    TLDR The Hibiscus shampoo is effective, safe, and free from harmful preservatives.
    The study formulated a shampoo using Hibiscus rosa-sinensis Linn., known for its hair growth-promoting, anti-greying, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties. Conducted at ST. WILFRED'S INSTITUTE OF PHARMACY, the research included identification, quantitative analysis, extraction, and evaluation. The alcoholic extracts demonstrated antimicrobial and antifungal activity. The shampoo passed all standard evaluation tests, including organoleptic properties, pH, foam production, and cleansing action. The final product exhibited ideal shampoo characteristics and was free from harmful preservatives like paraben, making it a safer alternative to synthetic shampoos.

      community Are there ever going to be any oral DHT blocking treatments in the future?

      in Product  6 upvotes 1 year ago
      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.
