This is the video I've been looking for thank you brother
Appreciate your videos man. Keep them up.
Nice informative video, thank you.
I started with the foam and I grew a very nice beard . I stopped using and my hair fell out , I forgot it takes a while to turn permanent. But I still have a beard , but with the foam it’s a tad hard getting to the skin especially on the chin . Soni think I will change to the liquid now . Maybe Kirklands brand
On my minoxidil journey now. Already 2 months. Now I'm switching from liquid to foam. Great video mate.
Yeah do you have an update?
I started with liquid and my arm hair grew thick. Results were great but I stopped. 2 years layers I’m now using foam
cool thanks - I've been beard-journeing consequently for the past 1.5 years and there are indeed results - definitely works better than I had ever expected, but it's also not done yet after 1.5 years so it does take patience. Cool to see others have the same passion though so thanks for this video.
Do you think you'll lose what you grew if you stop minoxidil?
@@exerciserelax8719 I am now almost 4 years into it and the changes do seem premanent, but I have experienced some adverse events in my general health, I am not sure how much they are related to minoxidil - so I am still unsure if I can recommend it. For me there just didn`t seem to be another choice. It is also not a real "full beard" I have gained, but I think it would qualify as "goatee".
Hey I’m on my minox journey too. Good luck man. I’m definitely your seeing improvement. Keep up the good content!
Are u using liquid or foam? What about side effects?
Looks like you commented this a while ago. How's it the minoxbeard going now?
@@zt1788 they never reply back to you, bro. SMH
That point about foam having a hard time penetrating your skin if you already have a beard is essential. I've been using foam and have been needing to trim them every few weeks just so I know that my skin is actually getting minoxidil and not the beard.
I hate the liquid but when I'm using it I know I'm actually getting it on my skin.
Thanks a lot. Answered all my queries
Hi, I’ve watched two (2) of your videos, liked both of them, & subscribed to your channel. I just started my Minoxidil journey last night. I purchased a six-pack of Kirkland Minoxidil 5% from Costco yesterday.
Nice (nice)
Update?
hi how to determine if the kirland foam minoxidil is fake?. ive been using liquid minox for 3 months and the result was huge. i have my foam right now. then when i noticed there is no hair to grow. thanks for the answer.
I feel like the foam was more effective. My beard was patchy with the liquid and grew unevenly. The foam filled in those holes. Can’t go wrong
nice. which did you start with?
@@sandiago7564 5 percent is good
not at all. liquid is way more effective
@@Coregame3Ok lil bro bro
How soon can i use lotion/sunscreen after applying the foam minoxidil?
I used a liquid six month supply and my beard looks good, so I'm going to used the foam to patch some areas and get a fuller looking beard 😅
Ive been trying to grow a beard just like you, your videos are very informational, Whats your weekly routine for the Foam? How many times do you put the foam on your face per day ? and for how many hours ?
Do you use a derma roller ?
What other products and info can you hell me with ?
I really wanna grow a beard and this definitely seems like the way to go
Ive subbed and im following your journey
How has your journey been?
When it comes to your skincare routine, do you recommend to put on the minoxidil before or after your skin care routine?
Hi, I don't know if you'd see this but, im wondering if I have to use the same amount of minox if I already have a decent beard, I just have some holes to fill out. I used to use 0.5ml twice a day (half of the normal dose) Is that right?
Best videooo ever! you’re awesome!!! Thank u
Just started using foam for the first time, I can’t wait to see my results in the coming months
Congrats! It'll be awesome, and good move going for foam! 😁
Good luck man! Just be patient and consistent and the results will come!
@Willaim Morgan Update?
Results?
I’ve noticed a lot more growth while using minoxidil. There’s still some patchy spots on my cheeks.
I am using it only once a day apply on right side of the face. One little spot with no beard on it. Is it enough once a day? I started 5 days ago?
in terms of side effects, what do you mean by hair under your eyes?
Great video. I actually used the liquid minoxidil for about 4 months , like 5 years ago and it worked pretty well. I should have kept using it a bit longer as some of my progress regressed. I tried using it again this year, but this time the fumes were giving me headaches and dizziness. I want to try the foam version with hopes that it does not give me headaches. If anyone has any insights, that would be appreciated 👍🏼
Hey hey. So being that I wear my mask the foam would be my best bet right. Since your saying it drys so fast. And what is your facial cleanser routine if you have one ?
Pls if u are using the foam can u apply cream on your face
Personally just from 4 days of using the foam version I can say it’s kind to my skin and I feel my face itching a lot which means new growth is coming into my beard, I hope in these 3 months I can complete my full beard instead of just having a goatee
I see this was posted 3 weeks ago. How are your gains? Do you see a difference?
@@noquestionnolie I have seen some progress I’m currently on month 2, my left side is coming along just fine, but my right side (weak side) still needs more work, but overall I am seeing a small difference and that’s better than nothing.
@Ilia Raev great results, the beard is nearly complete I say in three more months I’m good to go
What’s the progress now man?
@@xef3547 beard is around 75%. It’s just sides that need more growth. Would’ve been there already if my barber didn’t cut so much off when I told him not too.
I used Kirkland minoxidil liquid for one year in 2019 and it worked pretty good... This year 2023 I will be using rogaine minoxidil foam for the whole year and see how it goes 😎
Good choice, that’s what I’m using now the Rogaine foam, 2 months in, good results so far !
@@MinoxJoenWhat’s the update bro?
Did the hair fall out when you stopped using it in 2019? How did your year go this time?
@@exerciserelax8719 about 40% fell off when I stop using it in 2019 😭.. I am currently using the foam everyday. I am afraid if I stop using it I will loose it again 😭 so I use it every single day
Nice video to a nice product
What about using face cleanser products before you put on the foam? Or the product in general... Is that a common idea? Was thinking of clearing my pores before I started...
I know it's 3y ago but you need to wash you face before if you already have beard use beard shampoo if not use soap
Thanks the video I was looking for
im using it for 90plus till now 1% result.....will it work?im using dermaroller n biotin.....im 34yrs old
I have a question! If the minoxidil liquid takes more than an hour to dry out completely can i use a blowdryer on my face to dry it quickly?
Oooh good question! ☺️ I remember sitting in front of the fan trying to make it dry faster every morning before class tomorrow 😭 I wouldn't use a blow dryer, I don't know how the heat would affect the minoxidil, but if it was set to a cold setting then I think you'd be okay. HOWEVER, I don't know that I really recommend it, because rather than being absorbed into your skin, the minoxidil would just dry on your face, leaving a white looking residue. My advice would be to try foam, which dries in 90 seconds, but otherwise I think the Minox is just gonna take awhile to absorb unfortunately 😭
The goal is for your face to fully absorb the Minoxidil. Sititing in front of the fan, near the direct breeze of an air conditioner, or worse, blow drying it would only evaporate the liquid/foam, wasting your $$$ and effort.
@@ToBeardAndBeyond I have question can I use cream or oil just after the foam?
Hey bro do I wash after applying the foam ?
I didn't receive the dropper with the minoxidil, but I have a dropper that is from the beard oil bottle is it okay to use it if I clean with water
Yes
Can you eat/snort face dandruff??
Minox is already expensive to get here in the EU since it's semi-banned, so the foam is even more expensive.
Lol i just bought 2 ounce for 58€ lol.... its very expensive and hard to find but a UA-camr put a link in his description i think there is few but not many
When you stop using it do you lose the hair you gained? I know that's supposed to happen on top of your head but I've heard people say that their beard changes were permanent.
I tried liquid at 1st, same effect like you. Pimples started come out. But the beard grow faster. Compare to foam, a bit slower for me. But easy to handle.
were you able to stop the acne or is switching to foam from liquid the only option?
@@Amber-596 as a man, i don’t really care about the acne. But it slowly getting worse, then I need to take care of my skin. Wash my face, using face steamer etc. But a lot of work. That’s why I’m using foam right now. Because I’m sooooooo lazy. LOL
@@epetronggeng what does face steamer do? And which 1 do you recommend?
@@Scars_on_my_nose Currently I'm using Panasonic Nano facial steamer. Because I have oily skin. But you also can use hot water to steaming your face.
@@epetronggeng my skin is also oily, what does the steamer do?
Just here to say you Can use it once a day, I’ve used it once a day at night and pretty much have a full beard lol even at 1mm length
How to avoid acne
So the best solution is to buy both versions and use them depending on the scenario.
What about gel type , bro ??
On my second week on minoxidil (rograine for canada) my sideburns are growing close to my beard!
YES!! Keep it up brother, it just gets better 😁
How's the progress?
@@rohithftw2187 i have a beard. Almost the same as his
I put liquid minoxidil (0,75ml) on my face today (I shaved before), and it felt like I applied water. My face didnt get wet more than 3 minutes! And you re telling me it take 60 min to dry, did I get scammed? I have the same product as you!
dude its with alcohol - it evaporates
I use to use minoxidil, and I stop using minoxidil for a couple of years,.. What happen when i started to use it again Will my beard fall off?
In my experience, yes. My beard fell out but nothing huge. At least not to me because my beard was patchy already so it just became a little more patchy at first than it came it like normal again.
Can I apply pomade on my face and use the foam too as well
why would you apply pomade? do you have a bid beard or moustache??
I use the Kirkland liquid monoxide I notice it dries in maybe 5-10mins
so it's completely safe to touch your face once the minoxidil dries?
i guess but i will touch it minimally so that i dont mess with the absorbtion lol, at least for the first 4 hours after applying.
I'm sick and tired of liquid even with moisturizer sometimes my face itches like a bitch I swear I've lost hair from how much I scratch my cheek but I bought 2 bottle of liquid I'll be down with the first in a week then I just gotta put up with the 2nd but once I'm finished with it I'm going full foam.
I was in the exact same place and foam did WONDERS for me, I hope it helps you 😁
I love the foam. I started out on the foam but once i started sprouted more hair its become more difficult to get to the skin. So now i find myself switching to the liquid. Im going to try this out so i can get to my skin. Hopefully it works.
You could just shave and still use the foam
Foam is worth the extra money in my opinion. Much easier to apply. Doesn’t drip like the liquid.
Just rub in the liquid not hard 😂
@@KayKapone1 it’s a liquid genius, you don’t rub in liquid unless you drop it very slowly and drop by drop. The whole point is foam is easier
@@Rizzy_K genius you must be from America because the minoxidil in Europe you spray it. So spray it on your face and rub it in…. What ain’t you getting “genius” clown
I just started
Lots of people saying foam is best. More expensive but totally worth it.
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching all my videos, I checked our your channel yesterday and love your stuff too man! 😁
@@ToBeardAndBeyond thanks brother I appreciate that! You're a natural on camera I've just been enjoying watching you grow so fast.
I am using liquid minoxidil 5%
Can i wash my face after 90 minutes ?
Please someone answer me and sorry for bad English.
No, you need to wait al least 3 hours
The foam dried in seconds for me. Is it supposed to be that fast??
Yes
Can I use the foam on my head hair too
You do know that it's made to use on your head so of course you can 🤫
I started my journey Today. Just applied minox liquid for the first time, after 30min I felt like a stone hit the top of my head (lasted for 5 hours). lol :/
Oh gosh! I hope that gets better! 😭 It feels super hot and strange at first!
Does it worked brother ? How's it's going on ?
Lmao
@@abhinavpokharkar266 bro it worked for me ..
Can I use the liquid in the morning and then the foam at night ?
Is it safe
Same question
Liquid Rogaine for me
I have no facial hair at all how can I get a beard?
Check out my first video 😁
@Sung Gaming try minoxidil i promise you it really works I started off having no facial hair now the results are slowly coming thru
Daniel Kwabena how long did it take bro ?
Anyone here using Qgain minoxidil ? Is it good?
I've never used it, but it should be pretty similar to the others! 😁
Hey bro, I just bought the liquid and started the journey couple days ago. Quick question, is the liquid effective as the foam??
They're the same, but I recommend foam!
Update?
Wait you grew hair near your eyes?!
How long do I keep this substance on my face?
4 hours in the morning and at night, 1-2 years
@@ToBeardAndBeyond do we put in 2x inca day? Why
thx
44 years old and could never grow anything close to a beard. Over the past year or two ive started to grow more hair on the side of my face. Just started this week on minoxidil, well see if it works for us old dudes?
Update?
Update us bro
Update?
Update??
.
Foam made me loose so much ground. Liquid and oral works the best for me.
this
If I use foam, how long do I wait in between applications to achieve 2 items a day
Times
After you brush your teeth in the morning and at night.
I made the mistake of buying 6 months worth of liquid before I got foam🤦♂️
I did that too
Can I apply nivea cream after the minoxidil? Or like sun cream?
Yeah it's actually recommended to use a moisturizer after applying minox just make sure You wait at least 4 hours.
Nivea Soft works amazing for me! I usually wait until after the 4 hours to put it on 😁
I’ve seen UA-cam comments that Liquid Minoxidil causes heart palpitations, head aches while Foam generally does not!
Yeah it depends i use the liquid one and that never happened to me, its just luck i think
I think it will only happen if it goes through the blood stream systemically but needs alot to do that and topically doesn't go systemic or if it does it's very very minimal so you should be fine. I've started the liquid but will prob go on to the foam at some point
Can I use foam in the morning and then liquid at night?
Thanks for the reply ☺️
That’s my plan, right now I only have liquid and I’m going to steal the foam soon
@@Scars_on_my_nose 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm on day 3. I bought the foam from Walmart. The only side effects so far is a little bit of a burning sensation for about 5 minutes after application. Then it goes away.
Yes, that's very normal, even shows up again occasionally 4 months later, but mostly in the first 2 weeks! Good luck on your journey! 😁
Any update, are u seeing results?
@@arbulonrexhepi I actually stopped pretty soon after. The more I read about potential side effects the less it was worth it.
@@Shane101A were u experiencing any major side effect?
@@arbulonrexhepi No. But I wasn't willing to change it anyways.
Is it safe to use a derma roller before applying minox?
I will advice you to use the minoxidil on your face before using roller is the best way, better use if use the roller before the minoxidil its really gets into the skin and it itch
Before: Before using a dermaroller, you must cleanse your face with soap and water (preferably something with antibacterial qualities). This is very important since there is loads of bacteria that are present on your face that could cause a multitude of infections if it gets into your skin.
If you are going to derma roll, please wait AT LEAST 24 hours before applying minox.
source: beardwiki.com/minoxidil-faq
I would use a derma roller on a minoxidil "off" day. I wouldn't recommend using both in the same day! Like the comments below say, there's a big danger of bacteria getting into the facial cuts 😬
Got it. Thank you guys!
I want to start these journey but i am scared of the side affects.. Like extra hair growing..somwwhere else in my body rather than on my face
So? Just shave it off, is not like you're going to grow a full set of hair on random places, it's just tiny little extra hairs
I have to say the biggest and only side effect I have had is skin dryness and itchyness (but it goes away after a few minutes), so far now, been on it in liquid form for 1 month and 2 weeks and feel content with the results, it's worth it bro!
@@alexrosario3635 thanks for your encouragement.. I will go with the foam and see what i can get.. I have many baby hair on my face and neck.. Hopes it turn terminal with the help of minox
Definitely a real fear for everyone who does minoxidil! The biggest side effect was actually the dry skin and itchiness for me too. I occasionally find smaller hairs under my eyes or on my ear, but SUPER easy to trim, and they go away when you stop minoxidil!
@@ToBeardAndBeyond I wanted to start these journey as soon as possible but because of quarantine i can't go out nor order it online.. I wish i would have know about minox before the lockdown 😆
@@mrhb6770 DANG! Ah man, sorry to hear that!!
Liquid dry in 90 minutes?? Are you crazy , it dry in 2 to 3 minutes and what I do I use hair dryer and it dry in 39 seconds
Now that I have started using foam, how long can it take me? Do you have any information?
Can we use it on our eyebrows?
Yes of course
Hi! I'm Asian and as stereotype... Asians can't grow facial hair. Grrrr.... I hate it!... 😭 Anyways... I like start my journey of beardness... I would like to know if you could use the foam at daytime application (for the reason I'm going to office at daytime) and using the liquid at night (coz i will be at home and i don't care if someone there will notice it)
I don't see why not! Personally I think foam is so much better than liquid, but that's my preference!
Update? Are u seeing results?
Which it's good and Asian get older very slow, you guy's without beard isn't the same like Caucasian without, we're getting older, you got natural face for it, we don't, Caucasian needs beard to look better but Asian not !
American moment it does not take 90 minutes for your beard to dry from the oil minoxidil
Its not oil, it takes 1 hour to absorb 50% of it, and 90% by 4hour
Dude you look a lot like this guy named Xiaoma. Look him up on UA-cam😂
Will do 😂
This is his 2nd channel
Foam just takes a bit longer but u won't get a heart attack or lose brain cells 😂.
Iiquid is better for beard
true
Hi. I'm on a minox journey for 5 weeks but doesnt show any results. I apply it 2x a day. When i wake up and in the afternoon after work. Am I doing this wrong? I'm using the liquid one btw. Thanks for any advise. Goodluck on your journey. :)
From what i have heard, you should give approx 12 hours gap b/w two applications.. don’t worry about the results, just follow the process for at least 3 months. :)
@@rohitbatra2950 Awesome! I'll keep that in mind. Hopefully I will see even abit of result after 3 months :) Also, is hair loss also normal in the process?
Shedding is normal as it makes way for darker and stronger new hair.. I have just completed only 3 weeks today, and haven't noticed any noticable shedding or hairfall. Neither does any growth or results so far but i think it will be worth continuing :)
Update?
.
Why you have no beard🤔
Liquid gave me heart palpitations
Me too! Have you tried the foam?
Why you talk about bear and monoxidil liquid vrs foam ??
The point is ... you don’t have any bear ! No hay in your face!!!
Wtf son🤪🤔😅🤭
Why in the hell are you putting it on your face?
He's wants a beard? 🤣
You don’t grow beard why you advising people bro?
Let me tell you brother, if I COULD grow a beard, I WOULD 😂 I'm taking minoxidil to do just that. I'm also not advising anything about HAVING a beard, only about how to use minoxidil
Watching a guy who cant even grow a beard give beard growing advice is like watching a homeless man give financial advice...
Bro I never give advice on growing a beard, I do give advice on how to use minoxidil though! 😂 This channels main purpose is to document my journey AS I GROW A BEARD. Think of it like someone documenting their weight loss journey while recommending the products that help them along the way 🤷🏻
😂😂😂 he's on a journey bro. He's just testing Jesus. But that did crack me up
I used Kirkland minoxidil oil for 2days and pimples/acne anywhere 🥹🤦♂️ .. I want to use the foam and see the results too
Update
What’s the update bro?
