The review highlights the potential of natural products in treating hair loss by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which is crucial for hair follicle development, hair cycle regulation, and hair regeneration. Traditional treatments like finasteride and minoxidil have limitations, prompting research into natural compounds such as polyphenols, which show promise in promoting hair growth with fewer side effects. Key natural products identified include extracts from Aconitie Ciliare Tuber, Centipeda minima, Ginkgo biloba, Malva verticillata, and Prunus mira, which enhance β-catenin activity and other growth factors in dermal papilla cells. These findings suggest that natural products could offer safer and effective alternatives for hair loss treatment, with future research needed to explore clinical applications and potential combinations with existing drugs.
