When using Hairgrow, several precautions should be observed to minimize risks and ensure optimal results.

• Apply only to dry scalp and avoid contact with eyes or mucous membranes.
• Do not use on irritated, infected, or sunburned skin.
• Limit application to the recommended area; excessive use does not improve outcomes.

• Pregnant or nursing individuals should consult a healthcare professional before starting treatment.

Hairgrow may interact with certain medications or substances; awareness of these interactions helps avoid adverse effects.

• Hair dyes or chemical treatments; allow the scalp to dry before applying Hairgrow.
• Supplements that affect blood flow, such as ginkgo biloba; discuss with a clinician.
