Development And Evaluation Of A Polyherbal Multipurpose Hair Mask For Enhanced Hair Health

The study focuses on developing and evaluating a polyherbal multipurpose hair mask using natural ingredients like shikakai, reetha powder, amla powder, hibiscus, flaxseed, aloe vera, curry leaves, brahmi powder, and neem powder. The formulation process involved shade drying, pulverizing, sieving, and blending these ingredients. The hair mask was assessed for various properties, including organoleptic characteristics, pH, spreadability, washability, stability, skin irritation, and overall performance. Results indicated that the hair mask had acceptable physicochemical properties and provided benefits such as improved hair texture, dandruff reduction, scalp nourishment, conditioning, and strengthening of hair follicles. The study concluded that the polyherbal hair mask is safe, economical, stable, and effective for maintaining healthy hair and scalp, offering a promising alternative to synthetic hair care products due to the synergistic activity of the herbal ingredients.
