HIRSUTE

hirsute: shaggy; hairy; bristly

Example:

First of all, your nose is nearly covered with your bloody moustache and your beard, Mr Gogarty replied. Mr Allen apologised for his "hirsute" appearance. [Reference: Paul Cullen, "No ambush sprung on returning Gogarty", Irish Times, March 23, 1999]
