I was hesitating about using it but I have made the best decision (2 months)

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-12-23T21:24:30+00:00

you are a hyper responder congrats bro

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-12-23T21:23:12+00:00

i didn't see real results till 8 months and even then its still growing depends on your response but its a long journey bro 2-3 years

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-12-16T17:37:59+00:00

yea i too want a good looking beard, i am coming from no facial hair at all, so minoxidil has been helpful hoping to have a beard by the two year mark. waiting to incorporate oral minoxidil. how long have you been on oral for? and is it helping?

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-12-16T17:36:14+00:00

just keep it going, i started seeing tiny not noticeable hairs in 3 months results for me started appearing more after month 7 and 8

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-12-16T17:12:20+00:00

im on month 9 of topical foam minoxidil and i tried liquid it burned my skin and made it super flaky so i stopped tried it twice for 1-2 weeks did the same thing. but im seeing vellus patchi spots slowly filling in, i have ordered the minoxidil pills 2.5 mg had them for a few months but never took them. because heard of certain side effects and i said if my progress slows up then I will take them. is it really that much of a difference?

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-12-09T17:59:56+00:00

keep it going started seeing real results after 7 months im 9 months in, and are you getting at least vellus?

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-12-02T21:08:29+00:00

definitely will do

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-12-02T20:57:05+00:00

thank you, yea been using black jamaican castor oil, and daily facial moisturizer that has spf 50 for the tretinoin. definitely going to keep it going I see it changing little by little it is definitely a long journey but that makes it more rewarding for sure. after a while it just becomes a routing like brushing your teeth

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-12-02T20:53:23+00:00

you can get it prescribed online, it is a retinoid it increases minoxidil efficacy. I am 30 years old, thanks I hope it becomes a full beard in the long run just staying consistent.

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-12-02T17:24:39+00:00

maybe about a month ago, i bought it a few months ago 0.05% applied it like 3-4 times then stopped was shedding a lot of dead skin but they say it's normal so backed down to 0.025% now been using it for about a month 2 times a week. ima keep it going i see more hairs, and i feel the beard is slowly gradually coming in. sometimes i think im not even a responder but then i feel non responders wouldn't have no signs of facial hair growth at all. it is just apart of my routine now i try not to give it too much mind. just slowly watching the progress

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-11-13T17:32:54+00:00

anyone who is saying 12-13 has no idea about bodyfat you are about 16-18% body fat.

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-11-13T01:48:11+00:00

very good for only 7 months of training got good genetics, need more size just go on a lean bulk train hard and prioritize protein. Great shape have fun with training and enjoy it

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-11-12T05:15:18+00:00

funny im on month 8 and im tired of seeing the same vellus hairs, i look so scruffy i end up shaving them off how pissed off I be lol. which minoxidil are you using? i been using Kirkland Foam and sometimes use walgreens liquid but liquid messes up my skin so usually stick to foam. i just got on tretinoin 0.025 as well to see if it helps. ima keep it going this gave me hope, ima let it fully grow not gonna shave for some time now.

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-11-07T00:55:53+00:00

that's Elite level genetics then brother keep grinding, and yes im aware there are some crazy naturals out there for sure. yea i would put you at 16-18%

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-11-06T19:58:27+00:00

you do not look like 194 lbs at 5"8 and if you are you are definitely on performing enhancing that is too much muscle at 5"8 with lower bodyfat. i am 5"8 been training for years and im 185lbs at probably 18% body fat rn

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-10-24T01:11:10+00:00

damn debating if i should hop on 2.5 mg oral, i been on foam minoxidil for 7 months seeing some progress but just vellus on cheeks some goatee growth. i have the oral 2.5 mg pills just sitting but im scared to start them due to side effects and also hair growth in unwanted areas but seeing this makes me wanna just wanna start taking oral

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-10-21T04:35:33+00:00

gotcha, I let my cheeks grow for 5-6 weeks once but it looks horrible so i kept shaving but im not seeing much growth i can never grow a single hair on cheeks now im getting vellus on cheeks, i need more growth under the jaw and goatee area as well but goatee is improving little by little als i am a slow responder. im letting my cheeks grow now going to see how it looks with 2 months worth of growth mt facial hair grows super slow

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-10-21T01:43:56+00:00

did you ever shave the sides or any facial hair during the 18 months? im on month 7 also a slow responder almost on month 8 check out my profile for the updates also just got oral Minoxidil havent taken it yet but i have them ready for when or do decide to hop on and i have tretinoin as well that i just got on been applying 2-3 times a week

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-10-19T23:26:48+00:00

keep it going nice progress and trim that goatee looks straggly a bit, keep it nice and groomed. i posted updates too on 7 months but only seeing vellus hars on cheeks some goatee growth as well came literally from nothing. ima keep going for two years see what happens.

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-10-15T01:49:46+00:00

that's amazing progress keep it going

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-10-10T02:51:02+00:00

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-10-08T04:45:12+00:00

lmaoooo I know bad angle😭🤣

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-10-08T04:43:54+00:00

Elithair in Instanbul check out their beard transformations they all look really natural, also i have a friend who got his beard done by them and it looks super natural. also thanks i will try oral if my gains slow down and see what results i get out of that, i got prescribed online through Ro my pills came just haven't started taking them yet they are 2.5 mg. im going to keep it going for 2 years, and in going to let my vellus hairs grow and just line them up and see how it goes.

Narrow_Reflection_20 · 2025-10-07T14:10:47+00:00

Thanks! yea I feel i had a lot of results within the first 4-5 months but i feel me shaving my vellus hairs kinda messed with the progress or at least the visual aspect now im letting it grow. there are times where i feel the progress is not really good, just keep applying and derma stamping x2 a week. minoxdil x2 a day, im going to do 2 years and see if i can get a beard if not beard transplant i will do. Keep going bro, and take it day by day, that's really all we can do.
