To fact 3. You can shave like normal but i heard a lot of times that it’s better to let the hair grow out some times. And my experience was that it really helped my hair a lot to let it sometimes grow. I have the felling that the hair became a lot stronger after i let it grow and just trimming it.

Tip for anyone wanting to grow, works wonders for me: vitamin supplements, caffeine shampoo with a beard conditioner afterwards and derma rolling daily. Went from smooth face to fully covered in vellus hairs that are starting to go terminal now and it’s only been a few months. Good luck gents!

I used minoxidil 5% liquid twice a day for 2 months, then switched to foam. I used a bottle of minox liquid 7 months ago, for only a month then had my daughter and what not, so I kinda gave up, but I’m back at it and couldn’t be happier. Consistency is key my man.

@@nathanthompson9368 dang man I started to see progress and gave up. One of the reasons is that I don’t like going to bed with it wet and oily on my face and my wife gets annoyed about it because I tell her not to touch my face and it seems to take a long time to soak in and dry. Has the foam helped in that department?

[@AseeF]

quick tip : DermaStamp > Derma roller and maybe even pen . I was on .25mm derma roller originally, then .75 and now Stamp at 1.5mm 3 times a week. Skin heals MUCHHHH QUICKER even with the longer needle. Because its not rolling and causing tears horizontally, and only doing its work vertically (needle on stamp) . Aquaphor after. dab dab dab . i would say do stamp once a week, see if redness disappears within 24-48 hours. and do it 2 times a week for 2 weeeks, and maybe increase from there. Thank me later. I use minox 10 hours after my stamp. only Once a day because of the 22 hour half life. Disclaimer: I am by no means a medical professional. My opinions are my own and I am no way responsible for what you do to your skin. Don't sue me :)

[@ScarFaceDom_]

my derma roll causes rashes. no matter how much i clean it

[@omegarex22]

So is the dermaroller better to use?

[@FemiEk]

If you’re using a derma roller, use the 0.5mm It’s the best for beard growtj

[@emmanuelalva6597]

Stamp is the best. I have all 3. Roller doesn’t really puncture, pen is hard to gauge if it is puncturing or not. Stamp you can see and feel it.

Very informative and right to the point. Thanks for the tips man. I'm curious since this is the first video I've seen. Did you happen to derma roll at all? And if so, how were you scheduling between derma rolling and applying?

[@LettingManKnow]

Thanks Nick! I was using a dermapen (and still do), much prefer it to a roller. I'd only use it once every 2-4 weeks or so on a 2mm setting. I'd usually let it heal for a day before applying minoxidil, otherwise it stung like a beeatch.

Both me and my brother genetically can grow a beard but he had trouble growing more than little thin hair follicles (but the hair was there) and i had easily grown a full goatee and mustache but had the little follicles as well on my cheeks so we both decided to use minoxidil to speed things up, to keep it short we both grew full beards 3-4 months. Once we had the beards we stopped using it but the hair completely started thinning and it looked like some fell out. We decided to clean shave (except my goatee I didn’t apply any minoxidil on it at all ) and now we’re both rapidly naturally growing full beards again with thick mature hairs so i guess it worked out in the end all we use now is beard oil and the hairs are growing better than when we were on minoxidil. (That’s our experience) *MIND YOU WE APPLIED IT ONCE AFTER WE SHAVED AND BOTH GOT HORRIBLE ACNE OVER NIGHT* that’s why we started using beard oil instead and it seems to be growing better anyways

Thank you jerelle! That is the recommended time but I'd say do what suits your own schedule best and see if it works. Usually, in the morning I'd let it dry and apply moisturiser not long after (purely because I didn't want to be at work with dry ass skin).
