The variation of physical traits of humans (and other animals) can best be 
understood in terms of 'clines.' A cline is the gradual change in a 
particular human trait over geographical space.  For example, skin color is 
darkest in humans along the equator and gets lighter as we look further 
north or south from the equator.  In the case of facial and body hair, 
Asians are at the end of the gradient which is represented by relatively 
little facial and body hair.  In terms of growing more facial hair anyway, 
you will need to confer with a medical practitioner to see whether this is 
possible in your case.
