TLDR Grape seed proanthocyanidins can promote hair growth.
The 1998 study by Takahashi, Kamiya, and Yokoo found that proanthocyanidins from grape seeds significantly increased the proliferation of mouse hair follicle cells by approximately 230% compared to controls. This was part of a larger investigation into natural products for hair growth, examining around 1,000 plant extracts, and suggested that grape seed proanthocyanidins could be a promising natural agent for promoting hair growth.
