    TLDR Medicinal plants can treat hair disorders by fighting fungi and improving hair health.
    The study reviewed 23 studies from 2012-2022, highlighting the effectiveness of medicinal plants in treating hair disorders through antifungal and antioxidant actions. These plants, processed mainly by maceration, showed activity against fungi like Malassezia spp. and Trichophyton spp., due to phytochemicals such as flavonoids, phenolics, tannins, and terpenoids. The findings suggested that these bioactive compounds could be developed into pharmaceutical products to enhance therapeutic options and improve patients' quality of life, emphasizing the need for further research on their safety, efficacy, and toxicity.
