DHT is a male sex hormone created when certain enzymes convert testosterone in men's testes and prostate and women's ovaries. DHT is a more powerful hormone than testosterone that actually is essential for most hair growth — except on the head.

A study published in the journal Nature Communications found that men with high levels of the hormone testosterone and certain stress hormones also have stronger immune systems and tend to have more masculine facial features such as a strong jawline — a sexy physical trait.

Men with higher levels of testosterone and DHT will typically have significantly more facial hair than men with lower levels. And, if your body is particularly sensitive to these hormones, you'll likely grow a beard at an earlier age than others—like that one kid in 8th grade who had a full beard.

It's not unusual for extra facial hair to appear after menopause. Why? The ovaries decrease and eventually stop production of the female hormone estrogen after menopause, but both the ovaries and the adrenal glands continue to make male hormones, such as the androgen testosterone. This shift in the ratio of male to female hormones can cause more hair to grow on the face.
