Effectiveness and Safety of Hair Growth Formulation Containing Tectona grandis L.f (Teak) Leaf Extract Chat 11/3/2024
Teak leaf extract shows potential as a mild hair growth promoter for androgenic alopecia, with similar positive trends to minoxidil but without significant side effects. It can be made at home using dried teak leaves and ethanol, though its effectiveness compared to other treatments like finasteride is debated.
