    TLDR Red Palm Oil promotes hair growth more effectively than Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
    This experimental study investigated the effectiveness of Red Palm Oil (RPO) and Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) on hair growth in rabbits. Four groups were tested: RPO, EVOO, negative control (aqua dest), and positive control (minoxidil). Hair growth was measured at intervals over 30 days, and hair weight was assessed on the 31st day. The results indicated that both RPO and EVOO promoted hair growth, with RPO being the most effective in accelerating hair growth.
