Sunburns on face can inhibit the growth of my facial hair, harm or make it grow slower?

No: No is the short answer. but repeated sunburns (or sunbeds!)will make your skin age faster

Not to worry: Sunburn does not reach to the hair roots and will not affect hair growth. It may bleach the hair already there and cause some hair shaft brittleness but that will only be temporary.
