Abstract

Hair loss is a prevalent concern among both men and women, with issues such as thinning, dandruff, and hair fall commonly linked to this condition. While synthetic medications are available to address these concerns, they often come with adverse side effects such as burning, itching, dizziness, and dermatological reactions. These synthetic treatments may also fail to provide permanent relief, highlighting the need for safer, long-term alternatives. This study explores the development of a herbal hair oil formulated using natural ingredients, including hibiscus, Amla, shikakai, fenugreek seeds, coconut oil, almond oil, and neem oil, to address common hair-related issues. The goal was to create a safe, effective, and holistic solution to promote hair growth, strengthen hair follicles, improve scalp health, and moisturize the hair, without the negative side effects associated with synthetic products. Hibiscus is known for its follicle-strengthening properties, amla for its ability to support scalp health, and coconut oil for its moisturizing and conditioning effects. Preliminary results suggest that the herbal hair oil is a promising natural alternative, offering a gentle yet effective approach to hair care. This research advocates for the use of plant-derived ingredients in personal care products, emphasizing their potential in promoting healthier hair. Further studies are necessary to validate these findings and explore the full therapeutic potential of the herbal hair oil formulation.
