Notes -
I have a years supply of Costco brand minoxidil I got got free. How long till you actually saw results ?
I don't really need a more dense beard, but I might as well use it before it goes bad. Thanks for the reminder.
The standard consensus is that it takes 3 months or more of regular, twice daily use to get a respectable beard.
I think the maximum I've used it that consistently is about a month, and then intermittently whenever I can remember to. It is still a noticeable improvement over what it used to be, and I was already old enough that if I was going to grow a respectable beard it would have happened.
My brother has been using it for at least 6 months now, maybe even longer, and he's been religious about it. He keeps his beard trim, but barring a small patch below the chin that just won't go away, it's denser than mine is, and he's both younger and started worse off.
Just to be clear, you have liquid, topical minoxidil right? I mean, the pills will grow hair. You just won't like where.
(Dosage is about 3 drops or 1 ml per cheek, rubbed in. Trim your beard if you want to maximize the amount making it to the skin, though once again I haven't done that because if keeping my beard short is required to make it bigger, that's (temporarily) defeating the point.)
