Want to confirm that minoxidil radically improved my facial hair several years ago. I went from basically not being able to grow a beard because my mustache was so bad to my mustache being the best and fullest aspect of my facial hair with about 6 weeks of sustained use. I didn’t even know it was recommended to continue forever - I stopped after I saw the results I wanted and have never used it again. I haven’t lost facial hair.
@@vaadwilsla858 That's interesting - typically that kind of side effect occurs from minoxidil overuse or "overdose." That said, if it it affects you negatively, of course don't use it. I was just responding to the fact that it does, or at least can, have positive effect on facial hair growth *and* that I did not experience subsequent loss of facial hair after stopping applying the treatment.
@@vaadwilsla858Yup, same here. Tried it multiple times throughout the years. Always gave me severe heart palpitations and had to go to the ER once. Minoxidil is a "prehestoric" blood pressure medication which literally has a black label warning. That's for oral minox, but still if your skin has higher permeability, topical minoxidil can result in large quantities transdermally going into your blood stream. Which is what was happening to me. Others might be fine, but still be extremely careful and make sure to monitor your resting heart rate
good video but It's amazing how few people have heard of the banned Borlest books,I have a suggestion for those who train to read a book called "You are stronger than you think" The book provides so much useful information about how testosterone affects various aspects of our lives, including energy levels, mood, and overall health. It’s especially beneficial for anyone who trains or is interested in fitness. This knowledge can help improve workout routines and overall well-being. Definitely worth a read for those looking to deepen their understanding of how our bodies work
I can't grow a beard worth having, I just saw one of your other videos on Vaush's stream. I enjoyed your content so much I immediately subbed. I really like your approach and ability to communicate fashion advice. I've been trying to step up my wardrobe this year, thank you for the great advice! 👍
I used minoxidil in liquid form from october 2019 to like april or may 2020. I was using it 2 times a day with the recommended dose of 1ml per apply. I had like 98% clean cheeks with no hair visible, no real neck hair. I only had a mustache and a chin that weren't even connecting. After using minoxidil for 6-8 months regularly i now have a full beard and everybody that knew me was shocked when they first saw me with a full beard. I developed velus hairs that eventually turned into mature hairs that remained after i stopped using minoxidil. The only problem for me was that i didn't use it enough to have a really full beard with hairs that would cover nearly every inch of my face. Yes i have a full beard, but you can still see ny face pretty good through it if you look more carefully. So yes minoxidil is legit for beard growth, but it has also side effects. The ones i faced were dry and itchy skin til i got used to it. Some people may also feel heart palpitations or a high blood pressure, but these are very rare, only if you have a heart problem before starting this treatment you would maybe feel these symptoms. Also if you start this treatment you need to do it consistently for at least 6 to 12 months (depends from person to person) for you to actually have a result that would satisfy you. I would also say combining derma rolling your skin with using minoxidil would help the process. I will probably start using minoxidil again in near future just to get my beard more fuller. PS: for best results if you already have some kind of beard and wanna make it fuller or resolve a patchy beard it is recommended to trim to a very short lenght or even go clean shaven so the substances can be more easily absorbed by your skin. If i were to start using minoxidil again i would have to trim my beard a lot since i rock it very long these days. Or you could try to apply through the beard, but most of the liquid/foam would remain on your hairs and get into your skin.
If you have a patchy beard it's also worth considering using a derma roller for a while. I used one of these and I started growing hair on parts of my face that didn't have hair before.
Minoxidil indeed tremendously grew my beard growth , took me a while tho but I was able to retain most of my beard growth and am happy with the results
I kinda want to debunk Tip 1 because it actually enhances your beard growth but not like immediatly how most people think. But shaving off your beard irritates the skin underneath which generates more bloodflow to this area. This causes more nutrients to basically reach your hair folicle and helping it grow thicker. So technically it works like minoxidil by causing more bloodflow through pshyical damage but in much less scale. You could also use a derma roller to irriate your skin and generate more bloodflow.
I took Minoxidil for almost a full year, and that was enough to turn my vellus hairs into terminal, and 5 years later i have not touched Minoxidil and have a full beard 👌
Is he based in the UK? In my experience, the best beard oil is by Kiehl despite odd smell. It feels like your comb is moving through water. Best beard wash I've found so far is King Gillette which is available in high street stores. It keeps the beard feeling soft. Lots of respect for his advice and style of delivery.
Great informational video and video style, as a current beard owner I realize I've been neglecting mine (shampoo only) so I'll definitely give these items a try. Regarding the video editing, I'd leave out the shots of you talking "to the side" instead of at the camera, because it feels like you're in an interview instead (only a minor comment).
Thanks for all the tips. I have a fairly think and fast growing beard. Two weeks is the longest I go without trimming it. I just use a hair buzzer to trim my beard. I use to have it longer but then it turned white overnight😢. So another reason to keep it short. I did shave a few weeks back since it got hot. Man, I hate shaving.
minoxidil deff turns vellus hair into terminal hair. lost half my beard due to alopecia/stress during to covid; then started using minox and it came back and stayed back its been 3-4 years now. Fuller now too.
yeah minoxidil absolutely works, i went from literally only being able to grow a mustache to having a full beard (not as good as Tim’s but still) in a year. you just have to be consistent with it. and it’s been two years since then and i haven’t lost any hair
Bro, I could stimulate growth of my beard by shaving it. And in fact, I was focusing more on one side because it had less hair and it grew full. Now I have a problem at the other side suddenly.
The hair growth with minoxidil is permanent once the hairs reach their terminal stage (thick and not blonde baby hairs). I went from nothing to full beard in a year and have kept results. There are potential side effects with minoxidil so please do your own research before trying.
Minoxidil on the cheeks is the best remedy for bear growth, I did it and my beard is ticker than yours and I grew it at 24.. before that I had nothing just the goatee.
My barber fucked it up and trimmed it too high above the neck line hella unevenly and the back of sideburns straight down but not in a straight line. Damn it there goes 2 months of growth.
I have big patches on my cheeks right above the bone wich just looks weird. Also I'm blonde and even though I got smaller hairs everywhere they are basically invisible. The thicker hair gains color when growing, so the root starts blonde and the rest get's red over time.
I am doctor.. U can use minoxidil for beard... If u have small follicles it will surely grow big if u use minoxidil... (But if u feal itchy after that.. Thats cause of starting of fungal infection due to more water content of minoxidil.. In that case just apply an antifungal cream simultaneously) - also u can stop minoxidil after u feel beard has grown(note - not same case with hair) 🔥
I used minoxidil for 2 years, i had 0 beard literally, i started when i was 18, now I'm 22, my beard isn't going anywhere, even if i shave it, it grows back
Used minoxidil for 16 months then stopped. Haven't used it in over 3 years. My beard hair never fell out and it has filled out nicely. It's anecdotal of course but I had a friend who started around the same time as me and had the exact same experience. Great video otherwise!
as someone with a beard, please don't recommend the bulldog beard balm. its not a traditional balm and more like a cream, it makes my beard feel wet, then dries it out.
The thumbnail tho, from a senior undergrad to a GOW 😂
What is GOW mean?
@@alx25 I guess, God of War (the video game series).
Just say Kratos lol. Even though it isn’t Kratos style, he’d have to trim it to be pointy after growing it for months.
😂
At 32 I still hope to hit puberty in the next couple years and beard should be in full action then for sure
😂😂😂😂

Don’t cut it for 5 months

i need a video on how to get to the “before” stage
Just started my beard growth journey yesterday! Bookmarked this video, super helpful!
Give us an update

Minoxidil is permanent for beards, can confirm from experience

It suits you really well and these are some great tips.
This video is super helpful! I've had a beard on and off for the past 2 years and haven't really known how to take care of it. Thank you❤❤

Long beard suits you best imo

this beard is your peak my friend
I use bulldog beard oil, balm and face wash👌
great vid, no bs just facts. Genetics is everything.
growing your beard like that long makes your face appear even more bigger or longer.trim and groom it almost as closer to your skin.

Did you stop using it?
Oil straight on the skin may cause acne. It block pores. It’s better to use moisturizer
you posted this right after i shaved off my 2 week beard :(
Man you look majestic 🗣️🫂
I think the youtube algorithm got the wrong idea when recommending this video to me, my beard is lacking because I'm a woman lmao
That's no excuse, work hard on it and you will grow one too.
work hard queen youve got this 💅
Been waiting for this one🙌
High quality video as always, this video was very helpful.
Young men def need to hear this, good vid

Bro, I could stimulate growth of my beard by shaving it. And in fact, I was focusing more on one side because it had less hair and it grew full. Now I have a problem at the other side suddenly.

Thank you Tim

How do u keep ur skin clean plz can u make a video about how to keep face skin clean. ? Pls and thank u

Most saying they prefer the before long beard look but I like this beard look more

I use Minoxidil and I can say it work and the hairs remain
0:05 left side looks like bear transplant honestly. The perfectly even distribution and great density is a tell. I could be wrong tho.
Looks natural to me 😂 my beard usually is longer but I trimmed it super short and it kinda looks like that now
My barber fucked it up and trimmed it too high above the neck line hella unevenly and the back of sideburns straight down but not in a straight line. Damn it there goes 2 months of growth.
Damn that's a nice beard omg

Talk about your new tattoos Tim.

I have facial hair, I also do have a sideburn (which it’s growing atm) and I have a mustache with some chin hair, does it mean my beard is growing?

Is beard oil or beard serum good for growth..?!
Wow... amazing beard!
Bro went from selling computer parts to selling premium gasoline.
i cant grow anything on my cheeks, only on the jawline and the neck
idk what to do i really wanted to grow a beard
Nice 👍... thanks for advice..
How to keep ur beard straight.?
Bearded Tim gave me a jumpscare 😅
nice vid bro! 👍👍👍
What annoys me is the constant splits and ingrown hair at the same exact spot. Keep my skin clean and apply beard oil but still the splits keep coming
First time seeing an Asian with a full beard
my dude went from b*tch to boss in the thumbnail
beard gang we are here
Used minoxidil for 16 months then stopped. Haven't used it in over 3 years. My beard hair never fell out and it has filled out nicely. It's anecdotal of course but I had a friend who started around the same time as me and had the exact same experience. Great video otherwise!

can I use beard oil if I have acne near jaw area ?
pls reply
keep the beard !!!

Highly recommend not using white hoodies or shirts because you can see right through your beard
Bro looks aesthetics
genetics is the solution

Damn, Tim switch hits barber?

You are way better with a beard then not

Minoxidil absolutely DESTROYED my skin. idk why, but i had a severe allergic reaction and it was never the same, so talk to a doctor first
i think that asians with beards ❤️❤️❤️ look beautiful
Bruh, you look like the dad form turning red when your shaved
im a woman watching the video even though i have no beard 😂
Beard looks better with long hair
