    TLDR Plant-based hair care products can effectively treat hair loss with fewer side effects than synthetic treatments, and more research is needed for their development.
    Hair disorders such as dandruff, grey hair, and greasy hair can exacerbate hair loss, significantly impacting an individual's quality of life. The primary segment of hair care cosmetics focuses on anti-hair loss or hair growth promoting products. While synthetic agents like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride can effectively treat hair loss, they often have more severe side effects compared to the milder and fewer side effects from efficient phytocosmetics treatment. The document discusses both currently used phytocosmetics for hair care and potential future candidates. The author emphasizes the need for research on the development of innovative phytocosmetics for hair care to align with consumer preferences.
