Dear TeenHealthFX,

Dear 19 - Can't Grow Facial Hair,
There is really nothing that can be done to make your Facial Hair Grow Faster. Males go through puberty later than females and depending upon your genes, you may still be going through it at 19. Read the highlighted question on puberty above, if you have not started any growth of pubic hair or other changes highlighted in that answer, FX would suggest seeing your doctor to discuss this.
One of the last things to happen is the growth of facial hair. Each man is different in the amount of facial hair that he gets and when he begins to have growth. The amount of facial hair you ultimately have is based upon genetics. So look at your parents. If your father is not that hairy then you most likely will not be.
