Glossary Facial Hair

hair growing on the face, like beards and mustaches

Facial hair refers to the hair that grows on the face, typically on the chin, cheeks, and upper lip. This includes beards, mustaches, and sideburns. It is more common and prominent in males due to higher levels of androgens, particularly testosterone, which stimulate hair growth in these areas.
