    A Hair Growth Stimulant, also known as a Hair Growth Promoter or Hair Growth Enhancer, is a substance or treatment designed to encourage the growth of hair. These stimulants can include topical solutions like minoxidil, oral medications like finasteride, or natural remedies such as essential oils. They work by improving blood circulation to the scalp, prolonging the growth phase of hair follicles, or blocking hormones that cause hair loss.
