    TLDR The combination of watermelon skin extract and banana trunk liquid promotes hair growth in male white rats.
    The study investigated the effects of a combination of ethanol extract from the white skin of watermelon and liquid from the trunk of the kepok banana tree on hair growth in male white rats. The combination (2:1 ratio) was found to promote hair growth more effectively than the positive control, Minoxidil, in terms of hair length, although it was less effective in terms of hair weight. This suggests that the combination could be a potent alternative for promoting hair growth.
