Transcript excerpt

Week one of doing everything I can to try and grow a thick mustache. I've always wanted facial hair, but this was the best I could good. So I've set up to change that by doing everything I possibly can to grow a thick mustache. Over the past week, I've been derma stamping every other day while also using minoxidil 5% worse a day as well as some rosemary, peppermint, and jojoba oil. And today's a derma stamp day, so let's run through the routine. First things first, I like to disinfect the derma stamp. Then it's important to let the derma stamp actually dry out. Once it's dry, I adjust the derma stamp to a point seven five and then I start stamping. And once I finish stamping, I wait about two hours to apply the minoxidil as well as the rosemary oil. It's been a couple hours, so let's apply the Minoxidil. And lastly, let's apply some Hair Growth Oil. I love the tingling sensation it gives after I rub it in. So I've officially been doing this for one week and here are the results. It might just be a placebo effect, but it does feel like it's coming in a little bit darker and thicker. With that said though, it's obviously way too early to tell, so we're just gonna keep doing this rout
