A member asked:
Can you tell me if a person's lifestyle affects facial hair growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Facial hair grows according to your testosterone level and your genetics. If dad had a thin beard you may too. That said if you engage in behaviors that alter testosterone then yes you can change beard growth but under average conditions no
