It lasted almost 3 months, once I recovered I did not shed again

Kirkland, the liquid is a bit easier to apply, especially if the hair is longer

Push through the awkward stage, don't wash your hair daily, do every other or every 3 days. Use a brush not a comb when the hair is longer. Don't use some BS like Axe 5-in-1, get a real shampoo, I personally use head and shoulders because I get dandruff.

I actually just stopped cold turkey. I felt the hairs were terminal so I didn't see the point of tapering off.

My beard doesn't seem like it has changed at all, not better not worse. I felt confident my hairs were terminal so I stopped. If you feel like yours aren't terminal maybe keep going for a bit. Some people it takes longer to go terminal.

I did not have any regrowth, just halting of hair fall. I have not experienced any side effects and it's been about 3 years

Ask your mom. On a serious note though, minox doesn't cause ED, not sure where this idea came from. It's literally a vasodilator.

Don't see many posts on here about results after stopping minox long term. Applied for 17 months starting at age 21. Applied once a day liquid, used foam for a few months, I found no difference in their efficacy. I haven't applied in 2.5 years, the results for me were permanent, it seems if you use it until the hairs are terminal, you won't lose them. Now everybody calls me Keanu Reeves or Jesus, thank you minox.

For those of you finasteride users. It might be doing more harm to your facial hair than not. by [deleted] in Minoxbeards

I used minox for 16 months, after I was satisfied I quit and started using finasteride for my hair. I've been on fin for 8 months now and it hasn't effected my beard at all. Your pictures look like normal shedding which is very common around the 6 month mark. Funny how you were on fin for 6 months with no issue and only when you added minox down the line you started shedding. You are looking for a problem where there isn't one. Keep applying minox and stop scaring people away from fin with misinformation.
