Abstract: 
The contemporary preference for natural substances over synthetic cosmetics is driven by the belief in their safety, effectiveness, and environmental friendliness, leading many individuals to opt for herbal alternatives. Herbs offer a myriad of benefits for the skin, including antibacterial, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing properties, owing to their combination of bioactive and photochemical components. Unlike chemical drugs, herbal medicines can achieve desired outcomes without the risk of adverse side effects. This research study utilized a method involving the weighing, powdering, and boiling of raw herbs in coconut oil to formulate a herbal hair oil product. The prepared oil underwent assessment based on various factors such as viscosity, pH, saponification value, and organoleptic characteristics. The findings indicate that the herbal hair oil demonstrated promising efficacy in addressing hair concerns like dandruff and hair fall, attributed to its provision of saponins, antioxidants, vitamins, and antibacterial activity, which contribute to stronger hair roots and improved blood circulation.
