The study investigated the hair growth activity of terentang (Campnosperma brevipetiolatum Volkens) stem bark extract in male rabbits, using six different treatments including various concentrations of the extract (0.5%, 1%, and 5%), a negative control, a positive control, and no treatment. Over 21 days, hair length and weight were measured, and statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA showed significant differences in hair growth among the treatments (P<0.05). The 5% concentration of terentang stem bark extract was found to be the most effective in promoting hair growth.
