I turned 17 in February. I have this short light colored hair on my chin and stuff but I can't get any black ( I have black hair ) hair. Should I be able to get a beard by now or is it something that happens later?

Answer:

That depends on more than age. Genetics has a big part in it. I went to high school with a guy that had a full beard his senior year. I didn't have to start shaving until I was out of high school, if I remember correctly.

i have almost a beard and i am 13

---

i was having my first " beard" at about 18-19.

---

C'mon dude...I know chicks that can grow a beard at 17!

---

Some guys don't grow facial hair easily. It all depends on the genes in your family. I know a guy that's 34 and it takes a month and a half to get the start of a goatee.. It depends on you.

---

it all depends you should be able to at about ninteen a full one but little short ones about seventeen and a half to eighteen and a half

---

ew why would you want a beard!!?

---

Go for it now.

---

when your seeds come in the mail..

My brother had peach fuzz on his face until his mid-twenties (and with 4 very inconsiderate (hahaha) sisters picking on him about it. Well, he's now literally a hairy ape only 5 years later, and now that he can grow a beard, opts to shave twice a day.

Be patient.

Don't knock it.

Shaving's a real pain.

---

It's different for every guy! Keep shaving the light stuff and it should turn dark sooner or later!

---

you can't tell some people never can grow a proper beard.

---

Maybe never. Many guys can't grow a beard, don't produce enough facial hair or it comes in in patches. Yours may be late, but if you are shaving off the light stuff every day or so, and it is the rough whisker type hair, that may be all you'll get.
