Topical minoxidil (5%) applied to the scalp or beard area once daily. It prolongs the anagen growth phase of hair follicles and is the most clinically proven non-prescription treatment for androgenic alopecia. Also widely used off-label to fill patchy beards — results appear in 3–6 months.

Hairline stabilized completely after 6 months. Wish I'd started earlier.
