The bad thing about being able to grow a really good beard is that your chances of balding skyrocket. I think there's a hormone or something that's responsible for a number of secondary sex characteristics, and balding and facial hair growth are both regulated by it.
Yeah I think you mean DHT, which is synthesized from testosterone. It's also related to a host of health issues, including increased chance of prostate cancer. There's a theory out there that the baldness serves a function to increase your exposure to UV light so that you can produce more vitamin D, which can inhibit the growth of prostate cancer. So maybe a reason for millenials, as they age, to chop off their beards, remove their summer beanies, and go outside.
