TLDR The 3:2 combination of pandanus and sansevieria leaf extracts promotes the best hair growth.

The study aimed to determine the hair growth activity of a combination of pandanus leaves (Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb.) and sansevieria leaves (Sansevieria trifasciata Prain.) extracts. The extracts were combined in different ratios (1:1, 2:3, and 3:2) at a 5% concentration. The results indicated that the 3:2 combination had the best hair growth activity, outperforming both the individual extracts and the control treatments (normal control, 96% ethanol, and minoxidil). This suggests that the combination extract was more effective in promoting hair growth.
