What do you think about minoxidil? Does it work? Any side effects

Bearded fag here. Why the fuck do you faggots want a beard? You know how much of a pain in the fycking ass it is to shave? Be thankful for your peach fuzz faces.

Not OP but i can grow a chinstrap and neckbeard but nothing else. I've got all the downsides of facial hair and none of the good. I want to try it to fill in my cheeks and moustache.

Been using it for about 6 months and it resulted in noticeable hair gains on my crown and the top of my head, which was starting to thin. I also use a hair regrowth shampoo. It's not terribly expensive and seemed to help me out in the thinnest spots, or at the very least stop further hair loss.

How do you know hes not using it for his head instead?

Because 9/10 times its beardlets asking about this shit.

Which shampoo do you use? I've read Nioxin is a scam but I used to like it. I use Nizoral now and I think it definitely helps by stopping DHT irritation.

OP here. I'm currently using Alpecin, and it has been holding up.

>Which shampoo do you use?

Brand is "Nourish Beauté Hair Growth Support Shampoo", yellow label bottle that I got from Amazon. I use it every few days. I scrub it in and let it sit while I wash the rest of myself, then rinse it out. I can't for certain whether it or the Minoxidil has had the most effect, or if it's one or the other, but I do know that I have seen noticeable improvement which I didn't even think was possible.

it does what it's supposed to

liquid is rly itchy and annoying tho, go for the foam

>>40949084
this

foam is so much better and worth the extra, im stuck with 9 months of liquid still and I hate it.

At least I gave up on regaining head hair and just use it on beard now.

My question in terms of side effects was in terms of sexuality (impotence, fertility) and if it can have the opposite effect (falling hair)

>>40949161
I've read it can cause shedding when you first start. I don't think there's any other sides except possibly allergies

>>40947363
It makes your scalp dry and itchy as FUCK. I can't begin to imagine putting it on your face. It would seriously fuck your shit up bad.

I'm still using it but not daily and I use anti itch lotion and coconut oil to prevent eczema on my scalp.

why don't you do your research? minoxidil is a vasodilator, it has zero hormonal effect
