Minoxidil Beard | Month 2 and 3 of my Beard Journey
This is my beard journey from baby face to solid stubble. This video describes the beginning of the beard journey. I start to see some progress as I go over the second and third month of applying minoxidil and using it to grow a full beard. You can start to see the minoxidil beard before and after my journey. I hope my videos can encourage you to get your very own beard as well. Do not give up hope!

It definitely does work, but it does take time and patience. There are other things that helped me accelerate my growth such as dermarolling and a good skin routine. During the time of this video, I had not used any of those extra methods and the progress was slower.
great results
At first I thought you went from nothing to the beard you have now in 3 months then I saw your first video lol. I’m in month 2 now and it’s hard to be patient but Incan see progress so that keeps me going! Are you going to make videos for months 4-6?

I would keep it going, the average length of the journey is 1-2 years. I am going on my 3rd year now. I would also consider adding dermarolling and oil to your regiment that really helped as well. Also check your diet to make sure that you are taking in enough collagen or biotin.
Hey man! Did you ever experience any chest pains with minoxidil foam version? Or know any stories about it. That’s currently I’m situation just don’t know exactly if it’s due to minoxidil.

bro do you normally trim your beard? if so when? is it once a month and whats the length of the beard trimmer setting like 3mm or 4mm , or do you grow it out,buti think trimming helps with better absorbtion rather than minox going to ur facial hair

Bro can you answer this question… so do I shave the few lower chin hairs I have genetically before any gains from the minoxidil or do I just let it grow along with the vellus hairs from minox or what do I do bc no one seems to talk about that?
@monkybeard
10 ай бұрын
You are right, not many people talk about that. I personally found better results when I trimmed and did not shave. That being said, there are some that say that shaving is like an extra dermaplaning for your face which encourages growth. To me, I feel the shaving could damage incoming vellus hairs which stifles growth. Mine is anecdotal evidence though so take with a grain of salt.

From what I have heard, the beard growing kits work mostly from the dermarolling process and then moisturizing your skin. If you want faster more guaranteed results I would stick with Minoxidil.

I started using minoxidil on my cheeks and chin. I can only grow a mustache and a little chin hair. It’s been almost a month and I see my head hair seems to shed a bit more than normal. I’m scared but many people have said it will be fine you won’t go bald which is what I’m worried about. No baldness if my family or wife’s. So wondering if you think it’s ok I’m shedding hairs. Not big chunks , but a lot of hairs . Thank you!

Shedding is normal for a few months. It made my hair thin a bit but then it has stabilized for a couple years. I do have balding in my genes and took Finasteride for many years. I stopped taking it before the beard journey, and my hair did not recede any more over the past 2.5 years. Stay Strong Beard Brother
