I grew my first beard at age 16. Everyone's different I guess

@sitobazito well, considering i didn't start testosterone until i was 21, there was no way for that to happen at that age for me. haha.

Im a guy in my 20's and i dont have any facial hair! lol. I might do a cycle of testosterone for a few months. Maybe im lacking Testosterone? Someone told me that its just genetics and not to worry, but then FTM's always seem to get body and facial hair when on T.

[charlesasher]

@kellyfortune it could be genetics, or you could be low on your testosterone. it's worth going to a doctor to get your testosterone levels checked to see if your levels are low.

a lot of guys need a little "boost" to help them in the facial hair dept, don't worry.

Thanks for including the after shots at the end, looks great! That wind must be cold on your face now. Is that a Dodgers hat? Can you DO that in SF?! Sandoval's gonna thump you!

[charlesasher]

you'd be surprised at the amount of dodger hats in this city!

Did you go for a 70's porn star look? That'd be awesome. I'm glad you are happy the way you are. Also, if the bottom of the chin hasn't grown in yet, don't worry I still don't have that patch growing in and I have been growing out my facial hair since I was 14. 5 years of it growing and I still don't have it. I'm glad the patches missing on your facial hair annoys you, I don't feel alone now. I am and always been a male, but still. Take care!

@rightfredsdead Bro.. lmao im hispanic.. cuban and puerto rican. have some black in me too and im only 18 gonna turn 19 in about 6 days i have enough time. Im also a late bloomer.. I can grow a goatee lock it connect my sideburns but everytime i go and get a haircut i notice that i have more and more little hairs growing from my cheeks.

[rightfredsdead]

@IsHiNe98 doesnt make any difference. you can have incredibly HIGH levels of testosterone and still have no beard growth. its a myth. its a gene problem with the hair. even the barren bits have hair, but its still covered in hair. its just fine. your wasting your time looking for testosterone to help you. at some point you have to accept you wont grow a beard. most chinese dont. you probably have some form of this in your family history.

[IsHiNe98]

eating nuts and almonds are a natural way to increase testosterone.. So is that a good idea at the age for 19??

[IsHiNe98]

@jonnijames Not true at all budy thats a myth shaving has nothing to do with it. You shouldn't shave at age 10 are you a dumbass?

[IsHiNe98]

@rightfredsdead And if you have a low level of testosterone that can affect facial hair growth.

[IsHiNe98]

@rightfredsdead Dude your beard can stop growing anywhere from the age of 21 and up do your research

[rightfredsdead]

@McBane10 nothing. people say testosterone but to be brutally frank, its in your genes. theres nothing you can do. the only worthwhile tip is to finely shave the bare areas as these will still contain follicles, but are fine. you can continually shave your cheeks, throat for weeks / months in an attempt to thicken it. it is there, but it is too fine to see. other than that your fucked. women will dump you and if you cant grow one by 20 you probably never will. sorry.
