Formulation And Evaluation Of Herbal Hair Dye

The study focused on creating a herbal hair dye gel using natural ingredients such as henna, amla, palash, hibiscus, and reetha, which are known for their coloring, cleaning, and strengthening properties. The gel was formulated with a base of Carbopol 940, glycerin, methyl paraben, triethanolamine, and distilled water. It was evaluated for various parameters including color, smell, pH, viscosity, spreadability, homogeneity, and stability. The results indicated that the gel had an appropriate pH (6–7), good thickness, and was easy to apply. It provided natural color, improved hair texture, and cleaned the scalp without causing irritation. The gel remained stable during storage, making it a safe and effective natural alternative to chemical hair dyes, with additional benefits for hair and scalp health.
