It did occur to me. There is an actual company here in Mexico selling shampoo made from mare’s urine. I have some questions regarding that:
1. Presumably the mare’s urine works because it contains female sex hormones like estrogen.
2. I assume it is marketed to women.
3. If men used it, what would happen? If the estrogen is absorbed into the scalp, would unwanted problems such as man-boobs occur?
4. Are such products sold in the USA? -
