So, I found some hair products that have 50% P.G. in them. I know that P.G.is good for detox but why? What is the uses of P.G. and Salicylic acid during detox? How should one utilize them best? I would like to experiment with them. Thanks...

What products have 50% propylene glycol? This is the active ingredient in Zydot's Purifier and in the much sought after but discontinued Aloe Rid Treatment. PG is proven to reduce thc metabolites in the hair.

Salicylic Acid is the active ingredient in Clean and Clear, part of the Mac Method.

Saw it in a cheap version of Rogain. It was 50% v/v of PG. Thought it would be useful to mix with shampoo and wash with. The directions said apply two or three drops per day for hair growth effects (if that works!!!). Be warned, only the kind for Men has the PG in it. From the sounds of it a mixing would be great! What you think? It was like 20 bucks as compared to rogain at 54. I saw it at target.

he might be on to something... i found this about minoxidil covering up metabolites in hair samples..



Treatments against hair loss may hinder cocaine and metabolites detection

Dingleberry

be careful, rogaine is pretty effective as far as hair growth is concerned!! its actually the only product right now that does work for regenerating the papilla(which shrinks and causes hair loss) I dont know what it would do to someone with healthy hair...neever tried it ha
