Facial Hair Growth
Sunday, April 15, 2012
Of the many secondary sexual characteristics, associated with the onset of puberty in the males of our species, facial hair is the most prominently visible. It marks the beginning of a boy’s journey towards manhood.
Facial hair growth is fairly sparse to begin with, and generally men develop a complete adult beard in their 20’s and in some cases even later. Some boys develop facial hair faster than others and this can bring about embarrassing consequences for the late bloomers. But unfortunately, there is no tried and tested way to stimulate facial hair growth.
The rate at which facial hair grows is primarily determined by one’s genetics. Testosterone, among other things, is the hormone responsible for hair growth both on the body and the face. Although there are ways to introduce more testosterone into the body artificially, it is not generally recommended as it can have some fairly unhealthy side-effects. The good news is that your overall physical health does have some bearing on facial hair growth and so if you maintain a well balanced diet and engage in regular exercise, chances are that this will help with the promotion of facial hair.
Now one may ask,” What about Facial Hair growth products?” As far as these are concerned there are no known products that guarantee the stimulation of facial hair. Hair on the head is different from facial hair, and so conventional hair growth products will not work on one’s face. The growth of facial hair is a natural process and in this case patience is truly a virtue.
On the other hand, some women also experience some growth of hair on their face and quite understandably so want to try and stop facial hair growth. Before trying to get rid of it, you should first consult your medical practitioner to check if the facial hair just happens to be genetic or there is another underlying problem of which the facial hair only happens to be a symptom. It could be the outcome of abnormal hormonal variation or it could be something more serious like diabetes or even PCOD; that is Polly Cystic Ovary Disease. If this is the case then once the disease or illness is treated the facial hair growth should stop automatically. And if not associated with any illness or disorder, then there are a number of treatments that can be done at home to either get rid of the facial hair or stop it altogether.
