Vinegar - yes, it helps to condition the hair and hide. The Alcohol - not so sure. we have used green as a mix on showday when out of absorbine and it did help to pop the hair but I think that daily use would be hard on the skin, thus ultimately defeating the purpose of hair growth. Mineral Oil - we have used on flaky skin but never daily. Not that it won't work I guess. When we do use it, it puts some serious weight on the hair and can make a particle of dirt 1/2 a mile away automatically stick to the hair. It is a magnet for dirt which is hard on clipper blades if you clip often. Not sure that helps you much, but if you do a search for hair care or growth on here there is a TON of information on it. Good luck!
