I recently dropped down to 69kg, the lowest i've ever been in my adult life and even though I haven't had a bf% calculation, I'm pretty sure I'm at single digits.
Since dropping from 78kg to 69kg, I have noticed a slow but steady increase in the rate at which my facial hair is growing. Up until 3 months ago, I needed a full 10 days to get the "9 to 3" o'clock shadow, and now, I get it in just 4! that means my facial hair is growing more than twice as fast as before.
I'm not on any supplements, just your basic low-carb, low-kcal, medium fat, high protein diet and basic weight training.
So my obvious question is: does bf% or weight in general play a part in facial hair growth-rate?
I'm 25 by the way, and NEVER been particularly hairy anywhere on my body (I still don't have more than a 5-6 visible hairs on my upper lip and my chest only got hairs about 5 years ago).
