learn Ginkgo biloba

Does ginkgo biloba improve scalp circulation, and does that help hair regrowth? No human study has shown that ginkgo improves scalp circulation or regrows hair; the direct hair evidence is a 1993 mouse study. Ginkgo may increase bleeding risk, especially with blood thinners.

No published human trial has tested ginkgo biloba for hair loss by either route, so neither oral nor topical use can be recommended over the other; the oral route also has a documented bleeding interaction with anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs.
