INTRODUCTION:
An essential part of human life is hair (1). Hair care products are those formulations which are used for cleansing, modifying the
texture of hair, changing of the colour, giving life to the Stressed hair, providing nourishment to the hair and giving the healthy
appearance to the hair. Hair oils are the hair care formulations applied for treatment of hair disorders such as baldness, aggression of
hair, discolouring of hair, hair falling and Dryness of hair. The canonical text on Ayurvedic medicine, the Charaka Samhitha,
emphasizes the need of oiling the scalp and hair in order to preserve healthy hair and stop hair loss. It was advised to oil your hair
every day with suitable herbs that suited other ingredients, and this practice has persisted to this day (2).

Fig 1: Various Herbal Ingredient
The herbal hair oil formulation has significant quality and it provides various essential nutrients Used to maintain the normal functions
of the sebaceous glands and promote the hair growth naturally. The traditional method in India involves making hair oils and mixing
them with different medications that encourage hair growth. Given that Indian women are renowned for having long, lustrous, and
healthy hair, it is not unexpected that self-care rituals heavily emphasize hair maintenance.
Herbal hair oil not only moisturizes the scalp but also addresses dry scalp and hair conditions. It supplies essential nutrients necessary
for the normal functioning of sebaceous glands and supports healthy hair growth. The plant extracts used in the oil are rich in
flavonoids, polyphenols, saponins, tannins, vitamins, proteins, minerals, ricinolein acid, and other beneficial compounds. These
ingredients promote hair growth and provide numerous benefits for hair health (9).
Herbal hair oil strengthens hair and improves its texture. It delivers ample moisture to the scalp, helping to eliminate dandruff. Regular
use increases blood circulation in the scalp, which aids in repairing damaged hair. It also minimizes hygral fatigue, the swelling and
drying of hair. Furthermore, the oil protects hair follicles from surfactants by filling the gaps between cuticle cells, enhancing scalp
health. Massaging the scalp with the oil promotes exfoliation, which can reduce hair fall (10).
Different kinds of oils, such as castor, almond, coconut, and onion oils, are mixed with appropriate herbal medications and applied
topically to the scalp. Because it absorbs into hair strands more effectively than other oils and is more cost-effective than other oils,
coconut oil is the most deserving oil base of them all. For the finest hair development, coconut oil mixed to herbal medications is the
recommended method (3).
There are different types of evaluation test for hair oils such as (15):
 Acid value test

 Saponification test
 Viscosity
 Specific gravity
 Ph etc.
1. HAIR
Hair is one of the characteristics features of mammals and has various function such as protection against external factors i.e. heat,
cold, etc. Hair is one of the important parts of body considered to be protective appendages on the body and Accessory structure of
the integument along with Sebaceous gland and sweat gland.
1.1. Structure of hair:

 Hair consists of two parts:
Hair Follicle (5,6,7):
The Follicle is a structure in the skin that resembles a club. There can be a network of blood vessels at the top of the follicle that
supply nutrients to nourish and promote hair growth. We refer to this as the papilla. Every follicle is the result of a communication
between the dermis and epidermis. The folicle is segmented into three parts:
1. Infundibulum: extends from the follicle's surface opening to the sebaceous gland entrance level.
2. Isthmus: Extends from the infundibulum to the level of insertion of the arrector pilli muscle.

c876
3. Inferior segment: The base of bulb is invaginated by a tuff of vascularized loose connective tissue called dermal papilla.
The papilla of the hair contains many blood vessels and provides nourishment for hair growth
Hair Shaft (5,6,8):
The hair shaft is divided into three layers:
1. Medulla: The medulla is the centre section of hair. It will either be continuous or doubled, or it will be divided or segmented.
They are often packed with cells or resemble a hollow tube. The medulla is absent from the majority of hairs, but it might be
broken or discontinuous in others. It creates the hair shaft's midsection. Particularly fine hairs typically lack this layer.
2. Cortex: The greatest portion of the hair shaft, or melanin (hair pigment), is what gives hair its colour.
3. Cuticle: The hair shaft's transparent outer coat may be called the cuticle. It is constructed from overlapping scales that shield
the hair's inner layers. The hair's proximal end, which is closest to the scalp, and distal end are where the scales point.
Fig 2: Structure of Hair
1. The basic part of hair is bulb, root and shaft.

2. Hair fall, dandruff, lice, Split end, grey hair are some of the well known problems related to hair.
3. A piece of hair looks simple but it is one of the most complicated structures in body. Hair is made up of two structures:-

c877
1.2. Hair types
Hair type is primarily based on the curl pattern of the hair, which is determined by the hair follicle. Genetics play a key role in
determining hair type. Andre Walker, who has been Oprah Winfrey's stylist for decades, is credited with creating a system that
classifies hair into one of four curl patterns.
 Type 1: Straight
 Type 2: Wavy
 Type 3: Curly
 Type 4: Coily
1.3. HAIR GROWTH CYCLE (4):
Hair growth cycle consists of 3 stages: -
1. Anagen stage (Growth)

2. Catagen stage (Transition)
3. telogen stage (Rest)
Fig 3: Hair growth cycle
1. Anagen phase: -
The anagen phase is the growth phase of the hair. The Anagen phase will last from Between 2-6 years. A new hair pushes the new hair
that stopped growing up and out of the follicle.
2. Catagen phase: -
The catagen phase is a transitional stage and 3% of all hairs are in this phase at any given time. This phase lasts for 2-3 weeks.
3. Telogen phase: -
The telogen phase is the resting phase which lasts for about 2-3 months. During the telogen phase, the hair follicle is at rest and the
Club hair is completely formed.
2. HAIR OIL
Hair care products include hair oil. Hair care products are characterized as compositions intended to cleanse, alter the texture of hair,
nourish the hair, and preserve the appearance of healthy hair (11). Hair oils are hair care products that are used to the hair to address
conditions like baldness, graying hair, hair loss, and dry hair. They also aid in nourishing the hair (12). Due to the growing interest in
herbal cosmetics among people, as well as the fact that their ingredients are readily available and their effectiveness is greater than
that of their synthetic counterparts, herbal cosmetics are in high demand (13). A crucial component of herbal cosmetics is herbal hair
oil. Herbal hair oil is increasingly widely utilized and preferred for many hair conditions (14). The use of hair oil is growing daily in
tandem with people's rising standards of living. Herbal essences and scents are added to hair oil to give it natural flavors and colors.
