Then I read an article in the Readers Digest about a new hair growth product and how it came to be. The story was that the company had a request from one of their researchers about a new blood pressure medicine that was having an undesirable side effect. The blood pressure medicine grew hair and the researcher wanted to find out how to make it stop. The medication apparently encouraged the circulation in the tiny blood vessels around the roots of hairs ( along with improving circulation elsewhere ) that caused the hairs to revive and start growing again.

The company made some minor changes to the blood pressure medicine to be able to market a hair growth product. I have been using it for years now and I still have most of my hair. My brother ( who does not use the product ) is completely bald. Hair loss is not an easy problem to resolve, but it can be fought.
