The study aimed to develop an herbal hair oil using extracts from Aloe barbadensis, Murray koenigii, Bacopa monnieri, Annona squamosal, Nardostachys jatamansi, Trigonella foenum-graecum, and Nigella sativa to enhance hair growth and address hair fall. The oil was evaluated based on physical properties, pH, viscosity, acid value, saponification value, and primary irritation. Antioxidant activity was assessed using the DPPH method, and antimicrobial properties were tested using the cup plate method. Results indicated that formulations A4 and A5 demonstrated strong antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, making them effective for promoting hair growth and maintaining stability.
