Bitter Gourd Hair Mask to Reduce Hair Loss and Dandruff

The study by Agus Susanti and Lailatun Nasikhah explores the effectiveness of a hair mask made from pare (bitter gourd) fruit in reducing hair loss and dandruff. The hair mask, composed of stearic acid, liquid paraffin, bitter melon juice, menthol, TEA, lime seed perfume, and nipagin, was applied twice a week. The research involved literature review, experiments, documentation, interviews, and questionnaires, with 41 respondents participating in the public acceptance test. Results indicated that the pare fruit hair mask effectively reduced hair loss and dandruff. However, the study suggests the need for further clinical trials and durability tests, along with regular hair washing, to enhance the product's efficacy.
