Why cant i grow hair on my chin?

Are you one of those people who get beard envy when you see a friend rocking a full-grown, thick and healthy beard? Do you look in the mirror every day hoping that your whiskers will start making an appearance so you can finally impress everyone with your rugged good looks? Well, we’re sorry to tell you, but not all of us are blessed with facile follicles. So why exactly can’t you grow hair on your chin? Here’s everything you need to know.

Simply genetics

We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but it is what it is – your genes play a major role in determining how much facial hair growth (if any) occurs. This applies to both sexes but more prominently affects men. Your DNA determines how many hair follicles are present just beneath your skin and produces hormones responsible for different types of hair growth.

It’s All About Androgens

The hormone most associated with male characteristics like muscle strength and body/facial hair development is testosterone. Testosterone plays two significant roles: stimulating beard-hair growth during puberty by long-term activation of “facial-follicle stem cells,” according to studies; and promoting ”terminal” or longer/thicker hairs post-puberty from sleeping follicles which become active due to hormonal changes.

But did you also know that women produce testosterone too albeit lesser quantities than men? Rather than enhancing their manliness quotient though; female exposure at certain points in adulthood can lead to increased facial hair density if they suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome or other endocrine disorders such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia etc.

Despite naturally higher levels generally correlated between male-born individuals’ physical attributes vis-a-vis estrogen-dominant features while others predominantly involved towards Y-chromosome linked-linked traits manifested via rising manifesting DHT concentrations once puberty hits.

Hormonal Changes with Age

Just like your skin ages overtime triggering wrinkles, sagginess and lasting hyperpigmentation; hormonal fluctuations happen to our body just the same way – may take longer to manifest but they will occur at some point. For men, decreasing testosterone levels due to aging is also one of the main reasons for beard hair thinning or baldness. This can lead to patches that become more visible over time, making it harder for you to grow out a proper beard. As age increases beyond 50s semen volume gradually declines by about 30%, sex drive frequency reduces eventually leading up on average to around one erection per two week period (coitus notwithstanding).

Depending on lifestyle choices including drinking large quantities alcohol consumption/ smoking regularly etc along with other genetic factors sometimes post-pubescent males too suffer from declining follicle-stem cell activity hence experiencing lacklustre growth of facial hair quality wise if not quantity-wise thereby reducing once proud manly characteristics as well!

Check If You Are Doing Everything Right

While genetics play a major role in determining how much facial hair growth potential we possess there are a few ways we can encourage development albeit covered primarily in certain lifestyle habits sans going under-the-knife:

Exfoliate Regularly

Exfoliating helps remove dead skins cells and oil buildup which clogs up pores preventing healthy stubble from sprouting. Scrubbing face gently every day preferably pre-shave stimulates blood flow helping freshly grown whiskers push through easier.

Always Manage Stress Levels Optimum Naturally

It’s widely known fact now stress negatively impacts almost everything – even your looks! Being chronically nervous potentially might restrict blood flow towards mouth area eventually affecting its productive capabilities resulting into reduced ability for viable bountiful twirls required create those slick mustaches everyone raves about let alone patchy beards absent-mindedly stroked by both sexes during down moments.

Keep Good Hygiene Habits

It’s important to always wash your face with clean water before going to bed, and finally ensuring you towel-dry enough so skin is completely dry – this simple yet crucial step aids in reducing potential bacterial infections developing as well. On the other hand it’s advisable not to overdo scrubbing or using harsh products like aftershaves only aggravating matters further thereby increasing risk infection due overly irritated skins from overzealous shaving habits.

It’s said that handling beard hair doesn’t actually do much harm either physically although some stubble’d individuals might beg to differ if their significant others are constantly scolding them for scratching up their faces while cuddle moments 🙁 .

Ensure Optimal Nutrition

Eating foods rich in vitamins E/Biotin and minerals along with protein supports promoting healthy facial-hair growth albeit tips of biological mechanisms pertaining it being fully understood still . Commonly recommended nutrient-rich meals include types fish especially salmon / nuts including almonds walnuts eggs-which contain essential amino acids grass-fed proteins , leafy vegetables such as spinach etc ALL aid towards fortifying whiskers’ stamina more effectively than “snake oils” falsely promotional purported cures!

Conclusion

In conclusion, there isn’t just one reason why some people can grow a full-on lumberjack beard whilst others would be stuck with sparse patches till kingdom come! While genetic factors pre-determine majority predicaments lifestyle choices because seriously who wants take on DHT inhibitor medications forever? Definitely NOT me! Weird beards deserve all love too no matter what complexion – ye’beastliness typically appeals when wielded wisely-given so seek out unique styling methods perhaps most importantly making sure confidence shines through stalwart against societal assholery pushing conventional standards down our throats 🙂
