Are anyone else's vocals too airy?

Sorry, I meant to say "hairy?" like does too much facial hair have an effect?

    Facial hair absorbs the reflections off the mic screen and pop filter...

    us smooth skins, see, we've got other problems.
     
    though i have heard that clothing someone is wearing would be a factor in reflection and absorption of sound, so could that apply to facial hair.....
