Yes, changelings can have beards, especially in fantasy settings like Dungeons & Dragons where they can shapeshift their appearance at will, including facial hair; traditional folklore also notes changelings sometimes appear with beards, though many fictional depictions give them little to no body hair in their natural form. Their ability to change their form means they can adopt beards as part of a disguise or simply as a preferred look, often growing them instantly.
Changelings aren't hairless and can differentiate themselves from other changelings with facial and body hair. With that said, a changeling can CHANGE their facial hair or body hair on a whim. And while their NATURAL hair is silver-white, they can MAKE it whatever color they want.
Patterns of facial hair growth seem to correlate closely with ethnicity, even more so than other genetic factors. East Asian and Hispanic men, for instance, often struggle to grow high-density facial hair even as they age, while some Caucasian and Middle Easterners grow beards with relative ease early on.
Their skin tone is pale, either white or light gray, and their hair is thin and fair, most commonly a light shade of silver-white, followed by platinum and blond, with traces of green, pink, and blue. Otherwise, changelings have little if any body hair and facial hair.
The Archive of Disease in Childhood notes that the changeling is ``characterized by unresponsiveness, resistance to physical affection, obstreperousness, inability to express emotion, and unexplained crying and physical changes such as rigidity and deformity. Some are unable to speak.''
Among the diseases or disabilities with symptoms that match the description of changelings in various legends are spina bifida, cystic fibrosis, PKU, progeria, Down syndrome, homocystinuria, Williams syndrome, Hurler syndrome, Hunter syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, Prader-Willi Syndrome, and cerebral palsy.

However, most Psy do have a metallic stink.
Unlike ponies, changelings do not have cutie marks. Following their metamorphosis in To Where and Back Again - Part 2, changelings have varied coat colors and insect characteristics, such as Thorax and Pharynx's horns, and they no longer have fangs or holes in their bodies.
Changelings in their normal form have bluish-grey skin, with sharp fangs and horns. While in their human form is whatever they wish to look like as a human. Changeling is sometimes considered the deformed faeries by humanity.
The 3-month beard rule is a guideline to let your beard grow untouched for 90 days to assess its natural growth, thickness, and potential, overcoming the itchy, patchy "awkward phase" (weeks 2-6) where many men quit too early. This commitment allows slower hairs time to catch up, revealing true density, filling in thin spots, and giving you enough length to decide on styling, making it ideal for seeing what your beard can truly become before making shaping decisions.
“The ethnicity with the least amount of terminal hair is Asian, whereas people of Hispanic and Middle Eastern descent typically have the most. Other ethnicities fall somewhere in between. So what's normal, hair-wise, for you might not be normal for someone of a different ethnic background.”
Leviticus 21:5 – “They shall not make bald patches on their heads, nor shave off the edges of their beards, nor make any cuts on their body.” • This command applies specifically to priests, reinforcing the idea that beards were a sign of holiness and distinction.
Beards, therefore, seem a suitable accompaniment, a sign of their wise and ancient longevity. Yet, in our culture, beards are associated not only with maturity but also old age: something the elves never experience. Thus, being locked in youth, it seems fitting that few elves ever grow a beard.

Meanwhile, the child changelings feed off of the human mothers' synovial fluid by suckling with their round, many-toothed mouths at the back of their necks. The changelings take their place in human homes as soon as they are formed, and feed off the mothers until they waste away.
