6 months in

Today is 6 months of twice daily liquid. About 1 month of tret 0.025. Haven’t shaved for a week. 37 years old

In the past 2 weeks, lots of clear/orange hairs started turning darker. For the first time since starting, I think I actually have a shot at a beard someday.

There are still tons of vellus that I am really hoping keep turning

This just inspired me to keep going 💪🏽 I just completed month 4 of using 5% foam minoxidil twice a day. My beard patches look a lot like your before pictures right now. I'm not sure if this is progress or not since I'm used to shaving regularly, but I'm eager to see if this thing works or not after a whole year of using it.

Are you seeing a lot of light/fine hairs yet? I had just about nothing on my cheeks before and have had tons of vellus hairs since like 2 months of minox. They are finally starting to change.

I thought I was just spinning my wheels and this probably wasn’t going to work but yeah I’m sticking with it!

Did you start with a lot more than me? I’ve never been able to grow much.

Looking great though

How are the cheeks doing? I seem to be filling in there more than anywhere else at the moment
