Question 5

what causes hair on th head to grow faster and thicker?

Accepted Answer

Rogaine, (minoxidil) Propecia: The only two hair growth products currently on the market with real clinical data to support their use are rogaine (minoxidil) (topical) and Propecia (oral).

The downside is that insurance seldom pays for either one; but Propecia is about to go generic, which should lower the price.

do prenatal pills really make skin clearer and hair grow?

However, if you already have adequate levels of these vitamins, you probably won't see much difference.
