Description
Higrow contains Minoxidil, a vasodilator medicine used topically for the treatment of hair loss. It is commonly prescribed for male pattern baldness on the crown of the scalp and for women with thinning hair. Minoxidil works by improving blood circulation to hair follicles, extending the growth phase of hair, and stimulating regrowth in areas of thinning. While effective in slowing hair loss and promoting regrowth, its results vary among individuals and require consistent, long-term use.
