    TLDR A combination of Aloe vera and liquorice extracts promotes significant hair growth.
    The study investigated the hair growth-promoting activity of a combination of Aloe vera and liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) extracts. Three different combinations were tested on rabbits over 28 days. Combination 1, consisting of 2.5% liquorice extract and 7.5% Aloe vera extract, showed the most significant results, with an average hair length of 2.97 cm, a hair growth acceleration of 0.15 cm/day by day 7, and a hair weight of 0.13 grams. This combination was found to be the most effective in promoting hair growth among the tested formulations.
