smallaxe,
capisicum (the active in chilli peppers) is reported to put hairs into anagen phase. I found some results from mant variations and techniques, from cutting a chilli in half and rubbing it on my face, to actualy buying some danger hot strength chilli extract cooking oil.. that was so strong you had to water down a single drop to even cook with it.. this stuff can cause severe skin burns!! i did try it. lol. there is capisicum in spectral.dnc too. so yeah for a cheap experiment you cab buy some chillis down at the food market and cut in half. i find jalepinos are the best. |

Ohai!
Week 13 Update Just two weeks after I've shaved, my sideburns and have grown back to the full length they were at before I shaved (11 weeks worth of progress). The chin hairs are somewhat shorter than the original length, but definitely getting there. Not only that, but all of the regrown hairs are retaining the better "thickness" that grew after the shaving. I'm honestly amazed
Hoping for more progress! ~Sangaera |

for the chilli experiment, it helps the blood flow and the development of hairs or make new vellus hairs grows?

Might not be rocket science, but to be honest I thought I was a lost cause for this experiment from the start ^^;; Shows how much self-confidence I have :P

yo there's a capsicum nasal spray on the market that you can use on your face. www.sinusbuster.com
you think chili burns on your face? take a whiff of this stuff..instant tears, your nose is pouring snot and you're looking for someone to punch. kills the headaches, though!==jcup |

New to the board, using Minox 5% for 2 Months and 1 Week | ||

Hello everybody, I'm a 21 years old french guy.
Let's introduce myself: since I am 16 years old, i'm dissapointed with my lack of facial hair. Generally, my body is very little hairy, except....I mean that I have what all men should have fortunately  .
Anyway, I couldn't grow anything except a little youthful moustache, but it isn't really made of terminal hairs. This situation has not really evolved until now, just about 5 or 6 terminal hairs on my chin  .
It really bothered me, because my friends all grew beard since we were in high school. This was embarrasing, but until my 20's I though that it would come and that I had to wait. But recently I understood that it would take a century to come (or never come) if I did nothing to force a bit the nature. I'm tired of hearing my peers joking about my lack of beard (even if they don't really want to hurt me), i'm also tired of looking younger than I am, because I lose credibility, particularly at work. So after a long seeking about the beard and "how to make it grow" on the web, I found this awesome board and now I hope that I will finally have a descent beard, thank's to this thread. Sorry for being so talkative, but I needed to expose my situation before telling more about the experiment. I wish it could help guys who have the same kind of problem. Personnaly, I've found very little informations about the subject before seeing this thread, when I found something, it was often lacking of details. OK, I decided to try the experiment, and I'm now applying 1mL of Minoxidil 5% twice a day for 2 months and a week. I am amazed by the results, nothing happened during the first month except that at its end, I could see a lot of vellues hair on my sideburns, the moustache (that had already thin dark hairs) and on some spots of the cheeks. These vellues hairs are now starting to darken and thicken slowly, and new vellues hairs are appearing on my neck, and my cheeks. I also noticed that my moustache has darkened and thickened too. I'm very happy to see things evolve, even if I find it a bit too slow (yet I know that some of us are waiting more than 3 months to see something appear). I think pics will be better than 1000 words... I have not shaved for one week, and I think I'm gonna do it NOW because it remains a lot of work to do in order to grow a descent beard. I've just realised that my moustache sucks !

I'll post my progress, maybe at least once a month. PS: sorry for my english (remember I'm french  )

Well its about 4-5 weeks into the experiment now, and admittedly I have missed a few applications here and there which is due to a busy life style. In my first
post i stated I had a few hairs on the chin, and a moustache, nothing else. I am 22 years old and this is really embarrassing for me. Anyway now my cheeks,
sideburns, chin and under chin/neck are starting to sprout lots of new hairs, some of them are quite thick and dark i really cannot believe how fast the
results are.
I have tended to keep it shaved but a couple of times I have let it grow and people have commented on me 'needing a shave' which has boosted my confidence. I will try get some pics up, and am going to continue with this experiment as so far the results seems amazing!!! |

hi,
just wondering if someone can tell me how long it generally should take for hair to thicken up. i am not a hairy person in general where i have some hair on my arms and on my legs as well on my legs is a decent amount. my arms have hair too but they are very thin hairs. sometimes you can't even see them. i've been doing the experiment and have noticed hairs on my face now but the same way as my arms they are very thin and i am just wondering if my body has the ability to thicken hair or will minoxidil do it for me. i mean getting the hairs is no problem but getting them to be thick normal hair seems to be. is there something else i should do or is it just that my body cannot make adult hairs. any advice would be appreicated. thank. |

Sorry for the words I'll use....
I have a theory: if you have hairs at the sexuals parts of your body, I think you're able to grow terminal hairs anywhere on it. I mean every place where velus hairs grow usually on it. You cannot grow anything on the palms of your hands (if you can, you're strangely made )
Be patient, participants of this thread have noticed that velus hairs took time to become terminal. I'm currently on my second month of minoxidil 5% (twice a day, and I've missed some applications), and none of my hairs are terminal (except the 4 or 5 that already were), even if they are darkening and thickening SLOWLY. Keep on applying this stuff, and you'll be rewarded for your patience! Nico PS: correct my english if you think that I made misakes, I really want to learn this language.

I forgot to ask what do you think of my progression, considering that I started this experiment two months ago, and I had almost nothing?
