  • This is my beard journey from baby face to solid stubble. This video describes the very beginning of the beard journey. I go over the first month of applying minoxidil and using it to grow a full beard. I hope my videos can encourage you to get your very own beard as well. Do not give up hope!

    Great journey sir!
    A few questions.
    1. DId you stop using Minoxidil after a year and a half ? if so did you lose any of your gains ?
    2. Did you notice any hair shedding on your scalp ? If so did it come back when you stopped ?

    • @monkybeard

      1) I am still taking Minoxidil, aiming for the 3 year mark. For the last 6 months I have been ramping down my usage, I am now down to 1-2x a week. No losses yet.
      2) I noticed some hair shedding early on, but my hairline has not receded much at all in the 3 years even though I do not apply Minoxidil to my scalp directly. Shedding for the beard happens every 6 months and is scary, you feel like you regress but then it comes back fuller.
      Stay Strong Beard Brother 💪

    Hey, thanks for the content! Curious, when you talk about trimming instead of shaving for preservation for vellus hairs. How long / short is considered trimming vs shaving?

    • @monkybeard
      @monkybeard  Рік тому +1

      I leave at least 4mm when I trim, shaving I would say means going to skin

      Hello Mohammed, how old are you? Also I get it, it is very discouraging in the beginning. If you look at my photos, there is not much of anything going on in the first month. It wasn't until month 3 that I really saw something change.

      @@mohammedkarrouch3158 Hello Mohammed, you are at the right age to use Minoxidil to get a beard. If it is any consolation, my entire extended family really can't grow facial hair, even a moustache is out of reach for us. So I was very skeptical I could grow anything, now I get compliments on the regular about my beard. So stick with it, and I would recommend making a skin care routine that you can stick to. Stay strong, you got this! Take progress pics, it REALLY helps. Even to this day, I look at my beard and think it is insufficient, but looking back I am amazed at how far I have come.

      Yes i can say that your development is amazing bro i ve seen all your videos development and it worth it
      For me i'am sticking with it right now and after 4 month i id try to give update
      I only have question
      When i go to the barber for cutting my hair , should i keep that tiny hair on my face or i can cut it too without a problem
      I'am sorry if i didn't express it well but i think you understood what i want to say
      Because when you cut the hair above , that hair on the face look so ugly
      And thank you so much for sharing and responding ❤️🙏🏼

    aye brotha, been following you i had a question did you shave after a month? And if you shaved did you use a razor or a buzzer?

    • @monkybeard
      @monkybeard  16 днів тому

      I personally like using the trimmer/buzzer. The hair takes forever to grow back if I shave. And it comes back patchy, so then I have to wait until it grows back in again, trim it to the same length and then it looks good.
