    DAY 70

Transcript

Day 70 of using a Dermastamp on my mustache to try and get it much thicker. I've always struggled to grow facial hair rank this was always the best mustache I could come up with. It was straggly, it was super thin and so I've been trying to Dermastamp, use Minoxidil as well as a natural hair growth oil to try and change that. Over the past seventy days, I've been derma stamping every other day with a point seven five, and then I've been using minoxidil five percent every single day, twice a day, in the morning and one at night, and then I've been using the natural hair growth worse twice a day as well. And after doing that for seventy days, this is what I have to show for it. I know what you're thinking that this mustache is not very good and I agree with you better given where I started I think I've made some serious progress. As per usual, it's thicker here better then it's much thinner right there and then it almost kind of gets long there. So I've really been derma stamping and focusing on this end part here on both sides and it's getting a little bit better. There's a lot of blonde hairs right here that you probably can't see no sometime this week I'm probably gonna dye these blonde hairs, see if that makes it look any thicker. Today runs on a Dermastamp day no let's quickly run through the routine. First things first, you're gonna wanna make sure you disinfect your Dermastamp with some alcohol so you don't get an infection. Then you wanna let the alcohol dry. Like I said earlier, I'm Dermastamping with a point seven five and then you can just go to town. Gosh for those of you asking it does kind of hurt, makes my eyes water sometimes and I'm really trying to focus on these sides here. I do it about three to four times then I wait about thirty minutes to an hour before I apply the minoxidil and I like to just apply it straight up, really rub it in. And lastly, I grab my natural hair growth oil. It's got rosemary, peppermint, jojoba, and vitamin e oil and I add just a couple drops. The oil feels super nice, it gives that nice tingly feeling because all the blood flow is rushing to the mustache and the jojoba oil is gonna help it so it doesn't dry out. And that's the routine so follow along because I'm not gonna stop doing this every single day until I have that thick mustache I'm looking for.
