Can I use minoxidil to lower my hairline?

[Deleted member 616]

I have natural nw1 hairline which means that I have a big forehead even without hair loss. My hair growth is fine but my natural high hairline is annoying. Can I use minoxidil for some hairline lowering? I don't know if that works tbh.

Was your hairline lower at point and receded?

Nah brah, gotta get your forhead skin cut off and then they'll stretch your hairline down and attach it to your remaining forhead skin

Nothing can lower your hairline other than a transplant, sorry. Minoxidil is more effective in the crown and only works on follicles that are actively miniaturizing by jump-starting the anagen phase (ie growth phase) of the hair follicles. If the follicles are dormant or it is applied to skin where there are no hair follicles, it does nothing and will not cause new hairs to suddenly appear. It is quite honestly not a very effective solution for most men. If you are taking Finasteride, there is no reason to even bother with it.
