Abstract

Background: Exposure to toxic chemicals, dust, stress, and medical conditions are the causes of hair loss, aesthetic loss, and lack of confidence in communication. A suitable remedy to help improve hair loss is to use a shampoo that stimulates hair growth. Objective: To evaluate the hair growth promoting effect of shampoo containing Citrus grandis peel essential oil combined with Gleditsia sinensis on a shaved white mice model. Material and methods: shampoo containing Citrus grandis peel essential oil combined with Gleditsia sinensis was prepared from grapefruit peel essential oils extracted by steam distillation and Gleditsia sinensis dried powder. The studied mice are 07-week-old male white mice, whose back skin is marked and hair is removed with a specialized hair removal tool. Minoxidil 5% and physiological saline were used as controls. Shampoo, minoxidil and physiological saline are applied once daily on the shaved back skin after bathing with clean water. Results: Research show that the hair in mice using shampoo containing Citrus grandis peel essential oil combined with Gleditsia sinensis began to grow 2.5 days earlier than that in mice without using. Hair length was also significantly increased by 0.328mm (p=0.005) in mice using shampoo. The study team found that using shampoo containing Citrus grandis peel essential oil combined with Gleditsia sinensis increased the number of hairs by 8.25 strands/3.75cm2 (p=0.004). Conclusion: The use of shampoo containing Citrus grandis peel essential oil combined with Gleditsia sinensis on mice shows that shampoo could improve hair condition, helping hair grow faster, more, and longer.
