It also depends on when they were removed. If the eunuch developed facial hair before castration it will keep right on growing. Testosterone basically flips a switch in a follicle, and removing testosterone sadly does not un-flip the switch.
Removing the testes but leaving the shaft was the preferred (non-punishment) method of making a eunuch for most of Chinese history - much less likely to just bleed out and die.
Performed on eunuchs such as Zheng He, noted Chinese Muslim naval leader.
Can eunuchs grow facial hair?
If they scheme hard enough, or are from a parallel universe, yes
Jokes aside, depends on which part was removed. If balls, then they will have a harder time with facial hair due to reduced testosterone.

My dreams are slightly crushed hearing this.
On bright news I love the name “Althea” btw.
Why do you tell that to someone who apparently hunts Althea?! /s
