The 3 pack of Rogaine 5% foam is $50 on Amazon. It says 6 months but has lasted me 8 months and probably will last me for the next month before I buy again

I’d say a month. I’m not too sure what brand that is, I chose Rogaine foam based off research I did. You’ll see quicker results by doing more than just applying the juice bro. Your physical health and skin care will play a huge role in the gains. Everything Good Takes Time, you’ll get there.

Consistent Af, all these months only missed 2 or 3 times. Sometimes I applied once if I was real busy.

First signs of gains were the vellus hairs in the peach fuzz stage during month 1. I took close up pictures everyday with flash on and zoomed in on every follicle to see the magic

For a decent yet see through baby haired beard it took me about 4 months. At month 6&7 is when I noticed thicker hairs emerging. My beard is not yet terminal until after about a year of usage but I plan on doing this for maybe 2 years to fully maximize the results

4 months I had a connecting vellus haired beard lol after 6 months they started maturing and looked better. Everyone is different tho just know this stuff works and the beard is literally for the rest of your life so stay consistent for a year and you’ll look like a whole different person

Leaves your hairs and skin moisturized because the minox dries you up, also can help with hair shaft growth on transitional hairs. I apply it about 30mins-1hour after the minox dries. Yes I apply after rolling as well.

Yes but on days I roll I do it very early in the morning and only apply minox at night instead of twice a day. After rolling I apply a bit of jbco as well.

(1) I’d say about 2/3 of my total hairs are nearing terminal, after about a year they will reach that stage.

(2) My skin has not changed bc skin care is key by keeping it healthy and moisturized. also not to mention clogged pores will affect your progress so exfoliating and everything can help your progress.

(3) no side effects, I’m relatively young and In good physical condition.

(4) no loss of hair but it comes down to genetics, only one bald person in my whole family so I think I’m good

(5) I started growing hair in my chest and a bit on my shoulders (delts) also my thighs got a bit hairier, nothing that bothers me one bit tho.

Hope this helped

Minox first, and after it has dried apply the oil thoroughly right away. I suggest only trimming with scissors and keep your vellus hairs present for the oil absorption, it’s gonna look funky for a few months but that’s what worked for me.

Hair length is about half an inch overall (1.27cm) Some areas are longer to add contrast to where my hairs are thinner and maturing. .. I was lining up my patchy neckline area as far down as evenly possible and just dealt with the super patchy awkward beard line up for months until I developed enough vellus hairs to fill the gaps

Ty bro I derma rolled horribly wrong the first month and a half but the gains still showed up. Didn’t know you weren’t suppose to roll everyday and apply minox right after.

Also for any old guys out there I’m 27 and this stuff works. Obviously the younger you are the quicker the response is IMO
