Thanks for the info boss
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.
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!

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.

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.

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 🙏
If you got little facial hair is it advisable to shave the little facial hair before using or you can just apply it
Hi - can you shave the cheek and side areas while going through the minoxidil process?
All Facts in this video, new beginniners take notes!!!
Thank you so much!
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 ?
Well because I’m much further than OP is with my natural beard growth, I wonder how minoxidil will perform for me.
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
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.

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

What about Derma Rolling & Chest pain?
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
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?
Do you know exactly what foam you used? was it Regaine?
I literally just got the liquid in today... Maybe I should return it and get the foam.
If you grow new hairs and stop using it, will they fall out? Even if you use other stuff to keep them alive?

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

Can you apply it over moisturised skin?
What about Minoxidil for eyebrows? Does it help for this?
How long (minutes or hours) should I wait before putting moisturizers on the beard area after the minoxidil?
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 :)
