    TLDR Some Indonesian plants might help with hair growth, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.
    The article discusses the potential of various Indonesian plants in promoting hair growth, a practice that has been traditionally used by locals for a long time. However, scientific research in this area has only gained momentum in the last two decades. The research, conducted by students and researchers in Indonesia, has identified dozens of plant types that could be developed into hair growth-promoting drugs. Despite these findings, the article highlights that there are still many weaknesses in the research process that need to be addressed to ensure the validity of the information regarding the efficacy of these plants in treating hair loss.

      The user forgot their minoxidil and finasteride while traveling in Indonesia and is concerned about hair loss. They are advised that a 6-week break might cause some shedding but not drastic changes, and it's safer to wait for friends to bring the medication due to strict drug laws.
