    WEEK 2 MUSTACHE

Transcript

Week two of doing everything I possibly can to grow a thick mustache. I've always wanted a nice mustache but this was always the best I could do no I've set out to change that. Over the past two weeks, I've been derma stamping every other day as well as applying minoxidil and hair growth serum twice a day, every day. So on the days that I'm not derma stamping, I'll apply minoxidil and the hair growth serum in the morning and then before I go to bed. But today lands on a derma stamping day, so let's jump into it. First things first, I disinfect the Dermastamp with some alcohol. Then Then it's important to let the alcohol dry before you start stamping. Once the Dermastamp is dry, you can adjust the needles to the length that you worst. I'm gonna use a point seven five and then you go ahead and start stamping. For me, I'm looking for growth on my mustache and I'll start stamping from right to left and I do that about three to four times. Once I finish stamping, I wait about one to two hours before I apply the minoxidil, then I apply that thoroughly, rub it in, and then I finish with some hair growth oil. This oil is packed with rosemary, peppermint, and jojoba, so not only does it help with growth, but it'll help prevent any drying out of the skin that the minoxidil will be doing. So it's officially been two weeks, and here are the results. It seems to be coming in a little bit thicker, especially on the sides, which is where it was struggling the worst. But obviously, two weeks is still too early to tell. But what do you guys think? Do you think there's been a difference?
