Can all asians grow full-beards?

Hey guys I'm an Australian from a mixed asian background and I'm a bit worried...

I'm worried because everyone in my class shaves and has a partial beard/moustache/side-burns already while I have absolutely no facial hair at all and do not shave? is this normal? At what age do most asians receive facial hair growth?

I don't see too many asians with beards, at least one as thick as Europeans/Arabs...
...my question is, is there a reason why so many asians don't let their beards grow as long? is this because of cultural factors or are there underlying genetic factors?


thanks! :)

Of course asian men grow beards but I think most asians aren't as hairy as most other races. So it may take a long time to grow a beard compared to others. Some of my friends never shaved before and they are 18

I don't either..at one stage, I even thought Asians can't go beards, and if they do they tend to be very small compared any other ethnicity. Don't worry, to many other men you are considered really lucky.

You're freaking lucky. I hate shaving with a passion.

Beards indicate a man.

Beards = testosterone > estrogen

NO beard = estrogen > testosterone

I lol'd.

Depends on the individual's skin. I also have never needed to shave. Great convenience is great.

you'll have facial hair in time cheng so there's nothing to worry about.
Unless you're 30. I'd recommend consulting a doctor about this if you are.

Having facial hair is a pain, rather not have it, but it does come with its benefits at times.

Like the ol' trick of growing a beard during exam times so you can be wiser, I presume?

Educationally speaking of course.
