Introduction

Beauty and cosmetic concepts are as ancient as mankind and civilization. Cosmetics play a vital role in human life. Herbal cosmetics is one of the most effective areas of cosmetic technology. Herbal cosmetics are developed by a coalition of bioactive ingredients and pharmaceutical products. Herbs are used for the beautification purposes of the body, and the preparation of cosmetics, flavoring, and coloring agents. Hair plays a vital role in the personality of humans and we use a lot of cosmetics products for the care of hair. The study aims to review the importance of herbal oil and its use in common hair problems such as baldness, hair fall, hair dryness, dandruff, etc. Various beauty and cosmetic products are used which contain herbs to give a young and charming look. Various herbal ingredients are used in herbal hair formulation; they provide essential nutrients such as vitamins, antioxidants, etc. Herbal hair oil has been widely used for the nourishment of hair and for the protection of hair from hair fall and hair damage. Nowadays side effect is a major problem after using any beauty product due to which herbal products are preferred because of having less probability of any types of side effects.[1] Hair is one of the characteristic features of mammals and has various functions such as protection against external factors i.e. heat, cold, etc. Hair is one of the important parts of the body considered to be a protective appendage on the body and accessory structure of the integument along with the sebaceous gland and sweat gland. The basic parts of hair are the bulb, root, and shaft Hair fall, dandruff, lice, split ends, grey hair are some of the well-known problems related to hair. A piece of hair looks simple but it is one of the most complicated structures in the body [1] Hair is composed of cylindrical structures or shafts made up of tightly compacted cells that grow from small sac-like organs called follicles (Fig. 1). In man, the diameter of individual hair shafts may range from 15 to 120 pm depending upon the type of hair and the region of the body the follicle is located. Hair contains a family of sulfur-rich proteins called keratin (from the Greek word, keras, meaning horn). In the hair shaft, keratin forms long fibers that become bound together very tightly through the replacement of SH groups with S-S bonds and through chemical crosslinking with other proteins. The result is a very tough, highly stable structure. [18]

  • Structure of the hair shaft

       
            Fig no.1.png
       
Fig no.1:Simplified diagram of a hair follicle, the associated apocrine, sebaceous and sweat glands, and the multi-layered vascular system in the surrounding tissues.[18]

Each hair shaft consists of three distinct types of cells: an outer cuticle which surrounds a central cortex which, in turn, may contain a central medulla ,  The cuticle of human hair consists of a single layer of elongated, overlapping individual cells. Each cuticle cell is approximately 0.5 to 1.0 pm thick and approximately 45 km long. The function of the cuticle is to anchor the hair shaft in the follicle and to protect the interior fibers. However, the cuticle can be damaged or destroyed by chemicals, heat, light, or mechanical injury. As a result, the cuticle becomes less intact towards the distal end of the shaft and may become frayed and fall apart. The cortex forms the bulk of the hair shaft and is composed of long keratinized cells which are formed into long fibers approximately 100 lrn long. These fibers are held together by a special chemical cement. Between the cells of the cortex are very small air spaces called fusi. In the living portion of the hair root, these small spaces are filled with fluid but as the hair grows and dries out, air replaces the fluid. Pigment granules are also found in cortical cells and the type of pigment and alignment gives hair its color. Melanin (from the Greek word melus for black) is the principal pigment of hair, as well as the skin and eyes. Melanin is synthesized in specialized organelles called melanosomes located within the hair bulb in small bodies called melanocytes. Here, melanin is made from the amino acid tyrosine through the action of the enzyme tyrosinase. The color of human hair, from black to white, is produced by different amounts, distribution and types of pigments.[18]

  • Hair growth cycle:

 There are three phases of the hair growth cycle, mentioned below.

  1. Anagen (Growth phase) – this is a short phase of 2-8 years and about 80% of hair is in this phase.
  2. Catagen (Involution) –This is a very short phase 10-14 days and in this phase the activity of hair growth increases and then hair moves to the next phase.
  3. Telogen (Resting phase) – in this stage hair is in the resting stage and this stage lasts for 90-100 days. Generally, 50-100 hairs are shed randomly every day. The telogen phase is a state at which the hairs move into a resting state. More than 100 hair per day causes a state of alopecia (hair loss), albeit it could be temporary [3]
  • Common Hair Disorders:

 In Ayurveda, hair diseases are described in three types Khalitya (loss of hairs), Palitya (Premature hair graying ), and Indralupta (alopecia areata, totalis, universalis). They can be further manifested clinically as:

  1. Congenital disorders of hair growth: this type of hair disorder is genetic not environmental. It is also called hypertrichosis because it results in defects in the normal growth of hair follicles in the embryonic stage. It is one kind of alopecia.
  2. Acquired disorders of hair growth: this type of disorder is more complex in nature and is caused by biological factors of hair.
  3. Dandruff: Dandruff is a scaly particle which is cling to the root of the hair. It is caused by a poor diet, infection, and slow rate of metabolism as well as by stress. Dandruff occurs at puberty and it is more common in men than women.
  4. Split Ends: it is commonly faced by women. When the hair is dry and brittle then results in split ends.
  5. Frizzy Hair: this is caused by a decrease in normal hair moisture level. High brushing condition leads to frizzy hair.
  6. Flaky Scalp: it is white flakes of dead skin that prevent the growth of hair and cause to hair loss. This problem is most common in women.
  7. Dull, Gummy Hair: it occurs due to the use of hard water for washing hair.
  8. Hair Loss: it is common in women and men also. This caused by stress, menopause, birth control, medication, changing hormones, and the plethora of hair styling products[40]. Alopecia is a common hair problem in cosmetics and also in Primary Health Care Practice, has been recognized for more than 2000 years. Approximately 0.2%-2% of the world population has been affected from alopecia

  1. Organoleptic properties:
  1. coloration: Detected through bare eyes.
  2. Sensitivity: implemented to the skin and exposed to the sunlight for 5 minutes to check for any inflammation over pores and skin.
  3. Grittiness: Rubbed to the skin and determined.
  4. Sedimentation: Hold the entire instruction aside overnight and check for sedimentation.
  1. pH determination:

Take a pH paper dip into the formulated hair oil and check for the coloration trade.

  1.  Acid cost: 10 ml of oil turned into added with 25ml of ethanol and 25ml of ether. Phenolphthalein changed into Delivered as indicator and titrated with zero.1M Potassium hydroxide solution. N = wide variety of ml of 0.1M KOH qw= Wt. of oil.
  2. Specific gravity:  Specific gravity  the prepared oil became decided the usage of unique gravity bottle.
  3. Balance study : It is preferred with the aid of retaining the organized natural hair oil in a closed container at cooled and dry place.
