I swear)

HI SO.

This may sound odd, but stick with me.

For future reference, I’m 15 and my school has not yet taught my grade Sex Ed or anything about puberty. I learned everything from my online public school friends.

This is gonna sound bizarre, but my hair grows really fast. Like pubic hair and the hair on my head.

When I was little I loved having long hair, but my Mom always made me get a hair cut every 3/4 months. She said it always grew so fast. I used to cut about 2 inches every time. My hair stylist said my hair was healthy, but I would grow 2-3 inches in that short time period. No clue if that’s normal or not, but she sounded surprised.

Fast forward to talking about puberty with friends in fourth grade. One of my friends mentioned she just started getting pubic hair and my other friends agreed. They talked about how weird it was, but I like wasn’t paying attention. I got pubic hair in first grade. Like a decent amount. And I started shaving in early fifth because of how long it was.

I started out shaving once every 15 days, but it grew back way too fast. My mom told me it was normal so o switched to every other week, and I still do that now. It’s been exactly 1 week since I last shaved. I remember thinking I did a great job since I couldn’t see any stubble and only had 1 razor burn. (Omfg I swear I used to get like a ton of razor bumps and so many burns. It hurt wearing jeans. Then I started using a shaving gel, but we’ll get to that later) It has grown back SO much since then. I feel like I gotta shave again!

(Not sure if this matters, but I shave the sides and cut the middle with scissors)

I mentioned it to my Mom and she looked kind of like 😶 but then quickly told me everything’s fine.

Am I just worrying or is this not normal?

If it’s not normal, then what causes it? Is it like a genetic thing or just a rare thing where hair grows really fast?

One of my friends said since she’s Italian her hair grows super fast.

Could it be something like that? My family’s like the definition of a mixing pot. I’m Italian, Irish, English, Slovakian, Swedish, German, and Russian.

Could it be the shaving gel I use? It says nothing about hair growth and only to prevent shaving burns, cuts, and bumps.

(It’s called Coochie Plus and it’s made from aloe vera leaves. I know this isn’t that helpful lmao)

I’m probably just stressing for no reason, but I’d like some confirmation that everything is good lmao

I probably sound insane, but yeah. Thanks to anyone that actually reads this
