If beards were necessary for protecting the face, woman should also have developed a beard, but it never happened at least as strong as a man’s beard. Is it something visual? Or it has any function that was important back then on man but not on woman?

It’s all a matter of hormones
Women develop excessive body or facial hair due to higher-than-normal levels of androgens, including testosterone. All females produce androgens, but the levels typically remain low. Certain medical conditions can cause a woman to produce too many androgens.
