Transcript
Is week seven of doing everything I possibly can to grow a thick mustache. I've always wanted a thick mustache, but based on my genetics, I never could grow anything substantial. This was the best I could do, and this is after six weeks of just letting it grow. So I went ahead and did some research, and there's a lot of claims that you could help your mustache or facial hair growth with a couple items. The first one being a derma stamp. I'm currently derma stamping every other day, and I do a point seven five millimeters. And I do, like, five or six passes over my mustache. The second is gonna be minoxidil. I'm currently using minoxidil every single day, morning and night. And the brand I'm using is the Kirkland one, and it's the minoxidil 5%. And lastly, I'm using a natural hair growth oil that's got rosemary, peppermint, jojoba, and vitamin e. For those asking, it's from Revay Naturals. So over the past seven weeks, I've been using all three of these methods and here's the update. And voila, here is the mustache at week seven. Keep in mind that I did shave it at week three better that doesn't mean I stopped implementing these methods. So right from the rip, it's starting to get pretty tier. It's probably time that I trim just a little bit that's covering my lip. But what you see, I don't know if it'll show in the camera, on the sides where it looks much thinner and it is thinner better there's just a lot of blonde hairs no you can't really see them. So I'm debating maybe next week I'll actually dye the mustache so we can really see what the growth looks like including those blonde hairs. Also, if you look in the middle there, you can kind of see some of those hairs in the middle are now black and they're coming in a little bit which is very nice. So I think it's pretty safe to say that it is coming in much thicker better it still has not been long enough no stick around. I'm gonna post updates every week. I'm gonna try and do this for three to four maybe even six months, however long it takes tier I got a thick mustache.
