One thing to remember (and this applies to magic of any sort in any 
game) is that it by definition follows it's own rules. Logic, at least 
the kind we use, need not apply.

The hair growth is, in this case, a negative effect. As such, I'd say 
it can be cured with appropriate means including Remedy.

Life giving elixers are pretty different, so it really shouldn't 
interact.

But that's my opinion.
