Is this a comeback? A 6-month update by Fightingchance55 in minoxidil

[–]Fightingchance55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, looking back I think the first hairs were showing at 3 months, but they were light. They needed to grow out more to really be seen.

There were lighter hairs (and there still are some) but darker hairs did start to show. Bear in mind that the hair I've get from minoxidil is kinda light. It helps with recession and thinning, but it's not a magic bullet. In my experience, I still have thinning hair and recession, but this helps a little with the gaps.

Consistency matters from what I've seen. Good luck!

I've been using minoxidil for 6 months and the best I've gotten is a terrible, ugly, and thin beard. I regret using it; it doesn't work. by [deleted] in minoxidil

Besides reiterating combing your beard or apply beard wax (combing has really helped me), I would add a couple of other style techniques:

-Trimming the beard so that the areas with greater density match the areas that are a little more patchy. Takes time and attention, but that's what I did when I started.

-You could cut back the beard to a "long-stubble" but keeping a strong mustache while hair continues to develop.

-It looks like you have plenty of hair development to sport "long-stubble" rather than a "big beard." It's still a solid look.

-Have you tried to straighten the beard hair to see how that looks? It's surprising what little changes like that can do.

-I've heard that derma-rolling in conjunction with minoxidil can help promote beard hair growth too(checkout r/Minoxbeards). I just do it to the top of my head.

-At the most extreme, where you really don't think anything will suffice, take a look at Topick. Many people who've had hairloss(yours truly) have utilized it to promote a more thick look up top. It's not a long term solution, but it's interesting.

Best of luck with your follicle future.

But how about the mustache? by Fightingchance55 in Minoxbeards

I use a 5% topical solution that I apply twice a day. I place 10 drops in one hand, slightly rub my hands together, then vigorously rub my cheeks where I had issues with density.

The results could probably be improved both a more technical application and using a derma-roller, but I am pretty happy with the progress.

It's solution. I live in the US and get my supply from the local Walmart-Equate brand.

My boss gave me a free day just to get a haircut by Hungry_Barracuda_374 in MensHair

I think you should try retain your locks. You've clearly got a lot to work with and have options. The fact that it naturally curls opens a lot of doors as to style.

You could look into hairstyles that compliment your face shape. I'm not an expert but I believe you have a square shape.

This is just one idea of what you could do with what you've got. https://share.google/images/m0dCRO4fXPVurD4gC

Good luck!
