    TLDR Wasabi compound may help promote hair growth.
    Six years ago, a study was conducted on the effects of 6-Methylsulfinylhexyl Isothiocyanate (6-MSITC), a compound found in wasabi, on cultured human follicle dermal papilla cells. The research found that 6-MSITC significantly stimulated cell proliferation and increased the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a protein that plays a key role in hair growth. This suggests that 6-MSITC could potentially be used to promote hair growth and could be beneficial for those suffering from hair loss or alopecia.
