Minoxidil is a drug that is FDA approved for use on your scalp, but in recent years, people on the internet have discovered that it works wonderfully for beard growth also. And yes, if you use minoxidil long enough the beard gains are permanent.
So, what is Minoxidil?
Minoxidil is a liquid or foam based solution that stimulates hair growth. It:
- Reverses miniaturisation of hair follicles.
- Increases blood flow around your hair follicles.
- Stimulates follicle movement from resting to hair growth phase.
- Extends each hair follicle’s growth phase.
