Massaging a paste made of dried shikakai powder and warm water on the scalp can promote hair growth, toughen the hair strands, and improve the overall health of the scalp (4). Therefore, it may help stop hair thinning.
  4. Amla: The Indian gooseberry is known for its high vitamin C content that boosts collagen production. Increased collagen production stimulates faster and healthier hair growth (4).

  4. False Daisy: Bhringraj is a common ayurvedic ingredient. It is often used to promote hair growth (4), (16). This herb is used in ayurvedic medicine to make hair naturally darker. It also may prevent hair graying and may reverse balding (17). The herb may be used to treat scalp issues like eczemai  A chronic condition that occasionally flares up and causes dry, itchy skin. It is triggered by contact with allergens or irritants. and dermatitis (18)
  5. Jasmine: Jasmine has antimicrobial and conditioning properties that may improve hair health (19), (20). The juice from the night jasmine flower can be used as a hair tonic to prevent hair graying or baldness (21).
  6. Fenugreek: Fenugreek seeds can be as effective as minoxidil in promoting hair growth (22). The seeds contain phytoestrogens that are said to treat hair loss and promote hair growth. They also inhibit DHT activity and help in hair loss prevention or baldness (23).
  7. Oriental Arborvitae: The Oriental Arborvitae extracts stimulate hair growth by inducing the anagen phasei  The hair follicle growth phase that may last up to six years before the hair enters a resting phase. in the resting hair follicles (24). The herb can also be used to treat hair loss (25).
  8. Neem: Neem is often used in the treatment of head lice (26). Its antifungal properties can effectively treat and eliminate dandruff (27), (28). While neem oil could be potentially used as a treatment for alopecia, it may cause dermatitis and warrants caution (29). The oil contains linoleic and oleic acids that nourish and fortify hair (30). It also may smoothen hair.
  9. Sage: Sage oil can be used as an anti-dandruff treatment (31). Its leaves can be used in oils to darken hair color (32). It may also be used as a hair conditioner (33). A study showed that sage, when paired with other herbs, can increase hair density and induce the anagen phase in hair follicles (34).
  10. Burdock: Burdock has anti-inflammatory properties that can be used in scalp treatment (4). It strengthens hair and improves scalp health. It can also be used to treat seborrheic dermatitisi  A skin disorder that primarily affects the scalp and results in scaly patches, irritated skin, and persistent dandruff. , psoriasisi  A non-communicable autoimmune condition that causes dry, itchy, and scaly patches on the skin. , and dandruff; and helps balance an oily scalp (35).
  11. Stinging Nettle: Stinging nettle keeps testosterone from turning into DHT (this conversion is the major cause of hair loss in men) (8). It can be used to treat telogen effluviumi  A temporary condition where hair begins to fall out 2–3 months after a stressful event, such as childbirth or surgery. as it has regenerative properties that activate hair follicles (36).
  12. Jatamansi: Jatamansi€™s rhizome extract is often used in hair tonics to stimulate hair growth (33). It also deepens hair color (making it darker) and improves hair luster (31), (37). It has even been studied to stimulate hair growth for cancer therapy (38). In another study, an herbal formulation containing jatamansi was found to reduce hair loss (39).
  13. Saw Palmetto: Saw palmetto reduces hair loss and promotes hair follicle regrowth (8). It prevents the conversion of testosterone to DHT and helps curb hair loss (40). It is also often used in hair masks and shampoos to regulate sebum production.
  14. Ashwagandha: Ashwagandha has the potential to mitigate stress-induced hair loss as it possesses mood-enhancing properties that aid in stress and anxiety management. It is also abundant in antioxidants, which safeguard cells from free radical damage (41). These antioxidants also sustain the shine of hair fibers and shield them against UV radiation (42). Moreover, ashwagandha extract has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory attributes that help relieve irritated, itchy scalp (41). It also stimulates dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) production, thereby enhancing collagen and sebum production in the scalp (43).
  15. Peppermint: Peppermint delivers a cooling sensation that alleviates itchiness, offering relief to dry scalps (44). It may also promote hair growth. A study found that a 3% peppermint essential oil solution thickened hair follicles in mice, surpassing the effects of minoxidil, an FDA-approved hair loss treatment (45). Using it consistently may enhance blood flow to the hair follicles, promoting overall hair health.

However, anecdotal evidence suggests that some herbs may cause allergic reactions or contact dermatitis in certain individuals. Hence, always do a patch test before using herbs or any home remedies for hair growth on the scalp. If you notice any redness, irritation, or swelling, stop use and consult your doctor.
