i am trying to grow a beard... but my sideburns and the hair on my chin is not connecting... any easy way to fix this without getting surgery or a new face?
 
The best way to get hair to grow is to cut it. The best way to get facial hair to grow is to shave it. It stimulates the hair follicles, and causes the hair to grow faster and usually thicker.
At your age, thin facial hair is not unusual. Unfortunately, it might be as thick now as it will ever be, at least in the forseeable future. My brother is a dirty blonde, and can still shave once or twice a week, maximum, at the age of 40.
So why not just grow a goatee? While you keep the area in between shaved, it should help stimulate the growth of those whiskers. 🙂
 
may just take a while. it took until 25 for the hair from my moustache to fully connect with my chin hair. i have thick hair and was an early bloomer, so it seemed weird to me.

now it grows way too fast. shaving sucks.

i have some grey in my goatee, growing right on the points of my chin. i was thinking of shaving all but that and have little grey horns, just for fun.

Get a few years older and start wishing you didn't have that facial hair to shave every day before work. That seems to work like a charm :thumbsdown:

If you're Asian or fair skinned you might be screwed. Otherwise at 23 you still have a ways to go. My beard continued to get more dense throughout my late 20's, which I don't need, plus hair started growing in some other places where I definitely don't need it. You thought you were done sprouting hair in exciting new places -- not by a long shot buddy!

Sort of -

Shaving "dulls" the surface of hairs, making them appear thicker than they are.

yep
 
I used to be able to go a week without shaving and not have much. I stopped shaving for 3 weeks. After I started shaving again, it takes 2 days to grow what used to take a week. I am 17, but I doubt I matured that much over 3 weeks.
