Hair plays a crucial role in the human body and it is imperative to uphold a healthy scalp. Various factors, including hormonal influences, age, gender, pollution, and food habits impact the hair. Herbal ingredients such as amla, hibiscus, brahmi, neem, saw palmetto etc are widely used to treat hair disorders such as premature hair loss, dandruff, and canities. Herbal ingredients may be used in hair shampoos, oils, tonics, serums, gels, conditioners etc. This article offers a detailed examination of the utilisation of natural components in hair care products, emphasising their importance and advantages in supporting scalp health, encouraging hair growth, and improving overall hair condition. It also reviews the sensory aspect and potential aromatherapy of herbal hair treatments. The article addresses the challenges and considerations related to herbal formulations, such as individual sensitivities, shelf life, and the need for transparency in labelling.
