I'll be honest Alex, I haven't watched many of your videos since before you went on T. The second you started speaking in this video I burst into gross tears. I cannot believe how deep your voice has gotten and how much you've changed. I'm so, so happy and proud with how far you've come. I can't wait to continue watching your videos and seeing how much farther you'll go ❤️

I'm getting a real Dean Winchester vibe off of you in this video haha

Kyungsoo's butt is the Epitome of Beauty​ well, my mother is nearly 50 now and even though I doubt she cares a lot about beauty, growing old and all that... according to her growing a beard would be a good way to hide your wrinkles

I've heard canola oil can help stimulate hair growth too. My cis (female) friend used it on her eyebrows and it definitely made a difference! So maybe other trans guys without access to his treatment would wanna look into that.

in your grey shirt and new scruff you are 100% Jensen Ackles. also I don't know why but I feel so incredibly proud of you because...Alex got his beard.

Now you've got facial hair you can say 'beard there, done that'....you get it? Like been there done that? That was awful why am I like this.

J Bird Cosmetic surgery to change your age is in the name. It's cosmetic. With gender reassignment, everything changes. Your appearance, the way people adress you, the way you think about yourself and much more. Regarding transgender people having surgeries, the MAJORITY of the operations that happen are paid for by the people themselves. The reason why most people choose to pay for it themselves is because either they have to (transgender people who live in the US) or because they want to go privately and receive these surgeries faster than they would on the NHS (UK) Also, there have been dozens of studies outlining the fact that being transgender is actually real. It isn't in the mind or something that people just make up. It is proven that when someone is transgender their brain actually resembles the gender that they want to transition to. Do you really believe that people would choose to be transgender when they have to fear for their safety everyday for being who they are? And do not feel pity for transgender people. We are simply going through life like anyone else would, with just a few more hurdles in the way. I'm getting my qualifications and going to college just like any other teenager would and I don't need people to think of me as a liability or a cause for concern.

I'm an FTM who had enough T in his system (thank god amirite) that I had mad sideburns/neckbeard before I even began T! I'm just beginning to use minoxidil so I'm hoping I'll grow a beard in all the right spots real easy :)

It's nothing to do with that, beards just tend to be strongest and thickest on and under the chin, it's why you see so many people sporting neck beards or a 'throatee' because it's the only place they get good growth. It's totally normal with or without minoxidil, so saying 'just use less on your neck' is silly.

Not weird, but it's not going to do much for you. It might give you more peach fuzz but you're not going to end up with proper facial hair. Which means if you stop taking it, the hairs will basically go back to how it was before minoxidil.

swelling on under eyes is normal ? After useing 5% minoxidil for beard it's fine or i stop using that ?

hey guys so i just started using minoxidil on my one month on t do you think this will work?

so i lost my hair to chemo would it help me grow my hair back?

omg, that's a huge amount of hair growth, i'll have to check this out when i'm on T

I haven't watched your channel for a good year. I just came to search for you and I'm so happy to see how far you've come!!

The changes to the structure of your face are crazy. You look great! Your beards coming on great m8!

Hey Alex. I've been having a problem with telling my mother my preferred name and pronouns. She kind of knows that I'm trans but I just don't know how to tell her my name and pronouns. What should I do?

where did you buy it??Also did you wash your face first and then apply it??

With monoxidle can trans males use it pre T and still get a beard?? If i started using it will i be able to get a beard even tho i havnt started T yet??

Question, so when you said “if you stop using minoxidil before the hair matures it will start to get thinner and affects will reverse” that is currently happening to me, do you know if that means I have to shave my face and start over? Or can I just start re adding minoxidil again twice a day to see results again

Which one do you use ? Foam or solution?

im an asian guy without any facial hair, would this work on me too?

Where you got it from ?

You're literally the best Alex! I can't believe I had watched you before all of this and it's like I basically watched you grow up, even makes me kinda sad. But I'm so happy the quest to Alex's beard is commencing and I love you a lot :)

OH MY GOD I JUST STARTED WATCHING YOUR NEWER VIDEOS AFTER GOING A LONG TIME WITHOUT WATCHING YOU AND YOUR VOICE NEARLY KILLED ME OMFG

Alex important question, the kirkland warning says that it's only for men and do not use if you are a woman. So is going to be safe for pre-T trans boys?

I've never heard of this method but oh my god I really want to try this now. Do they sell it at drugstores?

Do you know if you can use this pret?

Charlie Wow You can buy it online anywhere or even at cvs, its off-brand rogaine. kirkland brand on amazon is cheapest, 30 bucks for a 6 month supply. it's where I got mine. Good luck!

Does Rogaine permanently kill your follicles if you stop using it? I’m a pre-testosterone trans guy and had a pretty naturally hairy face. I started using Minoxidil last year for about 3-6 months and then stopped. Now all my original hair hasn’t grown back! I’m freaking out that Minoxidil has killed all my follicles so that when I start Testosterone I’m not going to have any facial hair. Can you reassure me that this isn’t the case? What can I do to get my original hair to grow back?

So essentially you need to keep taking minoxidil forever, just like T? I wana try it out, but i just feel like thats really annoying to keep up with :/, i already am on gel so thats every day too.........

Minoxidil can you use it anywhere like I know face but like maybe around bellybutton or something like that?

I've been doing the same thing- the other day, a cis dude asked me for beard advice :o

Can you use it before T ??

It is incredible how much you've changed. You look really good now :D

I doubt it would be an issue for most trans guys but please be aware that there are issues with using minoxidil and becoming pregnant. If you think that's a possibility, please do some research and maybe talk to your doctor.

I started my try with this product a couple weeks ago. I'm just shy of 6months on T and I feel my transition has gone so slowly and even asked my doctor if I can up my estrogen blockers but she said no. I had a below average level of natural Testosterone and an above average level of estrogen. (Figures right.) But my voice is finally at a point where I'm being sometimes seen as male and hope this stuff will hurry up and kick in so I'll present better.

Hey how did you go with minox? I'm almost 6 months and thinking of trying it.

I am sorry but I just have to ask... You said that stuff tasted like shit. So did you notice any hair growing on your tongue in subsequent days/weeks??????????

@bryntendo

6 жыл бұрын

IGGY NORD You have to use it consistently twice a day every day for at least 12 weeks to see any hair growth, and it needs to stay on the skin for 4 hours without exposure to water or other moisture that will wash it off... So, there's no way it could've had an effect on his tongue. Also, it only works where you have hair follicles and no one has any hair follicles on their tongue, so it's impossible to start with =P I'd be more worried about his poisoning himself by accidentally eating too much of it =/

I guess I am not the only one who thinks you are starting to look a lot like Jensen Ackles

I was on rogaine for a little over a year but if you stop using it before the hair is matured it will fall out

this is so cool alex! i've watched your videos for so long and you had such a baby face before, and now you look really good and handsome! it's nice to see that things are working so well for you and your transformation is awesome to see :) xx

Hi can i know what T are you taking?

I'm so glad I found out from this video that Costco sells this because I've been thinking about starting but had no idea where to get it!

I remember the start of the quest to Alex's beard and I'm so happy that's he's finally there.

Hey also!!!! There's a really hugely rare side effect of it which is it can give you a tremor. Like I said it's super rare but my friend did get it and since stopping, he still gets it a little bit in the morning. Just a heads up.

Minoxidil burns my face away, I can't use it for more than a few days. No matter how much I moisturize my skin, it has too much alchocol in it. I've been on T almost 3 years and haven't got any beard at all. You're lucky.
