Very Thick Facial Hair Strand

Narrator: Look at that beard: the density, the thickness. It's what a beard is supposed to be! Not this: This is my beard, if you even want to call it a beard. This footage was taken after I let it grow for two weeks. Two weeks! It's thin, patchy, and in some spots there's no hair at all.

Countless women face excessive and unwanted facial hair. They may appear on cheeks, forehead, upper lip, or chin. And it may sometimes make you feel conscious, especially if you suffer from excessive hair growth around the chin. Although we may have made our peace with chin hair thanks to threading, waxing, or tweezing, have you ever taken the time to think about why the hair on your chin grows? If not, it is the time you think. While the exact cause of excessive chin hair is not always identified, it can be caused by hormonal changes due to several conditions and even certain medications. PCOS is a hormonal disorder in which male hormone androgen may go into overdrive and result in weight gain, irregular periods, acne, fertility problems, and abnormal hair growth.

Typically dark, thick, and super long, these hairs tend to show up in places like our earlobes or the tips of our noses were we tend not to have much visible hair, or sprout up like eyesores among the shorter hairs of our forearms, guts, or backs. To many people, they seem to sprout up overnight. In other words, they're worrying and sudden aberrations to stumble upon.

A beard can change the way you look and feel. It enhances your masculine features and it can give you that extra boost of confidence. Growing facial hair can be easy for those with a good gene pool, but it can be a struggle for those of us who drew the short straw in the genetic lottery.
