minoxidil is officially recommended for 18+ because it hasn’t really been studied on minors, not necessarily because it’s super dangerous. if you’re under 18, i wouldn’t use it.

for eyebrow growth, 5% minoxidil can work. apply a small amount once daily (at night) with a q-tip and keep it away from your eyes. results usually take 8–12 weeks, and some shedding at the start is normal.

just know that if you stop using it, the new hairs can fall out.

if you’re under 18, better try castor oil daily, don’t overpluck, and make sure you get enough protein and nutrients.

If you’re not actively thinning/balding or have really thin eyebrows I wouldn’t start minoxidil at 16 cause you have to marry it

i wouldn’t use it before 18 mainly because there aren’t proper studies on minors, so we don’t really know the long-term effects. your hormones are still developing, and it’s just not something i’d experiment with that young unless a doctor says it’s okay.
for me it worked, but it took time. i noticed slight shedding in the first few weeks, then small baby hairs around week 8–10. after about 3 months it looked fuller. consistency is key.

At what age did you start to use it?

Just wanted to add onto this.

After a year of usage it usually stabilizes. Meaning the hair you've grown from using the minoxidil stays.

You're acting like its a 19-nor compound. :LOL:

Everything should honestly be fine with using minoxidil before the age of 18.

I do appreciate the concern. (y)

Pretty hard to manage to do that, stings like a motherfucker if you do tho. :ROFLMAO:
Ya lmao I can’t think of any other ways to mess it up

I started at 16 and have had zero side effects

I've never heard of side effects on topical.

Oral on the other hand is a different story.
They are practically nothing you should worry about tho.

did any of yall experience shedding/hair falling specifically on eyebrows after stopped using it(still using other hair growth serums). I plucked one eyebrow thinner than the other at 14 cause i was a dumb bitch and now my left eyebrow is slightly thicker and i wanna fix it. i had already used castor oil and hair growth serums but it didnt quite help

Exactly, its not some magic compound that will make you grow a "bush" on your brows within an instant.

Consistency is key.

Apply more on the side that has less.

Simple as that.
