+CertifiedHustler68 no worries buddy! Thanks for watching!

[@CertifiedHustler68]

love your channel bro. just got my boron in the mail yesterday, along with my whatever superba. I'm doing Cemmos's vitamin regiment as of right now. I am aware that the superba stuff is mostly for rock hard boners and i wanna experiment with that. But i figure if i combine your knowledge with Cemmos's as well as Henreviews's, i am assured a beastly beard. You brave men are heading the charge into the unknown. I feel as though the act of using minox for beard growth will become mainstream in the future, but never forget that you were one of the pioneers. i certainly wont.

[@thebeardsolution]

+CertifiedHustler68 thanks brother i really appreciate that. Yeah man they both have awesome channels. Cemmos has a real well grounded knowledge in beards. His website beardprofile.com has some really great articles too! Appreciate the support man its nice to know we can help make a difference for people who are in the same position to us and i agree i think it will become more mainstream as tome goes on though i doubt that minox companies will pay the required money to test and get it fda approved as there is little financial benefit so may still be a little underground. Hope the supplements go well buddy beard on and good luck

[@buzzsburner.8286]

if a vellus hair needs to shed for a terminal one to grow in its place, would plucking vellus hairs speed up that process?

[@thebeardsolution]

No. Probably not. And if anything, you can damage and scar the follicle from over plucking hairs (though probably needs to be done a lot).

[@nohansamgd8915]

I have a lot of little transparent hair that look like peach fuss but what I really want to know if peach fuss are small vellus hair

[@Cr4zy1997]

i am 3 months into my journey but my cheek hair on the bottom are really thick and grow long and the cheek hairs on the top are thin and doesnt really grow long but i had them before i started with Minoxidil so are my cheek hairs at the top vellus hairs? cuz i have them since 2 years so im not really sure

[@thevigilant266]

What if i grow vellus hairs and then shave them, would they turn terminal after a lot of shaves?

[@thebeardsolution]

No. Of course not. Shaving cuts a hair to the skins surface. Thats it. Its not some magical process you are essentially cutting a dead bit of keratin (your hair is intrinsically dead) to a random length. Thats it.

[@christophernolan4539]

How can I manage my skincare and minoxidil in a day shall i apply my skincare serums 7hours after minoxidil and u said well in this vedio after getting terminal hairs shall I reduse usage to 2times a week

Thanks for your informations! :-) I am using Minox for about a week now and already see a crazy increase in vellus hair (probably existing ones getting longer). Seems like hairs on other parts of my body are also increasing. Also ordered a Dermaroller. I hope this works for me. I have lots of body hair, only my face is lacking.

[@w.werion4801]

I am now (almost) 9 weeks in and the cycles/order in which things happen is so confusing. At the end of week 6 I noticed a massive amount of new vallus hairs and some of them even turned transitional... Then I didnt see any real progress for weeks until I noticed today (comparing to old pictures) that my overall amount of hairs increased (even on spots where I didnt want any like under my eyes and next to my eyebrows 😅) and some (very few) hairs that were already terminal became much darker than the rest (i am blonde). Now I am in a phase with a lot of vallus and medium amount of transitional hair (even got comments on it from people that didnt see me for 5+ weeks). So far I cant complain tbh.

[@flavioreyes7100]

What do you call the hairs aren’t terminal but still grow to a certain length, are fine, light and not pigmented and have not fallen out after a year of having stopped minox, I’ve only used 1 1/2 bottles of minox.

[@debmalyadutta4756]

If left untouched for 2 months,most of my facial hair grows upto 2-2.5 cm long.But then,they are soft and not as pigmented.So are they Vellus hair or Terminal hair?🤔

[@loganlewis2523]

At 1:10 is that James Hatfield

[@VivekSharma-zn2xz]

finally I understand the difference thanks to you bro

[@pyrozeus1021]

1. does the shedding phase only affect parts of your face that have fully developed vellus hairs, or does it just shed all parts like on your cheeks and neck? 2. does the shedding phase take affect once all of the vellus hairs on your face have fully developed? 3. does the shedding phase take affect only for fully developed hairs, which hairs that arent developed yet will fall out when its ready?

[@thebeardsolution]

The questions were hard to understand so I will give you an overview if the video was unclear. Shedding can occur to vellus and terminal hairs. Terminal hairs on the beard will always be replaced with terminal hair. Vellus hair can be replaced with terminal hair or another vellus hair. Each follicle is independent and so hairs will shed at different times. In some instances this can synchronise but more often than not its a slow gradual process.

[@playstore7174]

Bro I use minoxidil, and i can see vellus hairs... So my question is how can I turn my vellus into terminal

[@thebeardsolution]

As per the video (i think it's been a long time since I watched it). Vellus don't turn into terminal hairs. You have to be patient and wait for the vellus to grow, shed and be replaced with a terminal hair. This could take more than one hair cycle for that particular follicle. Took me about 2 years some people its quicker some longer

[@playstore7174]

Does vellus hair turn to transitional hair bro🤔❤

[@thebeardsolution]

@@playstore7174 vellus sheds (falls out) and is replaced by terminal hairs

[@playstore7174]

@@thebeardsolution bro one more question pls❤, bro before my vellus hair shed on its own, i trimmed it.. Then it grew to terminal hair... So bro my point is, if we wait for vellus to shed on its own, It will take time but if u trim it after growing for a long time, it grows into terminal?

[@thebeardsolution]

@playstore7174 no trimming has no effect. You are just cutting a hair to a random length. Either the hair shed after you trimmed it or its not terminal. Some hairs can look somewhere in between (we call them transitional). You won't necessarily notice when hairs shed as each hair does it independently

[@thebeardsolution]

Facial hair will generally improve over time. To what degree is dependent on your genetics. If you don't want to wait and see then you could consider minoxidil though you are still quite young.it already sounds like you are starting to develop more facial hair so its up to you

[@thebeardsolution]

Hairs can shed at any point shaving or trimming them makes no difference. Note there is a difference between a terminal hair and a hair that has reached its terminal length. One is a type of hair the other is the maximal length a given hair can grow

[@TimBanch]

Thanks for your reply, Adam. I've been on minoxidil for 7 months and I noticed most gains during month 2-3. After that everything seems to have slowed down and I'm not sure if i'm even gaining anymore. If i look closely I see small vellus everywhere but they've stayed that way for the past few months. Maybe I just have to wait for them to shed.

GOOD MORNING ADAM, THERE IS RECENT TALK THAT TAKING OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS ( EPA / eicosapentaenoic acid and DHA / docosahexaenoic acid ) may impede a persons beard growth , is it possible because of the EPA component or DHA component ; possibly both perhaps ?

+Prometheus One no idea. I tend to steer away from talks about vitamins and the like as i see the extra consumption unnecessary with exception to b12 and d3.

2 question using minoxidil for beard: Does using minoxidil would make you bald, applying it only in the beard section? Does minoxidil works as anabolic too?(I lift heavy weights/calisthenics since 4 years then switch calisthenics for boxing since 8 months ago , and i`ve noticed a lot of gains this past 4 months using minoxidil, dont know if this because of it, but I feel and look stronger, Im faster as well and now I have almost fully beard(my pic profile is when I was a lot skinnier and have no beard).

On one video you claimed that it will take at least 6 months to develop vellus into terminal hairs. Is that really so? I have seen people who have developed terminals after 3 months for example.

[@thebeardsolution]

Ive yet to see any conclusive evidence of people with full terminal gains after 3 months... even if it has pigmentation. Either way I also caveat in most videos I talk about this that there are extremes and exceptional cases. Most people its gonna take a year plus. I have seen very few achieve the six month mark. Nearly everyone I see use for less than 3 months has lost significant gains. They may have got to odd few terminal hairs but not yet seen a full terminal beard personally. Aside from that teaching mens fashion but not sure if he continued to use it at all after.

[@onlythehumble514]

Hey Mr Solution lol.. quick question. You made mention that most men with beards go bald because of their beard growth (to put it in quick simple terms)... soo if by using minoxidil to promote beard growth.. could it counter our scalp growth? Or that sensitivity you spoke of would only be by genetics?

[@thebeardsolution]

The genetics gor the most part influence your sensitivity to DHT. Munoxidil is designed for scalp use it can't cause you to go bald. People often mistake this since you can experience temporary shedding. The vellus hairs minoxidil will grow are not androgenic anyway. Its more the increase of circulation to that particular area that doesn't normally receive that amount of blood / androgens and the face that minoxidil can cause new blood vessel development that will aid in the maturation process. If you dont have the genes to go bald you won't essentially as far as the current scientific understanding of male patter baldness goes. In the simplest terms. No it wont make you bald

[@isaiahmason4659]

Where can I find minoxidil

[@thebeardsolution]

[@_relly23]

Hey. My facial hair comes out white/blonde when it first grows in. Over the years it has went Ginger the same as my hair colour. I'm about to start taking minoxidil, when it turns ginger all over will that be a sign that they are no longer transitional hairs and to come off minoxidil ?

[@nomo4u886]

Quick question man, so how you mentioned earlier in the video about bald men generally having bigger thicker beards, will using minoxidil to increase facial hair growth cause the hair on our scalp to fall out because of DHT linking hair loss on the scalp? I'm 21 years of age and I ain't trying go bald early lol.

[@thebeardsolution]

+Nomo 4u no minoxidil cannot make you go bald early. Its genetic and linked to normal levels of dht. It cant make you go bald... its designed to grow hair on the head in the first place.

Lol , my pre existing mustache is like extremely thick hard and black hairs , I don’t know if my vellus could ever get to that stage and I probably wouldn’t want a whole face full of that thick like a bathroom brush hair ?

[@masanchoquelargo]

One question. (BTW im a man) I originally had moustache and goatee. Nothing in the sides. Ive been using minox for a long while and they have grown loads of hair on the sides. The turned from vellum to transitional but the dont become Terminal as my moustache or goatee. I want to stop now with minox. Will the transitional hairs fall? Ive been a long while aplying once per day minox and although they have turned transitional, never turned terminal. Thank you!

[@thebeardsolution]

+maria perez its likely that if they are transitional (which is still vellus hair) that they will fall after stopping minoxidil

[@masanchoquelargo]

The Beard Solution Then how is it that there are loads of men with strong hair in the middle and light hair in the sides?

[@thebeardsolution]

+maria perez hair can be different colours. As explained in the video just because a hair has pigment doesnt make it terminal. Terminal hairs can aslo be loads of different colours

[@masanchoquelargo]

The Beard Solution I mean that there are loads of people than can grow naturally a very hard hair in the middle and a lightly and more separately hair in their cheeks, and still be terminal. Hopefully that will be my situation

+Eric Cochrane well those studies were on animal skin fibroblasts and human skills in test tubes. And whilst it does indeed inidicate that minox causes collagen inhibition its also not proven in a live human subject. So really who knows. Thats why we say to dermaroller. In terms of wrinkles and visible skin again that people report i would take it with a pinch of salt. Those users are typically older anyway. Not only that you would probably have to use it for a significantly long time to cause that

[@ericcochrane583]

The Beard Solution alright, thank you for clearing this up

[@sylwia12022]

hey does minoxidil stop natural hair grow? say if i use it at 21 and my beard isn't fully mature till 30s, will using minox at 21 stop the natural hair from growing?

[@thebeardsolution]

+kristopher no it wont man

[@sylwia12022]

[@krollic]

oh my god, thank so you so much for this video. I'm 22 so my beard is about halfway through atm and I was concerned about some hairs i have that had the density/size of terminal hairs but the colour/clearness of vellus hairs. I thought I was getting premature greying in my terminal hairs but now I can rest knowing they're just "transitional" hairs. researching them a bit has told me that plucking them helps promote bloodflow to the folicle and achieves a full terminal hair faster. what do you think of this? should I pluck at all? thanks a lot

[@thebeardsolution]

+krollic hey man i wouldn't pluck personally it can damage the follicle over time

[@krollic]

incredibly fast response. awesome channel. thanks

[@lucamartini7442]

Would you suggest minox for teens?

[@thebeardsolution]

If you are 18 you are an adult in my view and can do whatever you want as long as you have researched it. But imho no I dont think people should really consider minoxidil as anything other than a penultimate resort (last resort being fue/fut transplant). I think Mid to late 20s is a "sensible" time to consider it. Thats just my own personal opinion. I know plenty of guys who got great results in their teens, its really up to the person

[@lucamartini7442]

@@thebeardsolution Thank you so much for responding so fast! :) I hope that my beard will improve over the next few years. Im 17 and have no terminal hair yet only vellus and transition hair. :(

[@nabilrahman8517]

so can vellus hair turn to terminal naturally?

[@thebeardsolution]

+Nabil Rahman vellus dont turn into terminal hairs whether it be natural or with minoxidil. They are biologically distinct hairs. Vellus have to shed and be replaced with terminal hairs. Now naturally speaking this also happens but over a much longer period and you probably dont even realise its happened you just spot a new hair. Vellus hairs dont usually grow past 1 or 2 mm so you will shed these translucent miniscule hair without even realising leading to a terminal to replace it Hope that answers your question

[@thebeardsolution]

+Nabil Rahman do not forget though that if you are a minox user you are forcing vellus to grow much longer than they usually would. If you stop before they are terminal they will likely fall out

[@ianskar]

Great video man! I’m still a little confused on something. Using minoxidil will make Vellus hairs become terminal, correct? And once terminal they do not fall off?

[@thebeardsolution]

+ianskar the vellus hairs have to shed and be replaced with terminal hairs they themselves dont become terminal but yeah minox can support this process. Once terminal its permanent

[@ianskar]

The Beard Solution cool thanks man. One more question, would shaving affect the process? Or does the Vellus hairs have to grow out a certain length before shedding and having a chance to grow terminal?

[@thebeardsolution]

+ianskar its not about length or shaving. There is no set time either, when it happens it happens

Got it, thanks brotha!

[@SUCKER12222]

Hello man, good videos. I've used minoxidil and gained a lot of hairs. I stopped with that 7 months ago and some of them have falled but like 85% is still on my face. Does that means that those are terminal hairs because some are thicker (on my chin for example) and some not. I'm dark blonde so they are not dark but they are thicker than my body hair (much thicker), and I still develop my beard without minoxidil, but I'm planning to start again. What do you suggest foam or liquid ?

[@thebeardsolution]

+SUCKER12222 hard to say man. You will know best by comparing them to your original facial hair

[@naikvlogs1100]

how long did your journey last??

[@thebeardsolution]

Deepak either actually comment something or stop otherwise I am going to block you. Notificatoons blowing up my phone constantly

[@tanerhortkhalil1440]

does exercising help turning vellus to terminal hairs because of the increase of you testosterone levels ?

[@thebeardsolution]

+Khalil Tanerhort it could help but it depends on the excercises things like long distance running can in some cases lower testosterone. But it could help over time in theory with the vellus eventually shedding and being replaced with terminal hairs

[@tanerhortkhalil1440]

thank you sir 🙂

[@TetraSamurai]

khalil Tanerhort facial hair has nothing to do with testosterone, but rather it’s metabolite dihydrotestosterone. How sensitive you are to this and how much 5-alpha-reductase you have to convert testosterone to DHT is entirely dependent on genetics. I’ve seen people inject bodybuilder levels of testosterone and still not be able to grow a beard.

I have vellus hair since like 4/5 years (I'm 17) and I'm really wondering when it will shed...I shave like every 2 weeks because it grows extremely slowly, and btw it's poor in density

[@thebeardsolution]

Vellus hairs shed regualrly but sometimes only replaced with another vellus hair. Shaving wont make any difference. They may be replaced with terminal naturally as you get older... or like me you can use Minoxidil to improve your coverage / density and in time terminap hair count

I'm still in pain. Do you think it will be better if I do sport like running, (I don't do any sport) if I eat well (I only eat bad things like pizza) , if I sleep well? (I only sleep like 4/5h a night) I would appreciate an answer please I want a beard so much :/ I don't do any of these so maybe it will be better

[@Gym-bars-cars]

is it best to trim during the process of minoxidil???? im asking because im thinking that contact with the follicle is important.

[@thebeardsolution]

+maanyoutalkalot the follicle is deep under the skin. Trimming or even shaving wont make a difference to the follicle if thats what you mean. All trimming with do it make application easier and absorption minimally

[@Gym-bars-cars]

so what is the best thing to do??? do not trim or shave???? or it really doesn't matter as long as application continues???

[@Gym-bars-cars]

The Beard Solution never mind found your other that explains this

[@harryedwards6463]

Hello Adam, do you advice that I shave my vellus hair from time to time to help shed it quickly and help terminal hair show up quicker???

[@thebeardsolution]

It wont speed up the process. A shed wont automatically produce a terminal hair. It can take a few cycles but it takes time and plucking will only cause damage to the follicle. Shaving wont do anything other than cut the hair length to the skin surface. Unfortunately its a waiting game bro

I feel like I have something between vellus and terminal... But on the cheeks it's clearly vellus, it's patchy and disgusting lol

[@atulchamat5549]

Hey, Can I use beard oil without washing my face after applying Minoxidil?

[@thebeardsolution]

+Atul chamat you can but you should still wait 4 hours

[@atulchamat5549]

What if my skin gets too much dry after 30 min of applying Minoxidil? Thanks for the response.

[@thebeardsolution]

+Atul chamat either tough it out or buy foam and you wont have to worry about dryness. If you apply oil over the top you might disrupt the minox absorption
