Hello, I'm 21 years old and can't grow a full beard. I can grow decent hair on my chin and a decent moustache that doesn't connect to my chin hair. My sideburns have weak growth, are short and don't grow evenly on each side. I have just about 12 hairs on one side of my cheeks and about 8 on the other side. No hair grows at all on my jawline. Is this type of growth going to remain this way for the rest of my life?
