What this video covers
This is a creator video, not a Hims production. The channel Beards and Banjos published it on 2024-06-19, and it runs 7:03. According to its title, it is a month 3 update on hair restoration using topical finasteride and minoxidil from Hims. The description says the creator began the treatment through the Hims website and asks viewers whether they can see a difference after three months.
The description also says the creator goes over their experience so far and covers other hair restoration therapies they plan to add. It does not name those therapies, and it gives no results or measurements, so this write-up does not either. No chapters are listed, so there is no way to tell from the metadata where each topic comes up. The description opens with a link to a later 9 month update on the same channel, which may suit readers who want a longer timeline.
On disclosures, the description includes affiliate links for a collagen supplement and a biotin supplement the creator says they use. It also has Amazon Associate links for studio equipment, an affiliate link for a streaming platform, channel membership and donation links, and a long list of discount codes for beard care brands. The description does not mention a sponsorship, affiliate link or discount code for Hims. This is one person's account of their own experience and is not medical guidance.
Our summary, written from the video's title, description and chapters (description and chapters), checked 2026-10-31. It reports what the creator presents; it is not medical advice, and the creator's experience may not match yours.
