Evaluation of Hair Growth Activity of Ethanol Extract Combination from Pandanus Leaves (Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb.) and Sansevieria Leaves (Sansevieria trifasciata Prain.)

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.

A user is interested in creating a hair growth serum using oleic acid, palmitoleic acid, and anhydrous ethanol, and seeks advice on sourcing these ingredients. Another user plans to mix these with minoxidil, which already contains ethanol, and mentions using RU58841.

OP is looking for ethanol to make a topical finasteride solution for hair loss treatment. Users suggest using Everclear or Spirytus as alternatives for ethanol.

The conversation is about finding ethanol in California for mixing with RU58841 for hair loss treatment. Users suggest alternatives like high-proof alcohol from liquor stores or purchasing lab-grade ethanol online.

The conversation discusses the use of Minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss and explores the potential of Geranium sibiricum extract as a safer alternative. It highlights the difficulty in finding this specific extract and suggests considering other plants with similar compounds, like Indian gooseberry.

Rosemary extract showed high inhibitory activity against DHT, similar to finasteride and dutasteride, but the conversation includes skepticism about its effectiveness in humans since the study was done on mice and rosemary oil is often considered ineffective based on personal experiences. Some suggest trying rosemary oil alongside other treatments, while others emphasize the difference between the extract used in the study and the oil.
