    Minoxidil definitely works. I grew back my corners ( hairline). However, drinking a gallon of water a day, exercising, and eating healthy. Definitely helps too. Also, i take Saw Palmetto as well. Dont forget hair Growth oil too. Only side effects for me is dry scalp

      I’m trying to grow out my corners too. How long did you use it for and did you use anything else or have any other routine ? Also how did you fix the dryness of the scalp issue coz I notice my scalp is a little dry

      ​@@johnnysimps6495 sorry for the late response. I noticed my corners grew back after 3 months. Patience is the key. I used minoxidil twice a day. Once or twice a week. I derma stamp my hairline as well with 2 inch needle. The oil I used is rosemary and black Jamaican oil and then coconut oil. When it comes to oils I apply after the minoxidil. Coconut oil seal everything. My two cents. Don't put too much in your Bec you don't want to clog up hair follicles. I have a full head of hair. I rock the two strands and braids now. I am back in the game.

      @@truegrizzlesfan2292 no problem. Thank you so much. How often did you use the oil on your hair. I think that might be my issue coz I might be using a lot of oil which is clogging my pores and reducing absorption and penetration of minox leading to thin edges and little progress. Also did you use a steamer to help with the oil absorption and would you recommend? Finally did you stop using minox after the three months or are u still using it now?

      ​@@johnnysimps6495 I never stopped the minoxidil Bec I am afraid to lose the progress. I am so used to putting minoxidil in my hair. It's my daily routine. Also, bro. Less oil go a long way. Try one or two oil after applying minoxidil. Lastly, I do exercise , eat pretty healthy and I don't drink or smoke. And drink a gallon of water too. Hope this helps bro. Keep the faith and journey. My hairline was going towards the V shape. Before I started to used minoxidil.

    The foam is better often times than the liquid because of the ingredient (propylene glycol) that’s in the liquid. In the foam they took that ingredient out because people have complained about the side effects that you spoke about. Just a thought if you think about trying it again

    I used minoxidil for about 2 years for beard growth. I got some minor gains but nothing as significant as what I see a lot of others getting from it. I stopped using it about 2 months ago when I noticed the facial swelling and it still hasn’t returned to normal. Additionally I’m noticing some shedding going on where my gains were made. How long did the swelling last for you? I’ve read it can stay for months in some people. Also, do you find using peppermint oil to be as effective as the minox? I recently switched to a peppermint/jojoba oil but haven’t noticed any gains yet

    • @Gen3ralGrimReaper
      @Gen3ralGrimReaper 4 місяці тому

      I shed some skin sheddings but my hair does grow but slowly. I’ve been on and off due to not being consistent. When I first started I did see dry skin and burning sensation but that’s normal. I started using caster oil and I was good to go. My growth process was slow but now my beard looks pretty good. It’s similar to King Bril’s but I have a few patches that can be covered over with my thicker hair. I’m looking to use 1.0mm derma roller and Tugaine which is minoxidil’s 10% potency. I’ll use it but at the end of this year I may just leave the products alone and stick to oil, beard wash, and brush

    Is Minoxidil still by prescription only? I just watched your top 5 hairstyle video where you were talking about going back to the hairstyle you have in this video. I'm growing my beard and hair out. Beard is actually already growing out fast and I have my mini fro. I have had my clean cut and shave for too long and ready to go back with growth. I want the hairstyle you have in this video. Forgot what you called it in the other video...Funagi or something lol. I do use beard oil, and in fact, bought some organic growth oil from this sister and her partner who both had very thick and long locs. I cut my locs years ago for a girl. Worst decision I could make at the time lol. I won't make that mistake again.

      Bruh I grew my hairline back, no joke. I have pictures and rocking braids. First, see if you are low on vitamins by getting a blood test from your doctor. If you are low on certain vitamins take the appropriate amount. Then make sure you exercise and eat healthy. If you drink heavy and smoke. You should stop because you killing your immune system. Not a doctor. Also,.derma stamp once 2-3 week. ( research to see which lengths best for you).. minoxidil helps twice a day. Then apply black Jamaican oil. 4 months my hairline came back. No joke.
