    TLDR Both gel and microemulsion with Waru leaves and Java Tamarind extracts effectively promote hair growth.
    The study investigated the hair growth effects of gel and microemulsion formulations containing ethanol extracts of Waru leaves and Java Tamarind. Using male rabbits, the research found that both formulations promoted hair growth, with the best results observed at a 2:1 concentration ratio of Waru leaves to Java Tamarind. The gel formulation with quaternary CMC Na:Tween 80:Propilengliko = 7:15:15 and the microemulsion with Tween 80:Propilenglikol = 37:15 showed physical stability. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in hair growth activity between the gel and microemulsion, indicating both were equally effective.
