No ethnicity is any more or less hairy!?!?

It's an individual trait!?!?

The fact that Asian men have less facial and body hair than other races is purely genetic. It is not hormonal at all. I can't tell you why the genetic distribution of body hair is as it is in Asian men. In Caucasians there is considerably more variability which makes it easier to see that there is a large genetic component to body hair distribution. Those men who have hairy ancestors are more likely to be hairy, while those with smooth ancestors will likely be smooth. If you're not convinced, let me give you a personal example. As a teen, my identical twin brother discovered he had one long white hair on his abdomen in the midst of the rest of his body hair. When he found it, I looked to see if I had the same thing, and there it was - one long white hair on my belly in the exact same place as my twin's.

I know of nothing dietary or medical that can increase your facial hair, but since you are only 20, you should be aware that your beard potential may not have reached it's peak. Many of the men I went to college with had smooth faces at 20, but later grew beards. On the other hand, I don't wish to hold out false hope to you. If your father and brother can't grow beards, your genetic potential is likely to follow theirs unless your mother has some hairy relatives. I realize that this is not a trivial matter to you, but I have to suggest that you not focus too much energy on it since there is little you can do about it.

not sure. Watching Dr Oz on the Oprah show the other day, he mentioned Asians also have less sweat glands, also.
