    TLDR Herbal drugs show promise for treating alopecia with fewer side effects, but standardization is challenging.
    This updated review explores various treatments for alopecia, emphasizing the potential of herbal drugs due to their minimal side effects. The study highlights the role of 5α-reductase inhibitors (5ARIs) in blocking dihydrotestosterone production, a key factor in androgenetic alopecia. These inhibitors prevent hair follicle miniaturization and hair loss by exerting anti-androgenic effects. Despite the promise of herbal remedies, challenges remain in standardizing the concentration of active compounds in these extracts. The review also discusses other treatment methods, including allopathic, ayurvedic, acupuncture, mesotherapy, hair transplantation, nutritional support, and aromatherapy.
