Does taking T make your brow ridge stick out? The bone over your eyebrows, does that stick out more on T?
Also, does T make your head hair grow faster? Cause it feels like I have gotten so many haircuts since starting hormones, it feels like my hair is growing like crazy.

It would entirely be down to if you were still growing dude.
As for the hair thing, once I started E I thought mine grew faster.

It might not if your bones are done growing (although mens faces do seem to continue to masculinise for quite a long time, so maybe!) but it will probably cause you to gain more muscle there giving you a more masculine appearance anyhow.

Testosterone doesn't cause your long bones to lengthen after they're fused in puberty, but it can cause bones to thicken and become heavier. That would, presumably, include facial bones.

I don't know if it will grow faster, but it will start making it fall out and give you male pattern baldness.
