Transcript

Here is week four of using a Dermastamp and Minoxidil to see if it's even possible to take my mustache from this to hopefully something like this Wow. So you don't have to. Last week I shaved the mustache better that didn't mean I stopped Dermastamping and using Minoxidil. Everyone was up in arms about it so I will not be shaving again for the remainder of the next two or three months. Today's a Dermastamp day, so let's jump into it so you guys can see everything I'm doing to help try and grow my mustache. First things first, I make sure I disinfect the Dermastamp, and for those asking, I do a point seven five millimeters, and then I Dermastamp and I do it about two to three tier, sometimes four if I'm really feeling it. After that, I wait a little better, and then I apply some minoxidil. This is minoxidil 5%. I got it off of Amazon. It's the Kirkland brand. And then after that, I apply some hair growth oil, help get some more blood flow to my mustache, and it also has jojoba oil in it. So it's gonna keep my skin nice and lubricated. And that's pretty much it. And after doing this for about four weeks, these are the current results. It seems to be coming in a little bit thicker, especially on the sides, which is where it needed it. But we're going to keep growing it out and keep doing this process. Follow along because I'm going to post updates once a week and hopefully in three months I got that thick mustache.
