A beard is the collection of hair that grows on the chin, cheeks and neck, but not the upper lip, typically of men. Usually, only males going through puberty or post-pubescent males are able to grow beards. However, women with hirsutism may develop a beard. When differentiating between upper and lower facial hair, a beard specifically refers to the facial hair on the lower part of a man's chin (excluding the moustache, which refers to hair above the upper lip and around it). The study of beards is called pogonology. In the course of history, men with facial hair have been ascribed various attributes such as wisdom and knowledge, sexual virility, masculinity, or high social status; and, conversely, filthiness, crudeness, or an eccentric disposition. BiologyThe beard develops during puberty. Beard growth is linked to stimulation of hair follicles in the area by dihydrotestosterone, which continues to affect beard growth after puberty. Hair follicles from different areas vary in what hormones they are stimulated or inhibited by; dihydrotestostorone also promotes balding. Dihydrotestosterone is produced from testosterone, the levels of which vary with season; thus beards grow faster in summer. How fast the beard grows is also genetic. HistoryFrom Wikipedia under the

I am willing to give it a shot...Thanks. Asked by 1Life2Live - Mon Apr 27 23:04:25 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Shave it. Once you shave something, the hair grows in thicker and coarser. And the hair on your face is supposed to me coarse, its not like the hair on your arms where its soft.

Planets Answered by Planets - Fri Jan 15 00:36:04 2010 How do you rate your beard growing abilities on a scale of 1 to 10?
Q. I am 22 years old and I would say I go an average beard at best. The mustache is pretty thin and while it goes all the way to my neck, it doesn't really go as high as the mustache anywhere on my cheek until you get very close to the sideburns. Also, overall I'd say it's mid thickness. I would personally give myself a 4 out of 10. I am just wondering how you guys would rate your beard if you have ever seen yourself with one.
