New to Minoxidil? There is a guide in the encyclopedia. Read the guide → Studysummary This study found that a combination of ethanol extract from watermelon white skin and liquid from kepok banana tree trunk resulted in greater hair growth length in rats compared to Minoxidil. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
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.
