I am trying to see if I will be capable of growing a beard.?

I am turning 21 in three months and I really can't grow much facial hair. I used to have all blonde hair on my face and now it's been turning dark for a couple of months but it is not thick. The number of hairs on my face is a lot but it is very then and wispy looking. My dad can not really grow a beard either. I have a lot of leg and armpit hair though. The hair on my chin has been thickening and like ten hairs on my cheeks are actually course. Does that mean the wispy hairs will change into course hairs too?

First you need to shave your head.... Sorry, kidding.

Once you start shaving, it just grows thicker, better, faster until eventually you are sorry you ever started.

Good luck

Cheers :-)

they will probably get more coarse, just keep shaving, those whispy hairs grow when you're in puberty and thicken up evertime you shave... try it, might now be more hair (which is a myth) but they do get thicker.

It is one of the few things that will grow without watering, just at different rates for different people

If you want a relatively accurate way of telling before you start growing a beard is to look at the other side of your family tree. The gene for hairiness is found to be passed through the mother, so if you have furry uncles in your mother's side of the family, then there's a good possibility that you would be furry too. Leg hair and armpit hair aren't really good indicators, but that does say that you have a fairly large amount of testosterone, which is a requirement for growing facial hair (but that's not exactly good news since that also means the hair on top of your head is bound to fall off). At 21, you are still bound to get hairier, so don't sweat it if it doesn't come fast enough, there's a certain rate at which you grow hairier, and that's usually dictated by genetics.

Continually shaving will thicken the hair shaft, but it won't accelerate growth or spread, i don't recommend shaving everyday, this will lead to rashes and irritation as the sharp points of the newly shaved hairs try to poke through the raw skin. It hurts like hell. Hair thickens with age, as the hair follicles mature, and it doesn't need constant shaving. About every other day or every three days will be best.
