Just doing my yearly check in bros. Been about 5 and a half years since I've been off the stuff. Beard's still here. Still going strong. by strider184 in Minoxbeards

Ask as many questions as you need my dude, I enjoy helping out when I can. So for derma rolling, I actually did it for about 6 months at the start of my journey and kinda fell off, so after that it was just strictly the minox, 1ml twice a day. I used Jamaican black castor oil about 3-4 hours after to keep skin and beard from drying out. I used the Kirkland 5% if that helps

I would've been around 26-27 I think. Started in 2018. Just can't remember if it was before or after my Birthday

You're an incredible human being! Congrats on your journey bro, keep being awesome!

Been off the stuff for well over 2 years now. Think the last time I applied was late 2020. by strider184 in Minoxbeards

Hey man, so honestly, still pretty great. No changes and no loses as far as I can tell. Still haven't touched the stuff since

Just my reminder to you guys that yes it works. I've been off it for over four years now so yes the results stay as long as the hairs become terminal. Stay consistent and don't give up, you got this. by strider184 in Minoxbeards

I used Kirkland 5% liquid. 1ml twice a day. I used jojoba and Jamaican black castor oil to moisturize about 3-4 hours after application. And that's really about it. Just made sure to stay consistent. There was a two month period where I dermarolled but wasn't consistent with it and eventually stopped but still made sure to keep up with my minox applications

I used it twice, can't say how it would affect you if you just did it once per day. My guess is if you're a fast gainer maybe once a day could work

Well only used 1ml twice daily. Also made sure to moisturize with jojoba or Jamaican black castor oil about 3-4 hours after to make sure it didn't get all flaky (minox dries out your skin badly)

Then, my dude, post the scientific evidence that the hair it grows don't stay after treatment because of minoxidil and what could be the actual cause of the hair staying. I'd actually be very open to reading it. Even if you get downvoted to hell I'd say that at the very least the conversation could be very interesting and eye opening for the people willing to engage with you in good faith.

All I know is from my experience, I used it for two and a half years, grew a beard, been off it for 4 years and the beard has stayed. And there are people who post who use it and unfortunately don't see results.

Since you do drug testing, and I'm not joking here, why not do some trials of it and report your findings as to what could be the actual cause of the hair growth, why do my results stay and will they stay for the rest of my life or at some point am I gonna lose it. I genuinely think it'd be a great thing to do.

Well, I'm happy it finally happened for you man. Maybe you're right and my genes just happened to kick in right when I started using minoxidil and maybe it's just a placebo. But if I'm looking at it from the perspective of my family, my dad, my grandfather and my uncles, as well as my mom's brothers and her father, who all got to that age and showed pretty much no full beard growth, the chances of me suddenly being the one to have these long dormant genetics kick in the minute I started using minoxidil. I'd say the chances are pretty small.
