Abstract

India is renowned for its traditional medical practices, such as ayurveda, yoga, Unani, and siddha. The use of herbal plants and their cosmetic preparations to improve human appearance is gaining popularity globally due to their effectiveness, quality and safety. This study aimed to create an herbal hair gel that promotes not only hair growth and health but also offers effective styling. The gel was made by combing ingredients known for their beneficial effects on hair, like flaxseed and fenugreek seed extracts rich in omega-3 fatty acid and antioxidants. Five different gel formulations were developed and tested, varying in the amount of these extracts, along with Aloevera gel, black tea powder extract and coconut oil. Evaluation tests were conducted on various aspects like appearance, pH, spreadability, viscosity and stability. Results indicated that formulations F4 and F5 performed well in all tested, showing good spreadability, viscosity, homogeneity and pH, remaining stable over time while effectively styling hair without causing damage. The use of natural ingredients made the gel gentle on hair and suitable for daily use, suggesting it could serve as a natural alternative in the cosmetic industry. Future research could explore incorporating additional plant extracts to further enhance the gel’s benefits.
