Solution

Facial hair growth:

  1. Androgens are sex hormones that cause masculine traits like facial hair and granular body hair.
  2. Androgens are produced naturally by a woman's ovaries and adrenals.
  3. Because of higher-than-normal levels of androgen hormones, women can grow excessive body or facial hair.
