This review highlights the benefits of henna (Lawsonia inermis) as a natural and safer alternative to synthetic hair dyes, which can cause skin irritation and other health issues. Henna's active dyeing component, lawsone, binds to hair keratin, providing an orange-red to brown color. Combining henna with other herbs like indigo, amla, and hibiscus can enhance color variety and appeal. While henna is safer, it has limitations in color range and stability. The review emphasizes the need for standardized evaluation and global regulatory harmonization. Future research should explore advanced formulations and clinical validation to establish henna as a widely accepted hair dye.

The study developed and evaluated a herbal hair mask using natural ingredients like flaxseed, fenugreek, aloe vera, and hibiscus, aiming to provide a safer alternative to synthetic hair products. Two formulations (F1 and F2) were tested for properties such as odor, texture, pH, spreadability, stability, and skin irritation. The results showed that the formulations had a pleasant odor, smooth texture, and suitable pH for scalp application, with no significant changes under various storage conditions, indicating good stability. The skin irritation test confirmed the formulations were non-irritant and safe for topical use. The herbal hair mask effectively conditioned, moisturized, and showed potential anti-dandruff and hair-strengthening properties, concluding it as a safe, stable, and effective natural option for healthy hair maintenance.

The study developed and evaluated 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 hair mask was assessed for various properties, including organoleptic characteristics, pH, spreadability, washability, stability, skin irritation, and overall performance. Results indicated that the formulation 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 a safe, economical, stable, and effective alternative to synthetic hair care products, with the herbal ingredients working synergistically to enhance hair and scalp health.

The study developed and evaluated a polyherbal hair oil using extracts from Nagarmotha, Curry Leaves, Amla, Hibiscus, and Fenugreek in a coconut oil base. Three formulations were tested for organoleptic and physicochemical properties, as well as stability over six months at various temperatures. Formulation F2 was identified as the most stable and balanced, with a pH of 5.5 and viscosity of 48.7 mPa•s, showing no significant changes during the stability period. The study concludes that F2 is stable, cosmetically appealing, and holds potential for promoting hair growth and maintaining scalp health.

The study developed and evaluated a herbal hair cream for treating alopecia using ingredients like Jamalgota, Neem oil, Amla, Hibiscus oil, and Aloe vera, known for their hair growth-promoting and scalp nourishing properties. Three formulation batches were created, with Batch 3 showing the best results in terms of texture, pH, spreadability, and stability. The formulations were free from microbial contamination and safe for topical use. The study concluded that the herbal hair cream is a safe, natural, and effective alternative for managing alopecia and promoting healthy hair growth.

This study explores a topical solution combining 5% minoxidil sulfate and 1% rosemary essential oil for treating androgenetic alopecia (AAG), a leading cause of hair loss. Minoxidil is known for promoting hair growth by enhancing peripheral vasodilation and extending the anagen phase, while rosemary oil offers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits for scalp health. Two formulations with different vehicle compositions were developed, both showing suitable physicochemical properties and homogeneity, indicating potential as a compounded treatment for AAG. The vehicle type did not affect the outcome. Further accelerated stability studies and clinical trials are recommended to confirm the therapeutic efficacy and safety of this combination.

This study investigates the degradation profile of finasteride, a drug used for benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenetic alopecia, under stress conditions. Using LC–MS, three degradation products were identified under acidic conditions, with minimal degradation in alkaline and oxidative environments. The degradation products were isolated and analyzed using preparative HPLC, HRMS, and NMR spectroscopy. The study revealed that the degradation process of DP-1 involved cleavage of the tert-butyl amide and addition of water across the alkene moiety. The structure of DP-1 was established through various spectroscopic techniques, and it, along with other degradation products, was found to be previously undescribed. These findings enhance the understanding of finasteride's degradation chemistry, aiding impurity profiling, stability studies, and quality control of its formulations.

The study investigates the potential of stigmasterol (STR) as a treatment for androgenetic alopecia (AA) using computational methods. STR showed strong binding affinity with key genes involved in AA, particularly MAPK3, with a binding energy of -9.1 kcal/mol, surpassing that of finasteride. Molecular dynamics simulations confirmed the stability of the STR-MAPK3 complex. These findings suggest STR could regulate AA-related mechanisms, positioning it as a promising natural therapeutic agent. However, further empirical studies are needed to confirm its clinical application.

It highlights the benefits of herbal hair masks over synthetic formulations, including nourishment, conditioning, dandruff control, and hair growth promotion. The review covers various preparation techniques and evaluation parameters, such as organoleptic, physicochemical, phytochemical, microbiological, and stability studies, emphasizing the synergistic effects of herbal ingredients in enhancing hair health while reducing adverse effects.

The document reviews the development and evaluation of natural hair dye formulations, highlighting the growing interest in plant-derived pigments like henna, indigo, and beetroot as safer alternatives to synthetic dyes. These natural dyes primarily coat the hair surface and are associated with fewer health risks, showing near-neutral pH, low irritation potential, and good stability. However, they face challenges such as limited shade range, application consistency, and fading with washing. Some commercial products may be adulterated with synthetic additives, affecting safety perceptions. The review emphasizes the need for further research on standardization and improved delivery systems for better consumer acceptance.

Anti-aging peptides are promising in cosmeceuticals for improving skin appearance by targeting biological mechanisms of skin aging. They stimulate extracellular matrix protein synthesis, inhibit matrix-degrading enzymes, enhance skin barrier integrity, suppress inflammation, and modulate micro-muscle contractions. Despite their potential and generally favorable safety profiles, challenges such as peptide stability, purity, effective skin penetration, and limited standardized clinical data remain. Future advancements in delivery technologies and rigorous clinical research are necessary to overcome these barriers and enhance the effectiveness of peptide-based formulations.
