This has appeared as a search request from Google on several occasions in the past few months. Evidently someone needs to know the answer so I thought I'd oblige.
People start growing beards from the onset of puberty. Usually this is restricted to men but some women are also prone to this occurence - this can be caused by a hormonal imbalance or as a side effect from medicine they are taking.
Usually the hair growth begins when you are least expecting it and leads to cries of "Hairy face, hairy face!" or "Help!!!! Its a Werewolf....." It can also begin during your first date with your first real girlfriend/boyfriend/sheep. They will, of course, tell all their friends what a freak you are, and you probably won't date again until you are in your 40's or 50's. This has happened - I speak from experience.
Some people only grow facial hair on a monthly basis in line with the effects of the moon. Others need to shave twice, or more, everyday and some, who really are freaks, never grow any at all - see Leonardo de Caprio, Tom Cruise and Michael Jackson.
In severe cases you end up looking like a Wookie or Chewbacca. These are of course very rare and unusual occurences but you need to be warned.
There are also occasions when you have to be very careful. Doing that thing your parents tell you not to, may not lead to hairy palms but could do. If it does, do not - I repeat - DO NOT wipe your hands on your face; this will only cause the affliction to spread.
I hope that this has helped you and aided in dispersing some myths and fables you may have heard.
