New dense patches of long vellus hair on temples

[EricGerard]

Hey guys.

I've been using minoxidil on my temples for the past couple months and I'm starting to notice that my temples have filled in with very dense patches of vellus hairs. I'm talking real dense.. the same density as the rest of my head! The hairs are pretty long too.. maybe a cm or so long. If these hairs became pigmented, I'd have fully dense temples again basically. Do you think these will become terminal? I'm not even a NW2, so these areas haven't been bald for that long. A few years at the most.

Photos? People make claims but it simply isn't true unless there is documentation to prove it.

That being said minoxidil hasn't done Much for my hair line. I am envious.

I've seen many cases of people using minoxidil and actually restoring their hairline.....Diffuser....but it definitely isn't common.
As you said though they're only vellus hair, it's always like that.

They won't grow into terminal hairs, I'm pretty certain off. Need a more powerful growth hormone, I read of a guy using Dog shampoo or fungal cream because it contained a special ingredient in-conjunction with Minoxidil that acctually got him terminal hairs.

I don't doubt many men restore their hair lines. It's just better if they have photos. Otherwise I'm reading that someone saved their hair, or they think they saved their hair, with no or little proof to back up their statements. Is it that hard to take photos?

I know the before picture isn't that clear, but rest assured that the corners of my temples were slick. No vellus hairs at all. Now, there are healthy patches of vellus hairs there.

Huh. That's kinda cool

I had this as well when starting out. Mine turned into little black(my hair color) hairs that never get longer than a quarter inch.
