Question:
Hello Minister,
I’m 17 years old. I am wondering when my whole beard will grow. I already see some hair on my chin, more hair on my mustache, and a little bit of hair on my cheek, but I don’t know when it will be fully grown.
Answer:
You will have to be patient. Most guys aren’t able to grow a full beard until they are in their 20s. The hairs develop a few at a time. The growth cycle for the hairs in your beard is about four months. If all your hairs developed simultaneously, then every 4 months or so, you would lose your beard, shedding like a dog. By developing a few at a time, only a few hairs drop out each day, and with so many others present, you don’t notice it.
