Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

Facial hair is hair grown on the face, usually on the chin, cheeks, bottom lip and upper lip region. It is typically a secondary sex characteristic of human males. Men typically start developing facial hair in the later stages of puberty or adolescence, at around 14 years of age, and most do not finish developing a full adult beard until around age 16 or later. However, large variations can occur; boys as young as 10 have also been known to develop facial hair, and some men do not produce much facial hair at all.
