Transcript

Week three of using a derma stamp, minoxidil, and hair growth oil to try and grow a thick mustache. For the longest time, I've always wanted a thick mustache, but this was always the best I could do. So I've set out to try and do everything I possibly can to change that. I'm currently derma stamping twice a week while also using minoxidil and hair growth oil every single day, twice a day. And it's been three weeks, and this is what I have to show for it. It definitely seems to be growing in much thicker, especially on the sides, which is where it was struggling the worst. But I think it's been long enough without shaving, so I'm gonna shave today and then continue the process. So let's shave it off and then jump into the full hair growth routine with thermostamping, minoxidil, and hair growth. Say goodbye to three weeks of hard worse. Pretty unimpressive for three weeks. But give it a couple months, I believe that I'm gonna have a thick mustache. Alright. So we're all shaved up. Now it's time to jump in the routine. Gonna take my dermostam, gotta disinfect it first, some alcohol. Now tier to let this baby dry. And I like to use a point seven five millimeters because I'm on my face and I don't wanna get any scarring. I like to do three passes. Kinda hurts, but in like a good way. It'll make your eyes water. Alrighty. Now I'm gonna wait a little bit and then I'm gonna apply the minoxidil. And for those of you asking, I'm using the minoxidil 5% just from Kirkland. It's pretty cheap. I got it on Amazon. I'm sure you can get it at Costco as well. Then it's time for some hair growth oil. Not only will this help some growth, but more than anything, it'll help keep my skin from drying out. But because it's got rosemary and peppermint, it gives this awesome, like, tingling sensation on the face as well, getting all that blood flow to the mustache. Alright. Now best rub that in, and voila. In three months' time, we're gonna have a thick mustache. And follow along because I'm gonna post a mustache update at least once a week.
