Abstract: The therapeutic benefits of medicinal plants for hair care have been acknowledged for centuries, with their use tracing back to ancient practices.This study focused on developing and evaluating a natural herbal shampoo using advanced formulation techniques, emphasizing safety and effectiveness as alternatives to synthetic components.The objective was to create a shampoo that not only cleanses but also strengthens, darkens, and promotes hair growth through advanced formulation techniques.Performance tests revealed a pH of 5.7, density of 0.9, viscosity of 1.96±0.64,and surface tension of 50.64±4.21,aligning with typical properties of herbal shampoos.Due to the absence of harsh chemicals, herbal shampoos typically exhibit higher surface tension and lower viscosity.The study concluded that this formulation offers a viable natural and safe alternative to synthetic shampoos for hair care.This research highlights the potential of medicinal plants in personal care and offers a foundation for further exploration to improve efficacy, stability, and sensory appeal for wider adoption in the hair care market.
