Facial Hair Growth

[Lost]

I recently found out certain people can grow facial hair in only certain areas.. LOL
im guessing the way it grows is different too?
anyways...can anyone give me more information on this?
mine grows really slow... just in sideburns area..... neck/jawline(i think?) .... and maybe mustache area really slowly... but NONE under the lips.... and i only got peach fuzz under the cheeks. after a week if i didnt shave the place under my cheeks is white lol.

Its mostly genetic, and I believe influenced by the amount of testosterone your body produces. Lifting weights actually caused my facial hair to thicken and grow faster (but not dramatically). You're only 18 though, it'll probably thicken up either way.

What you are describing is a condition called alopecia areata where men develop patches of hair on their face. It affects about 10% of men and prevents them from growing full beards. It is a condition your born with and your stuck with for life.

Your only 18 so i wouldn't worry. It may thicken as you get older.

I FVCKEN WISH I HAD THAT "DISORDER" that aint no disorder man.

FlyGuy you said that having alot of facial hair is due to high testosterone...... Is this scientifically true?
Ive had insane amounts of facial hair since about 13.....

I wish my sideburns were thicker...cause I like to rock the sideburns, and it's tough to when I have such thin facial hair.

I wish i could grow facial hair of any kind!

I'm 18, can see a few black hairs (like 3 or 4) where my left sideburn should be. And thats it.

Testosterone is one influencing factor, yes. But its not the only piece of the equation...
