Men begin to grow facial hair during the age of 11 or 12 years onwards, and facial hairs continue to develop until early 20s. Usually teen facial hairs are sparse, patchy and uneven.  Some areas have thin facial hair and some are thick. If you are in your 20s and you still lack facial hair, you might have a hormonal condition, skin conditions and circulation problems.  Of course, it might also just be the genetics.

The most common reason is low testosterone level for men. If this is the reason why you have excessively thin facial hair, you can consult your doctor for a testosterone test before a hormonal supplement is recommended.

Now in terms of skin problems, this can also affect the growth of facial hair. Psoriasis and eczema can give you uneven facial hair growth. In some severe cases, permanent hair loss is experienced. Consult a dermatologist for the proper treatment of the skin.

Alopecia is a condition wherein it affects hair loss on the head but it can also affect the facial hairs. Men who have Alopecia may have uneven facial hair patches or they can completely lose their facial hair.

Increasing the blood flow and oxygen in the area of your face can stimulate more hair growth. You can do this by massaging that area and increase the blood flow.  Consider wrapping a hot towel around your face to open up those blood vessels and get more oxygen flowing through your facial skin.  It’s also a great way to moisturize your face and prep it for shaving.
