In just a few months, I'll have been on minox for 2 years. In my first few months, I actually did develop a pretty solid amount of new vellus hairs, to the point that if they were terminal, I could have a pretty solid beard going. But here we are 1.5 years later, and they never went terminal. It's confusing to me because the fact that minox gave me a thick face of vellus hairs tells me I'm not resistant to it, and yet they still haven't taken the next step.
So my question is basically: since I'm clearly receptive to minox and I got the vellus hairs, does that mean that if I keep at it, eventually I'll probably get the terminal hairs? Or is it possible to just get a forest of vellus that never becomes anything? I'm just getting a little tired of this after so much time, but I'd keep going if it meant I'd get there eventually. Let me know what you all think.
Admittedly, my routine isn't aggressive. I know myself, and I knew that the more complicated I made it, the more likely I'd give up, so I started off with just foam twice a day, and after a few months, I dropped it down to just once a day.
Hey all,
I've been using Minox for a little while now and I can see absolutely tons of vellus hairs around my goatee area that weren't there before. Is there any way I can improve the likelihood of them becoming terminal and not falling out (besides shedding)?
They're still very small and require a light to see them, but I'm amazed at how many there are. If they matured it would make a gigantic difference to my facial hair.
So far I drink tons of water, take multivitamins, biotin, derma roll twice a week with 0.75mm, liquid Minox in the morning and foam in the evening/leave overnight. I'm also losing weight, lost 9 pounds so far. Are there any other methods you guys can think of?
Also, how long does it take before vellus hair starts darkening please?
Thanks very much!
I developed quite a lot of very fine hair on my face (mostly forehead, cheeks and jaw) due to Minoxidil. I don’t know whether to shave it or trim it or just let it grow, it definitely bothers me a lot but I’m scared that it will look even worse when I cut it and it grows back. How do you deal with that?
If I take oral finasteride (0.25 or 0.5 daily to begin with) along with weekly 1mm microneedling, would this be effective in thickening and regrowing vellus hairs? Possibly even to terminal in a few years?
The million dollar question right..
I've been on the juice for about 9 months now, and I've got tonnes of vellus but no idea when these are finally going to become terminal. I've heard it's normally between 6 months and 2 years.
How long before it happened to you?

Hi everyone,
I have been on finasteride for nearly 6 months now and haven’t noticed much improvement. However, I notice that there are many vellus hairs on my temple’s and hairline. Should I continue to wait and see if they turn terminal or is it time to use minox too as my temples are currently not looking good?
So this month after being bald for years I all of a sudden have vellus hair. And two real hairs! From what I understand I could Be in a growth cycle. I’m not holding hope for regrowth. I’ve been off treatment for years and diagnosed for 18 years. But should I go check in with my dermatologist about this change? Could it be a Hormonal change issue?
For the past couple weeks I’ve been shedding vellus and very very thin, short hairs everywhere. Some are so mall they’re barely even visible. I find dozens on my pillow, sheets, when I brush, on my clothes, etc. What could this mean? Is my AGA just getting worse I’m freaking out

I have a lot of vellus hairs on my temples/hairline from only using fin for 6 months. Do they ever go terminal or just remain as is? I was wondering if minoxidil would help the likelihood they become terminal.
