Did a new video that answers the most common questions that seem to pop-up in the comments (apologies I can't get round to replying to all but big
Should I use glove to apply minoxidil?
In how much long period we can get permanent results?

Guys iam on day 21 when can i expect small change in hairs outside?
So it works?
Perfect video. Straight to the point and no unnecessary talk.
You answered so many questions I could not find the answers to. Well done bro thank you
Cheers mate, few really good pointers in here!
Really good insights. Helped me out before I started, now I'm on my third week, I posted a video of what I'm starting with, good luck to all on the journey.
Tip for anyone wanting to grow, works wonders for me: vitamin supplements, caffeine shampoo with a beard conditioner afterwards and derma rolling daily. Went from smooth face to fully covered in vellus hairs that are starting to go terminal now and it’s only been a few months. Good luck gents!
derma rolling daily? I thought you are supposed to roll it like twice a week to give the skin some time to heal
@@prettyshrimp8374 I’m sure everyone’s different
Kilian, which vitamins did you use?
what vitamins did you use?
@@prettyshrimp8374 I first thought once or twice a week... but the skin gets used to it... after a few weeks it is possible to use the dermaroller daily...
answered all my questions without any bs, thank you,
that was all i needed to know

Very valuable information, exactly what I needed, straight-forward answers without any bs. Thanks alot, time for me to begin my journy!
How's that journey going 8 months in? Have you stuck with it?
Based.
Update?😄
@@jakobpedersen156 he probably didn’t stick with it. I know I didn’t.😢 I did it for like a month but I got tired of putting it on everyday cause I wasn’t seeing any results. Ima start again though. Hopefully I stick with it.
Lol I’m beginning mine and I hope yours has gone well 🤣
Great information man, keep it ip
Thank you mate! Exactly the video I was looking for!
Spot on information 👌🏼

Solid advice. Thanks.

All Facts in this video, new beginniners take notes!!!
Just started today and you're right my face is dry as hell. Thanks for the info!
Literally started using the foam a few minutes ago lol. Thanks for the knowledge.
Update?
Cheers for the video, just starting my journey to fix the scraggle daggles
Thank you for the information. I started minoxidil a month ago, and I will definitely go for the foam next time.
Update?
How’s your results bro?
Thanks boss- very helpful!
Very helpful info 👍
Yea I was worries about shaving the vellus hairs and it messing up results, thanks for the tips man
It’s affecting the roots, not the hair itself, I know you may know this now, but just commenting for others.
Based.
Not only the video was helpful but also the comments and the answers from another comments, thank you all guys
nice vid mate
Thanks James Maddison!
I’m just a few weeks in, this was super helpful for me. Thank you.
How’s it going
@@bt7033 definitely have seen a small amount of progress. Less then I would hope. The first month I didn’t see any, the 2nd month I started to see some slow progress, and the past few weeks I went from 2 applications per day to 1 and I haven’t seen any results. I might need to go back up to 2 a day I just don’t like getting my face oily before work lol
Alex DeArman You use liquid then?
@@AlexWood66 I’m 3 months in and went from almost no beard, to almost a full beard (and I mean full coverage When I say full beard.) do NOT give up, be consistent, look into a DermaRoller and apply it twice a week, I do mine Wednesdays and Saturday’s. I used minoxidil 5% liquid twice a day for 2 months, then switched to foam.
I used a bottle of minox liquid 7 months ago, for only a month then had my daughter and what not, so I kinda gave up, but I’m back at it and couldn’t be happier. Consistency is key my man.
@@nathanthompson9368 dang man I started to see progress and gave up. One of the reasons is that I don’t like going to bed with it wet and oily on my face and my wife gets annoyed about it because I tell her not to touch my face and it seems to take a long time to soak in and dry. Has the foam helped in that department?
Thanks for the info boss
Great video very informative thank you
Based.
Very informative and right to the point. Thanks for the tips man. I'm curious since this is the first video I've seen. Did you happen to derma roll at all? And if so, how were you scheduling between derma rolling and applying?
Thanks Nick! I was using a dermapen (and still do), much prefer it to a roller. I'd only use it once every 2-4 weeks or so on a 2mm setting. I'd usually let it heal for a day before applying minoxidil, otherwise it stung like a beeatch.
Based.
Really good info
To fact 3. You can shave like normal but i heard a lot of times that it’s better to let the hair grow out some times. And my experience was that it really helped my hair a lot to let it sometimes grow. I have the felling that the hair became a lot stronger after i let it grow and just trimming it.
Very helpful tips
Love the video big help. Any other tips since making this ? Or am I all good ?
u got my subscribe man I hope I can get that much beard 🧔 I am on week #80 on Minoxidil but it sucks that my TH-cam got terminated gotta start posting my Weekly updates
Hey! Give us an update please. How’s it going for you?
How did you get subs
Based.
Thank you for the info.
When you begin to apply for a week or two and nothing pop ups,🤷🏻♂️ the only remedy I have for you is keep on applying for over 90 days (3month) it’s really works guys 🙏
Thank you bro this helped a lot, doing the droplets twice a day makes my face greasy and seems like a lot, plus I want to shave so bad. Thank you 🙏🏼
Thanks man , I started my journey last night but I am feeling heart palpitations have you had that for the first time .
I didn’t experience this but understand others have, from what I read they tend to go after a week or two but would recommend doing some extra readings to confirm that
Yes. I did but it goes away and doesn't happens from the next time don't worry but if ur skin rashes or becomes red then there's prblem for me it doesn't have any effect in my skin
Hey i have getting heart pain
Please help
Good video bro
I needed this video...
Thanks a lot bro🤝🏻
Final nail in the coffin for me to give it a crack, already got a beard but the cheeks just look shit and patchy as fuck so I'm ready for the Leonidas beard! great vid mate haha
Hey man if its not too late, dont use it... search "askapatient minoxidil"
i did this experment in 2015. It was very successful for me. I grew beard in weeks. I did alot reading on internet at hen. I only applied once before bed and did not wash until next morning. I only pplied 1.25ml if I can remember properly. i have all my progerss pictures. This thing really works.
Is the beard permanent after many years and how long did u use it
Thanks for this brother 🫡
quick tip : DermaStamp > Derma roller and maybe even pen .
I was on .25mm derma roller originally, then .75 and now Stamp at 1.5mm 3 times a week. Skin heals MUCHHHH QUICKER even with the longer needle. Because its not rolling and causing tears horizontally, and only doing its work vertically (needle on stamp) .
Aquaphor after. dab dab dab .
i would say do stamp once a week, see if redness disappears within 24-48 hours. and do it 2 times a week for 2 weeeks, and maybe increase from there. Thank me later.
I use minox 10 hours after my stamp. only Once a day because of the 22 hour half life.
Disclaimer: I am by no means a medical professional. My opinions are my own and I am no way responsible for what you do to your skin. Don't sue me :)
my derma roll causes rashes. no matter how much i clean it
So is the dermaroller better to use?
If you’re using a derma roller, use the 0.5mm
It’s the best for beard growtj
Stamp is the best. I have all 3. Roller doesn’t really puncture, pen is hard to gauge if it is puncturing or not. Stamp you can see and feel it.
Guys, trust me when I say that minoxidil works, I started roughly 4 months ago with nothing (you can see what I could grow on my channel), didn't believe in it, first month got absolutely no results, just kept on applying 5 percent liquid kirkland and now I cant recognise myself in the mirror....its insane. Im so glad I found out about minoxidil. Good luck to all
There is no damn video of you or your beard journey.
Thank u for sharing this. I don't know me or this is because of biotin. But i have grown so much body hair on arms, even my fingers. And also my chest hair started to grow. For some notes, I don't have hairy gen for 4 generations. But, I started to seeing some really good result from none into thicker and blackest facial hair in my beard and mustache. No more catfish type of moustache here for me.
Based.
My minoxidil is coming in tomorrow, and I already tried the derma roller yesterday. Looks like I’m in for a journey 😅
I shave down to 7mm, it’s still looks like I have a decently full beard but when I look in the mirror I can easily see my weak spots and I’m not losing a ton of product in my hairs
Thank you so much!
You got awesome results. Did you derma roll too?
Thaaaaaaank you!
Thank you bro! Can I put moisturising cream on before applying it to avoid dry skin?
Good video
Jesús De Nazareth thank you, Jesus
thank you sir
It could also be that the older you get it develops on its own. I’ve never used minoxidil on my beard but it looks thicker now than in my early 20s
THANKS BRO
Hi nice information, just a quick question. So I leave my minoxidil on for 4 hours, once I wash it off, is it okay to apply moisturiser straight after or must I wait or leave it ?
Thanks for reading
Thank you jerelle! That is the recommended time but I'd say do what suits your own schedule best and see if it works. Usually, in the morning I'd let it dry and apply moisturiser not long after (purely because I didn't want to be at work with dry ass skin). There is the balance between what's (supposedly) most effective and whats convenient for your fine self

@@cosmicdissonance9888 .desaB
I’m on the third year and I still see results when I was 1 year I had results but now is way better
Any head hair shedding?
your skin is brighter than my future
Just in my school gradres haha lol
This man looks like forty Quinn from the Netflix show ‘You’
When you using minoxidil you see growing hair in another places on your body Like stomach back or chest
No, its topical so only applies to wherever you use it
@@youmadvids doesn’t matter some of it can still be absorbed through the skin and go systematic
It does
Good Video! Started the journey 3 weeks ago.
Thanks man, good things coming your way!
Come bacc and let us know what happens 👍🏾
Did you get some results?
Update us lol
@@fivezeroeight508 he died due to side effects
I mostly want to use minoxidil to fill in some patchy spots near my chin and around my lips but for the most part I grow a pretty full beard and I keep it grown out most of the time. Would it be better to shave it down and apply minoxidil to my entire face or would it also work to just keep my beard long and put it on the spots where I want more hair to come in?? I'd appreciate any advice
Well because I’m much further than OP is with my natural beard growth, I wonder how minoxidil will perform for me.
Both me and my brother genetically can grow a beard but he had trouble growing more than little thin hair follicles (but the hair was there) and i had easily grown a full goatee and mustache but had the little follicles as well on my cheeks so we both decided to use minoxidil to speed things up, to keep it short we both grew full beards 3-4 months. Once we had the beards we stopped using it but the hair completely started thinning and it looked like some fell out. We decided to clean shave (except my goatee I didn’t apply any minoxidil on it at all ) and now we’re both rapidly naturally growing full beards again with thick mature hairs so i guess it worked out in the end all we use now is beard oil and the hairs are growing better than when we were on minoxidil. (That’s our experience) *MIND YOU WE APPLIED IT ONCE AFTER WE SHAVED AND BOTH GOT HORRIBLE ACNE OVER NIGHT* that’s why we started using beard oil instead and it seems to be growing better anyways
How old are you and your brother?
@@KieranRooney 19 (me) 17 (my brother), I know it’s not supposed to be used that young but we did it anyways
Yeah I’m 18 and I can grow a healthy beard because I have good genetics my father has a really good beard I just have a spot on my left cheek that won’t grow and it’s really annoying I don’t know if it’s worth using this stuff considering it’s only a few spots I’ll need it
@@Sergeant_Stiffy nah man I would recommend not to, it could throw off the rest of your beard and will probably negatively impact it, id recommend using some good quality beard oil just to make your beard healthier all around which will promote healthy growth results all around
@@sergiotorres7741 thanks man for the advice I’ll look into it
Actually, moisturizing after applying is perfectly fine. I wait until right after it dries, then apply some jojoba or vitamin E oil. In fact if you do this, it locks in the Minoxidil.
Is it ok to moisturize before applying the minoxidil ?
@@cole8957 i wouldn’t do that. Seems like it could create an oily boundary between the minoxidil and your hair follicles.
@@slcanavan1 thank you
Do you think I should add moisturizer and then beard oil afterwards?
What about castor oil after?
Yeah I have really dry skin my skin soaks up alot of oils and stuff and I just got the hims because it was cheaper and then i used the derma roller omg that was painful It messed my face up badly and I have different products I use for my face and I wait til after I shower to do everything but your tips are very helpful my trans bro did tell me to get the foam version I should have got that and I have sensitive skin to
What about any heart problems? I don't care about the dry skin, but some guys experience rapid heart beat, blood pressure problems. did you have that???
thanks pal
If you got little facial hair is it advisable to shave the little facial hair before using or you can just apply it
can you do a review on your ironing board?
Apply twice a day is more powerful and u'll need less time to get terminals, and go for liquid version cause it is actually stronger than foam.
Yup with risks of more side effects too
Almost 3 months On minoxidil and it’s really working for me I’m starting to grow hair on the sides and build a little mustache
Do u have hairs on soul patch before using minox ??
@@shashwatmudgal7072 yes
@@shashwatmudgal7072 nope I had no mustache or hair on the sides just a little beard on my chin yet again I’m young so minox helped speed up the process
@@htown2025How old are you?
@@Rude_BoiI think 12 or so
I was on minoxidil, It made my face have swelling , I’m now choosing to get a facial hair transplant!
My problem was shaving too frequently! (Twice a week) Zero growth for a whole year. Letting it grow out for around 2-4 months before trimming or shaving is very important for growth. Oils as well. I’ve seen a ton of people with same problem shaving too often now they have way more full beards or like me it’s finally starting to sprout in different areas! Much hope for my future beard brothers!!
Zero growth for a full year?? All of a sudden I dont feel like getting on to it.
@@klutchboi3266 That's very individual, try with foam and you will likely see results.
There is 0 scientific evidence that letting it grow out is important for growth. That's because it's not true. Why would it be?
It might depend on individuals but same happened for me for few months of shaving too much so for me, I stopped shaving and just trimming
@@Mustymustard887 How is it going now for you?
Absolutely rite
How long (minutes or hours) should I wait before putting moisturizers on the beard area after the minoxidil?
Started today 🙏🏻
Update?
@@catalyzt7162 by the end of my 2nd month my face was covered in dark hairs . I started with only hairs on my chin .
Now it’s a medium length full beard
thank you
Has anyone had any head hair loss after coming off minoxidil? Have read in multiple places about risk of hair loss if you stop using minoxidil but not sure if it would apply if you where using minoxidil for beard growth
Minoxidil is a stimulant, if you use it for hair they will stop growing once you stop because the hair die out and regenerate on the head, beard hair works different
Another thing that's definitely needed to know that no one talks about is the fact that Minoxidil is highly highly toxic to cats. Don't risk it if you have one.
😂😂I’ll definitely try it
Had a cat, she licked even my face once after applying and I was like, shiii*. But nothing happened, she wasn't looking ill or something. So it might be toxic but not as bad as people say.
You’ll be fine as long as you don’t leave an entire bottle open next to her
Please do not push your cat to have more hair, i bet She already had hard times dealing with that..
Based.
Tip: don’t dye your hair right after putting minoxidil all over your sideburns! I got a huge red rash. Went away in just a few days, but definitely scared me.
Could I discolour the hairs on my SSShole? I think it would look cool to have a blonde bum
Thank you
If your not in 30s you beard may still just be growing in! Im 33 and my beard is just filling in now
Hi - can you shave the cheek and side areas while going through the minoxidil process?
So can I do my skin care like CTM and then apply minoxidil on my face and let it sit on my face for the entire night and wash it the next day morning ?
looks like older version of brandon on 92100
The third point is not clear to me. Should I stoop shaving to see progress?
I literally just got the liquid in today... Maybe I should return it and get the foam.
Did you lose hair on your head? I heard of shedding and that’s what I’m afraid of. If you stop early will you lose the facial hair you did have?
🔥🔥🔥
How precise do you have to be when applying the substance to your face to ensure symmetrical hair growth? Does it not need to be 100% precise? or what?
