Has anyone eyebrows gotten thicker on proscar and minoxidil

I was going to post this a week ago because it was mildly amusing, but forgot to. I have had two eyebrow hairs go "terminal". They were much thicker than regula eyebrow hairs and about 1.5- 2 inches when I cut them.

Yeah and my eyelashes have gone crazy, too.

i bet you guys are willing to take any sort of medication to grow your hair back even if it enlarges your breasts like a women as a side effect

I wouldnt go that far crazy boy (btw nice regime).... On top of my eye brows light hair has appeared which i never used to have :freaked2:

i think the eyebrow hair is worth it though

The initial premise of this thread is correct, and it is ubiquitous amongst minoxidil users. My eyebrows haven't been hit that hard, but there is a difference. The BIGGEST difference I notice is not in the eyebrows, but in the hair on the back of my neck, the sh*t the hairstylist normally trims down. I have to shave it myself in between haircuts, or else I start developing serious primate neck.

i've always had fairly thick, long eyelashes, but noticed they've gotten thicker w/ propecia and MSM. never had a problem w/ the eyebrows which is strange. but i do get compliments by women on my eyelashes, but always have since i was a kid.

holy sh*t, did that just start to come after you started taking finasteride?

I have to shave my neck hair every week.

Pretty annoying.

yeah, i definitely noticed a thickening of my eyebrows and some appearance of peach fuzz near them after using minoxidil for a couple of months... hairline lower from minoxidil = good.... hairline so low from minoxidil that it encorporates the eyebrows = not so good...

when i first noticed it, though, i started taking a little soap and water and carefully washing off my eyebrows and the surrounding area a little bit after applying minoxidil. this seems to have reversed the effects almost entirely.

Exactly the same as Green Soap, Beaudefish.

I'm sick of getting eye lashes in my eye, which then makes my eyes water, only for people to ask me if i'm crying... When i reply i have an eyelash in my eye no one believes me. It's like saying you walked into a door!

I'm sure people think i'm a manic depressive who is about to crack at any minute. :crazy:

I've had such a good improvement in my tempel region with minoxidil that I basically got a unibrow that streched all the way to my hairline. Got my GF to pluck all that crap and now I am more careful about minoxidil dripping down the forehead which I beleive caused the whole thing.

A few people have also said that my eyelashes have gotten longer. Anybody have any explanations on this one? Seeing as minoxidil haven't gotten there is it the Proscar that is doing it even though I am only 3-4 months in on my treatment with the big three?
