TLDR Herbal hair gels are better for hair health than synthetic ones.
The study compared synthetic and herbal hair gels, finding that herbal gels were more effective in promoting hair growth and reducing hair loss due to fewer side effects. Synthetic gels often contained damaging ingredients like silicones and chlorides, which could block pores and cause hair damage. The research highlighted the benefits of incorporating herbs, such as flaxseed extract, into hair gels, with herbal formulations showing better results in terms of pH, viscosity, and stability. The study suggested that replacing certain chemical ingredients with natural herbs could mitigate adverse reactions like hair loss and itchy scalp, making herbal gels a safer and more effective alternative for hair treatments. The study did not specify the number of participants involved.
