This was somewhat a staple in many homes when I was a child. "It will grow hair", if you can stand the smell. I used to use it, and I got remarks "where's that bacon smell coming from?" It's so strong, it would sometime keep me awake at night. I used on my youngest daughter when she was small. Her hair just wouldn't grow. Once I used Glover's her hair started to shoot out! They have a lighter scent on the market today.
