    TLDR Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. and Baccaurea racemosa extracts help hair growth.
    This study investigates the effects of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. and Baccaurea racemosa extracts on hair growth in stress-induced alopecia using male Wistar albino rats subjected to the tail suspension test. The B. racemosa extract showed higher total phenol (4,223.06 mg/100 g) and flavonoid content (10,383.12 mg/100 g) and greater DPPH free radical reduction (1,593.17 mg/L GAEAC) compared to the H. rosa-sinensis L. extract. The Minoxidil 2% group exhibited the longest hair and highest hair density, while the combination of both extracts in a 1:1 ratio resulted in the most hair follicles. The study concludes that phenolic and flavonoid substances in these extracts positively influence hair growth activity.

      The discussion revolves around the need for future oral DHT blockers for hair loss treatment that don't have the side effects of current options like Finasteride and Dutasteride. One user suggests that the future of hair loss treatment will likely be topical anti-androgens, as they can target hair follicles without affecting the entire system.

Some users are willing to try it as a last resort after other treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride failed, while others express concerns about potential long-term side effects and lack of official research.
