    TLDR Hibiscus leaf extract in hair tonic promotes hair growth effectively.
    The study investigated the formulation of a hair tonic using ethanol extract of hibiscus leaves (Hibiscus tiliaceous L.) to promote hair growth in guinea pigs (Cavia parcellus). The tonic was prepared in concentrations of 20%, 25%, and 30%, and its effects were compared to a blank group and a positive control (minoxidil). The hair growth activity was measured by applying the tonic to the guinea pigs' backs and assessing hair length and weight over 21 days. The results showed that the 30% hibiscus leaf extract was the most effective, with an average hair length of 17.2633 mm and hair weight of 0.1450 g, indicating its potential as a hair growth promoter.
