bioflavonoid found in plants with antioxidant and hair stimulating properties

How long should Procyanidin be used before seeing visible improvements in hair volume or density? The two published human trials of 1% topical procyanidin B-2 measured results at four and six months, so any visible change would take at least that long. Both were small, industry-run studies in men only, and procyanidin is not an approved hair-loss treatment.
What is Procyanidin, and how does it encourage hair growth at the follicle level? Procyanidin stimulates hair growth by promoting cell proliferation in hair follicles.
Are Procyanidin based hair tonics or shampoos effective against androgenic alopecia? Procyanidin-based hair tonics may promote hair growth but lack definitive evidence for AGA.
