This case study reports that sudden hair matting occurred in a patient after using coconut and castor oils on long hair, requiring the hair to be cut off due to irreversible felting.

In this study, researchers developed a polyherbal hair growth oil using botanical substances and base oils like coconut and castor oil, finding it to be stable, non-irritating, and suggesting potential hair-growing properties through mechanisms such as scalp blood flow improvement and anti-inflammatory effects.

The authors concluded that mineral and vegetable oils have complementary roles in hair care, with coconut oil noted for its ability to penetrate hair fibers and reduce protein loss.

In this study, the researchers described a formulation process for Ratanjot hair oil using Alkanna tinctoria roots, reporting traditional uses of the oil in preventing hair loss, baldness, premature greying, and promoting hair growth, but did not present empirical results.
