    TLDR The 3:2 combination of pandan and snake plant extracts promotes hair growth effectively and is safe to use.
    The study aimed to develop a hair tonic using a combination of ethanol extracts from pandan leaves (Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb) and snake plant leaves (Sansevieria trifasciata Prain). The extracts were combined in ratios of 1:1, 2:3, and 3:2, with the 3:2 ratio showing the best hair growth activity. This formulation was then compared to a hair tonic base, a normal control, and 5% minoxidil. Results indicated that the 3:2 extract tonic had similar hair growth activity to the positive control by weeks 3 and 4. Stability tests over 3 months at various temperatures and acute dermal irritation tests showed very mild irritation indices. Microbial contamination tests met cosmetic standards with colony counts <10^5.

Some suggest trying rosemary oil alongside other treatments, while others emphasize the difference between the extract used in the study and the oil.
