No beard at 20

Published by

I am a 20-year-old man. While my other mates have grown beard, I am yet to grow one. Not even a few strands of hair. Please help me. I urgently need a beard.

Having Facial Hair, especially beards have to do more with genetics than hormones or age. It is believed that the ability to have it is strongly dependent on how one’s father and grandfather had their own.

Therefore, if you have no beards at twenty, then it has to do with your genes and there is very little you can do about it. In extreme cases, some ‘beardless’ men seek for artificial transplant through surgery.
