🧵 Is beard growth exclusively related to genetics or just testosterone?

For example, if your male family members have strong beards, but you have lower test, will you still get a strong beard or not?

It has nothing to do with test, but how sensitive your hair follicles are to androgens.

The androgen hormone stimulates growth in your hair follicles, if you have dulled sensitivity or produce less androgen, you'll have less growth there.

But isn't androgen just test?

You could be swimming with it and if your follicles aren't sensitive to it then it doesn't matter.

DHT is related to beard growth

I love my beard. It's really fun to touch.
