Vellus hair, also referred to as peach fuzz, is the fine, thin, light-colored hair that covers the majority of the body, including the face, arms, stomach, and legs. Vellus hair also tends to be very short and is usually no longer than 2 millimeters. In Latin, vellus means "fleece" or "wool."
One of the primary functions of vellus hair is body temperature regulation, particularly during cold weather. Vellus hair is instrumental in perspiration. When a hair follicle is open, sweat coats the vellus hair and then evaporates, wicking away the sweat. Vellus hair also acts as a sensory function of the skin by alerting you if there's an insect crawling on your arm and registering the sensation of goosebumps.
The only parts of the body that don't contain hair follicles are the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet, behind the ears, the forehead, eyelids, nose, lips, the bellybutton, some parts of the genitals and scar tissue.
Hair follicles exist within the dermis—the second layer of skin—and they house stem cells, blood vessels, sebaceous glands, and hair. Vellus hair follicles, however, are not connected to sebaceous glands and therefore do not produce sebum or oil. The hair within the follicle is the living part of the hair. The hair you can see is actually dead.1
The majority of hair on the human body is vellus hair. Vellus hair is the hair that exists and grows during childhood, unlike terminal hair, which is influenced by hormones and appears during puberty.
Hair growth is one of the many changes that occurs during puberty.2 Increased hormone production—androgens, in particular—cause vellus hair to turn to terminal hair on certain parts of the body, including the armpits and pubic area. The vellus hair, which was once smooth and light, becomes coarser, darker and longer. The increase in androgens also causes hairs to develop subcutaneous glands that lubricate hair with oil, which is why puberty and acne go hand in hand.
Females tend to retain more vellus hair than males. Increased hormone production during pregnancy can turn vellus hair into terminal hair, although that hair usually sheds once the baby is born and the female's hormone levels are back to normal. For males, terminal hair grows at a greater rate on more parts of the body, including the face, chest, back, legs, arms, hands, and feet.
Sometimes vellus hair growth is abnormal and can be a sign of disease.3 For example, increased vellus hair growth can be attributed to an abundance of adrenal hormones in the bloodstream, a condition known as Cushing's syndrome. Anorexia nervosa may also increase the production of vellus hair. The hormonal influence of androgens on hair follicles in conditions of male pattern baldness results in a reversion of scalp hair from terminal to vellus hair.

Timing will vary, but stages of development won't
As your son approaches his teens, body odor and fuzz sprouting from his chin may herald the arrival of puberty.

But some of his classmates may already have major facial hair. How do you know everything’s progressing “normally” for your son?
Pediatrician Veronica Issac, MD, says while the timing of puberty varies widely, the order of physical changes usually does not. Most children follow a certain developmental path.
Doctors can give parents a general timeline on what to expect. Here, she explains how to tell when things are proceeding normally and which signs may point to a problem.
Boys tend to begin and end puberty about two years later than girls, generally between ages 13 and 18. African-American and Hispanic children tend to enter puberty earlier than Caucasian children.
A tool called the Tanner Stages outlines the stages of puberty for boys and girls, and when they are likely to occur. They can serve as a guide to the changes you can expect for your son.
Stage 1. In this “prepubescent” stage, boys have not experienced any changes.
Stage 2. In this stage, typically beginning between ages 9½ and 14½, boys experience:
Stage 3. In this stage, occurring between ages 10 and 16½, boys experience:
“Some breast development may occur in about 50 percent of all teenage boys, but it typically resolves by the end of puberty,” notes Dr. Issac. “If this becomes an issue physically or socially, suggest that your son talk with his healthcare provider.”
Stage 4. In this stage, which can occur between ages 11 and 16½. boys experience:
Stage 5. During this stage, boys finish their growth and development and are physically adults. Facial hair may not develop in some boys until this stage.
Most boys finish growing by age 17. But some have issues that cause them to start puberty much earlier or later than normal. If your son’s puberty is progressing very quickly or if changes seem to happen “out of order,” talk to your pediatrician.
Problems that affect boys’ growth and development include precocious and delayed puberty.
If your son shows signs of puberty before his 9th birthday, visit the pediatrician. This may signal a pituitary problem or neurological issue, notes Dr. Issac. The doctor should evaluate your son as soon as you suspect a problem. Possible causes for early puberty include:
If the problem is hormonal, an endocrinologist can prescribe medication to halt puberty until the time is right. If your doctor suspects another problem, your son may be referred for further testing.
If your son starts puberty after age 14 or isn’t progressing through puberty, you’ll also want to check with your doctor. “Often the child is merely a late bloomer — particularly if dad was as well,” says Dr. Issac. But hormone or endocrine abnormalities can also delay puberty.
If your doctor suspects an underlying problem, your son will likely be referred to a specialist for more testing.
Whenever your son enters puberty, you can expect to see some emotional upheaval. Increased testosterone, coupled with social pressures, may cause moody behavior, emotional outbursts and family discord.
Parents can typically ride out these issues. “However, if serious emotional problems arise — if your son doesn’t want to do the things he usually enjoys, or hang out with his friends or experiences a drop in grades — medication or therapy can improve his mood,” she notes.
Don’t hesitate to talk to your pediatrician when you have concerns about your son’s progress through puberty, says Dr. Issac. A physical exam and other tests will help to rule out problems, pinpoint underlying issues or provide you with reassurance.
