P&G’s project was aimed primarily to cure baldness in… Women and not men. Surprising I know, but back in those days baldness in women was viewed as a more lucrative target market. They were also going for much stronger and broader results than what Minoxidil generally provides in order to compete with it. Minoxidil was developed by Upjohn in the 50’s.
i do recall hearing something about the head-hair results not being as effective as beard-hair result, something about different hair follicle types?
just pulling from memory/personal experience though, no studies or anything
beard results do appear to be permanent, slightly less thick when you stop but long as you use it for a year or so it does seem to fill out a pube-beard permanently.
…there’s already a cure for this though? minoxidil, great for filling out beards
Minoxidil has a very narrow efficacy.
