The Minoxidil Experiment for Facial Hair

Well-known member
When using Minoxidil for facial hair growth, I recommend Minoxdil 5% solution. Generic brand name is Rogaine 5%. Apply twice daily, 1ml in morning and night.

As we know minoxidil will stimulate hair growth but only if there are hair follices there. Most people with weak or non existent facial hair do in fact have follices, however for whatever reason were never stimulated into growing. Many people like me aren't gifted with a full healthy beard, but no worries because there is a way to change that.

There is a huge thread with thousands of peoples experiences on using minox for this reason, ill post the link to it incase anyone wants to read through it. I think it goes up to about 300+ pages, but from what I can tell the majority of people had great success and little sides.

So i should list the side effects:
-headaches (very uncommon)
-systemic absorbtion (common), due to blood circulation it will be absorbed systemically when applied to the face and cause slight hair growth to the rest of the body. (I havent noticed much body hair change yet)
-minoxidil reaction (i have had this about a month ago, face went a bit red and peeled. Told people i was sunburnt, easy gone in two-three days.
-slight hair growth up to cheekbones and nearing the eyes. This has happened to me and is due to the blood circulation carrying small amounts of minox higher up than where it was applied. Just pluck/wax these no worries. Not strong growth.

I myself have been using minox on the face. I am approaching 3 months of use, and already had fantastic results. Couple weeks ago i grew a beard i could never have done before. I will post my monthly pics taken at three days growth if anyones interested + the full beard shots.

For most people it will usually take about four months to notice a big change, however i noticed a big change around the two month mark and can see im gonna see alot more soon again (lots of little velus hairs developing.)

Just keen to see if there any interest in this as i've found it a god send. Can help people with patchy beards, none existent beards or hair anywhere on the body really if you want it.

Here are the pictures as requested (all are taken at three days growth, aside from the obvious)

i've seen it many time.

why would you use minoxidil... i've hair, but i shave it. hair are for loosers. lol
 
Man, shaving is a pain, and you are trying to grow facial hair?! Haha, grass is always greener though right?

Good luck, interesting experiment.
 
I grew up on a farm and my cousin always joked that if u spread chicken/cow shit on your chest or face it would make hair grow. Like fertilizer. Haha..doesn't work.
 
Well As someone who has to shave an has for the last 20 years i think your a fool for wanting to increase your facial hair. I had my neck Lazered to reduce the razor burn and ingrown hairs. It was the best thing I could have done for it.

All said and done why would you want to look older.
 
Hahah yes, it seems everyone that has a beard hates shaving and doesnt want one, yet everyone without a beard wants one. You cant win. Anyone got a clue as to why i cant upload the rest of the photos? Got a few more good ones that show real progress...

LOL same thing with women...
curly hair -always flat ironing it to straighten
straight hair - always having it curled!
 
As someone who was forced to start shaving in 7th grade :eek: I HATE shaving but enjoying having my facial hair. It's a lose-lose for me
 
I have been experiencing fantastic minoxidil for beard results. I have been using it for 1 month now and my cheeks are less patchy and hairs are much thicker. Anyway, I am expecting full nice beard within 6 month and it is really cheap as well to improve your beard. Only side-effect I get is that my skin gets little itchy and dry, that is why I use hydrating cream.
