GOOD question

 

[Deleted member 21666]

yes it does, either thicken your hair width or will grow more hair strands within 1 follicle

Works for beard, lashes and eyebrows. Idk about scalp hair

It’s gonna reactivate sleeping hair follicles but not make the actual strand thicker. You can make hair strands thicker with castor oil, healthy lifestyle etc or fake it by dyeing eyebrows and so on..

Source: did wonders for me. Used it for 1 year and then quit (wanted a stubble not bcs i was balding)

How can you make your hair thicker by dyeing eyebrows?

It gives the impression of thicker hairs, but doesn’t actually make it thicker

I'm not balding but my hair is thin af, currently on minox, should I hop on castor oil aswell

U can try small amounts of castor oil orally, alongside topical since it has vitamin e in it etc

What exactly are u doing rn? Applying minox on just the scalp or eyebrows too?

I used to apply minox twice a day on my eyebrows and beard, 4 hour interval and when it dried up i slept with the castor oil on my eyebrows

You don’t apply castor oil to the scalp but to the roots, strand and tips of the scalp hair then leave it for 30 mins depending on lots of factors then shower but idk how it will interact with the minox applying on your scalp

Should I hop off minox and start castor then?

Im trying to thicken it, it’s genetically thin tbh but it’s been thicker than it is now for sure.

It varies from person to person how well you respond to it, but I almost completely reversed my baldness with it, and am now using it on my beard too. It also made my existing hairs thicker and darker, which is cool.
