A total of 8 subjects applied NPE for 10 months, resulting in a significant decrease in hair loss and an 82.67% increase in hair loss prevention compared to before the application (p<0.05). After 60 days, 80.24% of subjects reported great satisfaction with the NPE's effects. Additionally, hair density and thickness were significantly increased by 128% and 233%, respectively (p<0.05). The study concluded that NPE containing sweet flag could effectively prevent hair loss in people with alopecia.
