TLDR Rosa multiflora root extract promotes hair growth and prevents hair loss.

The study evaluated the hair growth promotion effects of a herbal product containing Rosa multiflora roots extracts (RMHP) through preclinical and clinical trials. In animal experiments with 4-week-old male C57BL/6 mice, RMHP significantly stimulated hair growth compared to the negative control. In a clinical trial involving 37 patients over 16 weeks, RMHP significantly increased hair density from 104.3 ± 4.7 FU/㎠ to 125.0 ± 4.9 FU/㎠ and hair thickness from 0.055 ± 0.002 ㎜ to 0.066 ± 0.003 ㎜. Clinical photo-interpretation showed significant improvement in hair growth, indicating RMHP's effectiveness in preventing hair loss and promoting hair growth.
