The study investigated the effects of water-soluble minoxidil (WMD) on hair growth in C57BL/6 mice. Mice were treated with 1%, 1.5%, and 3% WMD for 21 days. Results showed that WMD induced and prolonged the anagen phase and delayed the catagen phase of the hair cycle. The treatment led to earlier changes in skin color and significant improvements in hair length, dermis thickness, and follicle number, particularly in the 1.5% WMD group, compared to control mice. This indicated that WMD effectively promoted hair growth in the experimental mice.
