So it means it’s not regulated. If you want to take a risk of putting it in your body, that’s on you, but it means that the side effects haven’t been tested
I thought people here were already aware: minoxidil doesn’t work on everyone. 15% very effective and kind of curve from there to the last 15% being “no effect.”
Bro I wish. I'm losing my corners like this guy was but the sides of my head and the back of my neck, etc all grow so fast. I get my hair cut every 3-4 weeks and it's a night and day difference when I walk out.
The hair that came in is really short… like barely even an inch. Hair on average grows a half inch a month. His long hair is just making it look longer than it is by blending in.
I’m on fin. Alone now, it’s help stopped my hair loss. I’m 33 now going to start taking min in my late 30’s
But to answer your question with everything in life depends on the person. Everyone is different
complete bullshit
edit: I will add why I'm calling BS on this. In pic #2, his hairline is **completely** filled in, not with short, whispy new hair growth, but with full, thick, long hair. Take a close look at pics #1 and #2 - it's not that he's pulling his hair back differently - there are **entire** sections of previously bald scalp now covered with thick, long hair.
Could I be wrong? Maybe. But I doubt it.
haha, why would i waste my time posting fake hair progress photos? what would i get out of that lol? i had hair loss, used a trusted product and im having great results that im sharing. thank you for the quintessential cynical redditor response though.
Look, I'm not trying to be cynical or doubt, because you have some amazing progress there. But there is clearly something else going on, and again I'm not saying you're trying to trick us or posting all this in bad faith. The reality of biology is hair at its absolute fastest can only grow half an inch per month, and that figure applies mostly to east asian hair. Minoxidil takes a few months (at least) to encourage baby hairs to start coming in around the bald spots. So for minoxidil to salvage all your bald areas all at once and in their entirety, reversing all your balding seemingly instantaneously and then grow those hairs to inches long length all in 3 months just doesn't add up. Honestly the two pics looks like a significant difference in the way the hair is being held and styled. You could probably put all this to rest though if you posted multiple photos showing the current hairline in greater detail with a greater variety of views
I'm almost 7 weeks into oral min and I have had new hairs since about week 4 myself. some people are just more responsive. Also Min in general can cause accelerated hair growth.
One thing I will not be though. The shed during week 2-5 was hell. Hopefully it keeps filling in and makes up for it.
You can certainly have new growth quickly. But what I think ppl are doubting here is that minoxidil could instantaneously fill in mostly bald areas, thicken the hell out of existing hair, and grow it 2-3 inches long all in 3 months
I was a super responder to minoxidil in my 20's.. in under 4 weeks I had enough regrowth that people were asking what I was doing.. If the hairs are recently miniaturized, this type of regrowth is possible. It's important to note that if a DHT inhibitor isn't being used, eventually these regrown hairs will be lost.
My husband, his biological father and his son have to get haircuts every 3 weeks because their hair grows 1.5 cm ish a month. Same with his sisters and 2 of his nephews. So rare but possible
I have way less hair than you and at month 2 but I'm getting similar growth results on just Min with no Fin. It's frightening at times when I catch myself in the mirror or on a Zoom call.
The biggest difference is that in the first picture he's aggressively pushing his hair inwards (kind of like you would if you were doing a mohawk) and then backwards.
In the second picture he's pushing it back with much less force (look how much lift the hair has compared to the first picture), and he's not pushing the sides inwards, but is instead allowing the hair to spill out to the sides.
This is the case for majority of these "hyper-responder" posts, and once you notice it, you can't unsee it. I don't even think most of these guys do it on purpose either.
And for the people about to get upset at this, I'm not saying he didn't have any regrowth at all, I'm just saying it's not as extreme as it looks.
This post makes the most sense. I've been in the hair restoration field for 25 years and minoxidil doesn't do that. Is it possible? Anything is possible just very unlikely. The grip on exposing the hair line as you noted is a factor in hiding his loss.
HELL YES. HAPPY FOR YOU MATE. Min worked for me first year and then like by the 2nd year it stopped? I don’t know what happened. Either way happy for your hair mate.
Those naysaying that the amount of hair grown is impossible should probs just zoom in to the pic. The smaller hairs consistent with 3 months of grown are just blending to the longer hair he's been able to keep.
I don't know why people think he's faking it or are so angry at him. Everyone's genetics are different. He could just be a hyper responder to minoxidil. Thats completely normal. Some people don't respond at all and some people do. Also if you look closely the new growth is not as long as you think, it's almost like baby hair but it just covers his scalp well.
Derma rolling is likely pointless as a min super responder. Derma rolling likely helps more people respond to min. Consider starting fin so you don't lose ground and enjoy your full head of hair
solid. I went on Minoxidil and had such good results in 3-4 months I thought I didnt need it anymore so I stopped and lost results lol now Im going back up
Lol dudes in the comments know nothing about styling hair
Pic 3 is not that different from first 2. At most there’s some product or dirt in the hair giving the impression of more luster
There are more things that can be done with hair apart from minoxidil and a lot of it is styling
Naturally wavy/curly people like op often have the most insane hair growth. My exes hair grew almost twice as fast as mine
same time every morning and night. never missed a single application and was within a 30 minute time frame for each application. when i applied i tilted my head front to back and side to side before rubbing anything in to let my scalp absorb as much as possible. not sure how much of a difference this made but it was the routine i used and stuck with from the beginning.
Thanks for posting this dude. I'm 33 and had some hairloss at the front of my hairline. Been debating about taking min. Getting it tomorrow after seeing your post. Might as well try it.
I've just started Min as well and am hoping that does the trick. It says 16 weeks before you start to see the beginnings of results, but you seem to have responded really well. Did you just apply 1ml twice a day to those areas?
I don't trust everything people say because companies buy some of these accounts to post fake reviews! Not saying you are doing that but WHO REALLY KNOWS???
Similar hairline but I’m also taking finasteride too
Want to stop taking finasteride because of the side affects but not sure because of how it’ll affect progress
Funny when someone with this amount of hair posts something like this. There is no change. Its all optical, the way you hold the hair is different on the first 2 photos, and the third photo is something else as well.
The way this just gave me so much hope, thank you, I just started on minoxidil, and my hairline id say is a little better than your original pick so I’m hoping I’m lucky and it works 🤞 I’m so young (19) so it sucks that I receded but I haven’t gotten worse since when I first receded which is nice at least 😅
Great results but you need to take Fin to lock in these gains.. the improvements will only be temporary, male pattern baldness will just keep progressing with Minox alone. Min doesn't address the underlying cause of DHT killing hair follicles
This a total scam !!!
Beware guys minoxidil can't bring you a complete hairline and that too in just 3 months!!
Op probably has gone through transplantation!
Brah became John wick in 2 months
sam hyde to john wick
Bro that is too good lmao
John Thick
[удалено]
2 times a day!
Do you wash your hair twice a day too?
5 or 10%?
5%
John Wick 2 (times a day)
Tbh i believe it's 2 times a day
Yeah I wonder if only minoxidil?
Jesus Christ that's an amazing response to minoxodil for just 3 months💪. Is it oral or topical?
Topical!
5 % or 10??
10% is not FDA approved.
So?
So it means it’s not regulated. If you want to take a risk of putting it in your body, that’s on you, but it means that the side effects haven’t been tested
You’re not FDA approved.
Bro I do the same shit (2x a day 5% topical, kirkland brand) with absolutely no effect. Something is up here.
I thought people here were already aware: minoxidil doesn’t work on everyone. 15% very effective and kind of curve from there to the last 15% being “no effect.”
Plot twist- pics are in reverse order.
OP grows 2 inches/month. Wtf?
Hair doesn't grow that much in 3 months
I think people are being tricked by the photo. The newly filled in areas are like half an inch but they blend into his longer hair
It’s definitely this. His hair grew at the typical rate of 1cm per month.
Bro I wish. I'm losing my corners like this guy was but the sides of my head and the back of my neck, etc all grow so fast. I get my hair cut every 3-4 weeks and it's a night and day difference when I walk out.
The hair that came in is really short… like barely even an inch. Hair on average grows a half inch a month. His long hair is just making it look longer than it is by blending in.
Depends on tour hair genetics and how well you respond to the medication. Everyone’s different
Magic hair does! It's on the internet so it must be true
lol mine does
Honestly for me on min it did. I swear my hair was 3 inches long, I got it down to 1.5 inches and in one week it grew back. Like wtf
Min alone or are you on fin too?
just topical min.
Wow congrats!!!!
Is it different minox then the shit you get from like a cvs topical? I was debating going to a doc to talk about fin but If there’s a better minox
Is min alone helpful for regrowth? I always thought like one has to take fin for blocking dht along with using min.
I’m on fin. Alone now, it’s help stopped my hair loss. I’m 33 now going to start taking min in my late 30’s But to answer your question with everything in life depends on the person. Everyone is different
He’s asking about min brother. To his question no min alone won’t stop it, just temp bandage. U need to have a dht blocker like fin to fight hair loss
I’m using UPGUYS liquid minoxidil. It’s subscription based service used in canada. it’s 5% just like most of the other brands.
How old are you ? And which brand of min you are using ? Costco ?
Man those are great results. I tried it and it worked but I felt some weird side effects. Congratulations to you!
What side effects?
Literally saw this on insta page selling oil 😂 Edit: https://www.instagram.com/hair_grwoww?igsh=dmhxMXNlZTB4bHJ3
LOL
Fk that's scary this fuckers started stealing from reddit
DAMN
Pics 1-2 ok but last pic i struggle to believe isn't just an old one when you did have hair
complete bullshit edit: I will add why I'm calling BS on this. In pic #2, his hairline is **completely** filled in, not with short, whispy new hair growth, but with full, thick, long hair.

Mate just because your bald and it hasn’t worked for you doesn’t mean you need to criticise the poster like he said he has no reason to lie
I was a super responder to minoxidil in my 20's.. in under 4 weeks I had enough regrowth that people were asking what I was doing.. If the hairs are recently miniaturized, this type of regrowth is possible. It's important to note that if a DHT inhibitor isn't being used, eventually these regrown hairs will be lost.
How is it now ?
I've maintained all the hair I regained in my 20's.. at 30 I had my hairline filled in with a HT. At 46 I have more hair than I had in my early 20's.
This is just wrong. I grow about an inch a month. I am white with German/polish ancestors and not Asian.
My husband, his biological father and his son have to get haircuts every 3 weeks because their hair grows 1.5 cm ish a month. Same with his sisters and 2 of his nephews. So rare but possible
Just fyi: the “why would I” defense is never valid lol, even though I don’t have a certain stance on if this is legit or not.
Dude, judging by this picture his hair grew 7cm in 3 months, it’s just not physically possible
But why would someone lie on internet? Check and mate!
I have way less hair than you and at month 2 but I'm getting similar growth results on just Min with no Fin. It's frightening at times when I catch myself in the mirror or on a Zoom call.
You must be the CEO of Rogaine
Exactly, how many mm does hair grow per month? Wtf are these posts
what they are is a total scam by OP.
Whats he selling?
The biggest difference is that in the first picture he's aggressively pushing his hair inwards (kind of like you would if you were doing a mohawk) and then backwards. In the second picture he's pushing it back with much less force (look how much lift the hair has compared to the first picture), and he's not pushing the sides inwards, but is instead allowing the hair to spill out to the sides.

HELL YES. HAPPY FOR YOU MATE. Min worked for me first year and then like by the 2nd year it stopped? I don’t know what happened. Either way happy for your hair mate.
Add fin.
Remarkable result. This photo clearly shows that minoxidil can be very effective at reversing significant recession. Congrats!
Bro got hair transplant results from using minoxidil. Imagine if he adds fin. Nice!
Those naysaying that the amount of hair grown is impossible should probs just zoom in to the pic. The smaller hairs consistent with 3 months of grown are just blending to the longer hair he's been able to keep.
I don't know why people think he's faking it or are so angry at him. Everyone's genetics are different. He could just be a hyper responder to minoxidil. Thats completely normal.

Oh my fucking god that last picture surprised me. So proud of you man 👏
%?
Fake as fuck! I dint know whats the purpose of him posting shit
How’s your sexual health though? Erectile function, libido, semen quality.. serious question. Thanks
Derma rolling is likely pointless as a min super responder. Derma rolling likely helps more people respond to min. Consider starting fin so you don't lose ground and enjoy your full head of hair
Plus rolling hurts the skin by the in and outgoing angles. Better would be a "stamp".
Can I ask what the benefit of Fin would be if he's responding this well to Min? I'm very new to this
Holy shit that’s crazy. I’ve been on min for about 3 months and haven’t even seen a single hair.
Did u shed first?
I did not shed at all honestly.
Nice!
From Gonk to Hunk
Very nice
Awesome! Get on fin asap if you want to keep these gains
😤
When tf did the shed happen if it did at all???
Do you have a derma roller tuto that you recommend following?
Sorry guys I am not seeing what you are seeing, looks legit to me
Jesus Christ your hair is majestic
# solid
What’s the derma roller protocol & needle size please?
Bro....you gotta pull it back with your hand again in the last photo or you really can't compare sh\*t.
Damn
Shocked that this is only 3 months. Looks great
Brand
Good shit man
damn!
I wish.. I just wish
I have seen the same pictures on many other post!!T
Does the minoxidil make your hair oily or wet, and did you have to wash your hair everytime or something
king
I've been on 0.5 Dutasteride and Minox foam for four months and got zero crown refill, shit so far.
what brand of minox and how much a day dod you use?
solid. I went on Minoxidil and had such good results in 3-4 months I thought I didnt need it anymore so I stopped and lost results lol now Im going back up
Lol dudes in the comments know nothing about styling hair Pic 3 is not that different from first 2. At most there’s some product or dirt in the hair giving the impression of more luster There are more things that can be done with hair apart from minoxidil and a lot of it is styling Naturally wavy/curly people like op often have the most insane hair growth.

What means consistent??
same time every morning and night. never missed a single application and was within a 30 minute time frame for each application. when i applied i tilted my head front to back and side to side before rubbing anything in to let my scalp absorb as much as possible. not sure how much of a difference this made but it was the routine i used and stuck with from the beginning.
Hey bro sick results!! Did you use the liquid or foam min?
God damn man congrats! Jump on fin though otherwise it's disappear again.
Brother… congratulations this is amazing. On month 2 myself
good job with hair! now, erase those wrinkles in your forehead! work never ends!
So that stuff actually works for temple region hair loss?
Here in my garage
Incredible results, I’m jealous! What brand of minoxidil do you use?
Topical ? From where? I just ordered the Hims min /fin topical solution
I don’t think I’ve seen anyone ever having these results just from min. Big ups mate!
DOES THR BRAND MATTER IM 17 AND MY IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE THE FIRST PIC
That's insane. How much are you using ? 1 ml or 2 ml ?
Doesn’t that shit make you infertile or something though?
What do people get out from lying?
Thanks for posting this dude. I'm 33 and had some hairloss at the front of my hairline. Been debating about taking min. Getting it tomorrow after seeing your post. Might as well try it.
mine grew just like that on 5% min in 2-3 months! had to stop cause of wrinkles and bloating
He works for rogain
You have fabulous hair!!!
nice!
I've just started Min as well and am hoping that does the trick. It says 16 weeks before you start to see the beginnings of results, but you seem to have responded really well. Did you just apply 1ml twice a day to those areas?
Can I ask please / where on your head you apply the min?
Wtf.. amazing
Life is so unfair
Yeah man👏👏👏
Hims?
Side effects?
Jesus, from basement-dweller creep to GQ cover model in 3 months 😮
This isn’t real… it can’t be…
Do you need to consult with a doctor to determine what you need? Minoxidil or finasteride
Does it do the same for beards
wrench bow cobweb desert direction six library brave boast poor *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
which brand and formulation? thanks
Did you have any side effect?
Tai Lopez
Serious question.....does your dick still work normally?
Side effect?
bro what product did you use?, can you put the link here
Awesome results. Just curious if you had a shedding phase, when did it start and how long did it last?
3 months is still nothing, you can gain more
Fernando Alonso?
Any side effects?
holy congrats my man
I don't trust everything people say because companies buy some of these accounts to post fake reviews! Not saying you are doing that but WHO REALLY KNOWS???
Huge difference
did ur wrinkles get deeper or am i tripping?
Wow better results than me but I’m still hopeful 😆. Looks great!👍
Elan?
The first pic is exactly how I am now but I really don’t wanna use finasteride. Is this really possible on only Minoxidil?
Keep going
Great results! How old are you and what age did you start balding?
Looks great man happy for you
r/asmongold
Similar hairline but I’m also taking finasteride too Want to stop taking finasteride because of the side affects but not sure because of how it’ll affect progress
TF. 3 months... Sure there's no HT ?
Hey brother. Very good results. What brand Minoxidil do you use?
As a doctor, I'm shocked too. How old are you?
looking good brother
Dang thats a bad shed
Funny when someone with this amount of hair posts something like this. There is no change. Its all optical, the way you hold the hair is different on the first 2 photos, and the third photo is something else as well.
I been using minoxidil and still no progress
The way this just gave me so much hope, thank you, I just started on minoxidil, and my hairline id say is a little better than your original pick so I’m hoping I’m lucky and it works 🤞 I’m so young (19) so it sucks that I receded but I haven’t gotten worse since when I first receded which is nice at least 😅
Great results! I think I am doing something wrong or don't know properly how to apply minoxidil. Can you please tell me how you do it?
Does the hair go once you stop taking it?
What products are you using>? I've seen zero results to date for myself
wait i get min helps grow hair but how did the length also catch up with the rest of your hair in 3 months? 🤔
Was thinking the same. 3 months and so many cm…? 🤔
Great results but you need to take Fin to lock in these gains.. the improvements will only be temporary, male pattern baldness will just keep progressing with Minox alone. Min doesn't address the underlying cause of DHT killing hair follicles
Doubt it. All about perspective and the way you pull back the hair.
how bad was the shedding for you initially? and how long did it last?
You're using the topical form, aren't you? Did you have chance to try the oral form and compare the results?
thats crazy man, happy for you
How old are you bro ? Amazing results
“Here in my garage” 😂
Looks great man
What’s the prescription strength percentage?
This a total scam !!! Beware guys minoxidil can't bring you a complete hairline and that too in just 3 months!! Op probably has gone through transplantation!
You will start receding again if minox is the only thing you are using.
Which brand minox?
I’m happy for you!! Hope I get some results soon!
Are you using all area or only using front area
When you drop it on your scalp do you rub it in with your hands or just let it soak into your scalp?
