I'm 19 and I have a few hairs on my chin. My older brother told me if I shave, it will grow, otherwise it will never grow longer. Is it okay to shave a couple times so that it can grow into a beard?

Answer

You may remove the few strands of hair by shaving them if that is only way to enhance the growth of the beard.
