Hi, there is a study published in 2023 which showed that rats exposed to UV light experienced hair regrowth on topical rice bran oil that was comparable to 2% minoxidil. The paper can be found here:

On the fifth page, there is a striking photo comparing a placebo, minoxidil, and rice bran oil rat which I've attached to this post.
What are your thoughts? Rice bran oil is very cheap and easily accessible at any supermarket. I have a big bottle with me right now that I originally bought to cook with and I'm considering applying 2 mL of it with a pipette/dropper to my scalp every day alongside the usual treatments like finasteride and minoxidil that are proven to work.
