May 2026 in “Iconic Research and Engineering Journals” This review highlights the benefits of polyherbal hair oils, which combine multiple medicinal plant extracts to promote hair growth and improve scalp health. Key plants such as Amla, Bhringraj, Neem, Hibiscus, and Fenugreek are noted for their antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and hair growth–stimulating properties. The review discusses how these formulations address hair disorders like alopecia, dandruff, premature greying, and hair thinning through various biological pathways. It concludes that polyherbal hair oils are a scientifically validated, cost-effective, and sustainable alternative to synthetic products, with potential for large-scale production and clinical use.
