You are on the right track…Potassium is a key factor in minoxidil & Spirolactone which are proven hair growers..

yes I agree

my question is - how is potassium connected to this?

Spironolactone - raises potassium

Minoxidil - raises potassium

both regrow hair

can topical potassium work or is this a misunderstanding?

I looked up the product you mentioned. It’s sold on Etsy website.. I read reviews on Reddit. It seems 10 years ago there was interest.. but now .. at least for this product line it fizzled out .. because of users reporting poor results..
My underlying theory if male pattern baldness is: (calcification's of the scalp) is the reason or a major reason treatments often fail.. Potassium counteracts calcification & therefore helps the hairs to grow..
As Calcification of scalp increases sebum/inflammation increase & this viscious cycle slowly strangles the hair follicle.. To a doctor there is no pain involved so they can’t see any problem.
